M. A., at one time master of Harrow
School, says in his most interesting
book that he had a few years ago the
privilege of meeting the king OF the
Qulah country, Tetty Agamasong, at
Harrow. The Quiah king had been
educated at St. Augustine's College,
Canterbury, and was able to lecture
to the Harrovians in good English. N
his lecture he told a quaint story
which brings one nearer to the weird
lives Of the Quiahs, small agricui-
tural and trading tride Of inoffensive
character on the west coast Of Africa.
