The First White Man in Africa.
r . Thompson, of the Aleadi ihission, thus
speaks of the sensation he producod, when
first seen by the blacks:
••Ilere, u here they never sa.w a white
anti before, I am u great wonder to them.
'lshey have flocked from far and near for
IW9 month to see ine. Some are afraid to
shake my bated, but most come to tell me
Flow do you. do.!" They generally come
with great diffidence and reverence, and
some, and even chief,, have come and
kneeled at my feet to shake my hand as
slaves and subjects approach to their masters
and kings in this country. They all con
sider me some su i terior lk."ing. Whenever
go into any town I have to sit a king time
for the crowd to gather and gaze at me,
without being willing to leave toe. If in
the house, it is crowed ; if sitting down to
write or read outside, they crowd round me,
and stare and wolider ; if I walk in the town
they run before and after, shouting and ma
king a great 'wise, if eating every 'notion
%.'atched and many made about
tat• manner. "\Vity, ,7eti he eats , with tt
knife f" lily little he takes" "Gentlemen
in this country t at with their hands." "Why
look that rice is not 'tear einat4ll for one man,
he leaves half of it ! Proomoie (white men)
don't know how to cat, "and such like re.
fualks." Thus it' n-huge town, where Igo
toe first time, I get but little quietness
except in the night and then they generally
keep up such a noise by drumming, singing
and dancing till midnight, that sleep flies
from Ille till 1 get so nervous I cannot sleep
after their noise has ceased so that it is ex
ceedingly wet.ting on toe • night and day.
"They consider 1110 supernatural and if
none attempt to worship all fear me. In
various places chiefs and otbers have called
the a god ! One chief called a meeting to
give 'me an answer whether they would
leave the war, "don't you know this man is
a god ! Look at him ! •We don't know
where he came from—•whether he walked
here, or dropped front the clouds ? When
he came, Clod came. What he says God
says 'and what he says we - must do, &c.
Another chief (on the other side of the war)
heard 1 had written his name in a book, and
was greatly terrified saying. "Oh dear
what did you tell hint to write my name in
book for to make medic Don't you know
he is a god: and knows how long I shall live
and can kill me when he pleases 1" At:
