Gone from the town, and that the rest
were to follow him in the morning.
June 9. - Early in the morning the remainder of the Moors departed
from the town. They had, during their stay, committed many acts of
robbery; and this morning with the most unparalleled audacity, they
seized upon three girls who were bringing water from the wells, and
carried them away into slavery.
June 12. - Two people, dreadfully wounded, were discovered at a
watering-place in the woods; one of them had just breathed his last,
but the other was brought alive to Jarra. On recovering a little he
informed the people that he had fled through the woods from Kasson;
that Daisy had made war upon Sambo, the king of that country; had
surprised three of his towns, and put all the inhabitants to the
sword. He enumerated by name many of the friends of the Jarra
people who had been murdered in Kasson. This intelligence made the
death-howl universal in Jarra for the space of two days.
This piece of bad news was followed by another not less distressing.
A number of runaway slaves arrived from Kaarta on the 14th, and
reported that Daisy, having received information concerning the
intended attack upon him, was about to visit Jarra.
