Lander’s Travels

CHAPTER V
2/36

The Gambia abounds with fish, but none of them are known in Europe.

In six days after leaving Vintain, he reached Jonkakonda, a place of considerable trade, where the vessel was to take in part of her lading.

The next morning the European traders came from their different factories, to receive their letters, and learn the nature and amount of the cargo; whilst the captain despatched a letter to Dr.Laidley, with the information of Mr.Park's arrival.

Dr.Laidley came to Jonkakonda the morning following, when he delivered to him Mr.Beaufoy's letter, when the doctor gave him a kind invitation to spend his time at his house at Pisania, until an opportunity should offer of prosecuting his journey.

This invitation was too acceptable to be refused.
Pisania is a small village in the king of Yany's dominions, established by British subjects, as a factory for trade, and inhabited solely by them and their black servants.
