"I gave _you_, some victuals" said the slave, "when _you_ were hungry.

Have you forgotten the man who brought you milk at Karrankalla?
But," added he with a sigh, "_the irons were not then on my legs_." Mr.
Park immediately recollected him, procured for him some ground nuts, and learned that he had been taken by the Bambarrans, the day after the battle at Joka, and sent to Sego, where he had been purchased by his present master, who was carrying him to Kajaaga.
In the middle of December, Karfa, who proposed to complete his purchase of slaves, departed for Kancaba, a large town on the banks of the Niger, and a great slave market.

It was his intention to return in a month, and during his absence left Mr.Park to the care of a good old bushreen, who was schoolmaster at Kamalia.

The name of this schoolmaster was Fankooma, and although a Mahometan, was not intolerant in his principles.

He read much, and took great pleasure in professional efforts.
