ADMIRALTY LORE IN WEST AFRICA.

A case the Privy Council have just heard presents that common object of the seashore,

mud- dredger, in a more poetic light than usual. The case came from West

to Africa, and relates the neigh- bourhood of the outfall of the Amanzuli River at a point known as the Twin Rivers, on the Bakanta- Arensini littoral, says the Journal of Commerce.

It was a dispute between nativo Chiefs-Abakah Kthah, Chief of the Ampani, to the east of the outfall, and Kweku Ackah. Chief of Bakanta, on the west of the outfall, to the south of the lagoon, and related to land which the former's predecessor had planted cocoa and rubber trees.

Counsel explained that, in the days of their ancestors, the river overflowed its banks, and for some refused to re- mysterious reason aume its normal dimensions, so that It became necessary to offer an ob lation to the river god, and the Chief, whose particular duty it was. sought out an oblation in the form of a black fowl, which was deemed

But the pullet, apparently, was not adequate, and the ferry problem remained pressing. He next offer- ed a black sheep, which appears to be a more effective way of clearing an outfall channel of silt, and every. body hoped for the best, but mak ing a scapegoat even of a black sheep did not meet the case.

The Omanhin, or Over-chief, then required the local Chief, on whom lay the responsibility in these matters, to sacrifice his son. Apparently a son was not available, so he prepared to offer a nephew.
