Text Appearing Before Image:
cetteinformation. A onze heures, à six cents mètres de Yariembi, je distingue dansses rues deux bonnets rouges de Haoussa. Il est donc vrai quils sont là !

On lui sert un bon bouillon, des côtelettes de chèvre, du biscuit etun verre de mon vieux porto. Cest plaisir de le voir manger. Sonestomac apaisé, jappelle les chefs indigènes ; je leur donne huitfusils à percussion, quatre barillets de poudre, mille capsules etdeux cents baguettes de laiton : une vraie fortune pour ce pays-là. Ilsjubilent. — Vous devriez, me disent-ils, donner des fusils à tous les ennemisdes Arabes; ils seraient bien vite chassés de la contrée si les blancsnous aidaie
