Sinopsis

Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: March, 1831

At Toma, a small village about sixty miles from Sierra Le one, Major Laing learned that no white person had ever before been seen. At Balanduco, a few miles beyond Toma, the women were busily employed in separating the juicy saffron coloured fruit from the palm nut; in squeezing it into wooden mortars, and in beating it into one common mash, in order that the oil might be extracted more easily and more copiously in boiling. From the extent of the preparation, and the numer ous bunches of the fruit which the natives were continually bringing into the town, it might be estimated that they manu factured, on an average from thirty to forty gallons a day, du ring the season of bearing.
