Стр. 270 - On the homeward voyage a Government officer informed me that out of fifty Europeans who were at Cape Coast two years previously, only five were alive that day, which statement reminded me of the fact that an officer connected with the Ashanti expedition was informed that out of twenty who dined at the house of a British merchant on Christmas Day, 1894, only two were alive on the following Christmas Day.
Стр. 232 - I should consider myself worse than despicable if I failed to declare my firm conviction that the British Army and Navy are today used by God for the accomplishment of His purpose': a Wesleyan missionary quoted by Geoffrey Moorhouse in The Missionaries, 1973, p.
