What
will
I
do
with
them
?
"
replied
Negoro
.
"
Before
telling
you
,
Harris
,
give
me
news
of
our
master
,
the
slave-trader
,
Alvez
,
whom
I
have
not
seen
for
two
years
.
"
"
Oh
,
the
old
rascal
is
remarkably
well
,
"
replied
Harris
,
"
and
he
will
be
enchanted
to
see
you
again
.
"
"
Is
he
at
the
Bihe
market
?
"
asked
Negoro
.
"
No
,
comrade
,
he
has
been
at
his
establishment
at
Kazounde
for
a
year
.
"
"
And
business
is
lively
?
"
"
Yes
,
a
thousand
devils
!
"
exclaimed
Harris
,
"
although
the
slave
trade
becomes
more
and
more
difficult
,
at
least
on
this
coast
.
The
Portuguese
authorities
on
one
side
,
and
the
English
cruisers
on
the
other
,
limit
exportations
.
There
are
few
places
,
except
in
the
environs
of
Mossamedes
,
to
the
south
of
Angola
,
that
the
shipping
of
blacks
can
now
be
made
with
any
chance
of
success
.
So
,
at
this
time
,
the
pens
are
filled
with
slaves
,
waiting
for
the
ships
which
ought
to
carry
them
to
Spanish
colonies
.
As
to
passing
them
by
Benguela
,
or
St.
Paul
de
Loanda
,
that
is
not
possible
.
The
governors
no
longer
understand
reason
,
no
more
do
the
chiefs
(
title
given
to
the
Portuguese
governors
of
secondary
establishments
)
.
We
must
,
then
,
return
to
the
factories
of
the
interior
.
This
is
what
old
Alvez
intends
to
do
.
He
will
go
from
the
Nyangwe
and
Tanganyika
side
to
change
his
stuffs
for
ivory
and
slaves
.
Business
is
always
profitable
with
upper
Egypt
and
the
Mozambique
coast
,
which
furnishes
all
Madagascar
.
But
I
fear
the
time
will
come
when
the
trade
can
be
no
longer
carried
on
.
The
English
are
making
great
progress
in
the
interior
of
Africa
.
The
missionaries
advance
and
work
against
us
.
That
Livingstone
,
curse
him
,
after
exploring
the
lake
region
,
is
going
,
they
say
,
to
travel
toward
Angola
.
Then
they
speak
of
a
Lieutenant
Cameron
,
who
proposes
to
cross
the
continent
from
east
to
west
.
They
also
fear
that
the
American
,
Stanley
,
wishes
to
do
as
much
.
All
these
visits
will
end
by
damaging
our
operations
,
Negoro
,
and
if
we
care
for
our
own
interests
,
not
one
of
those
visitors
will
return
to
relate
in
Europe
what
he
has
had
the
indiscretion
to
come
to
see
in
Africa
.
"
Would
not
one
say
,
to
hear
them
,
the
rascals
,
that
they
were
speaking
like
honest
merchants
whose
affairs
were
momentarily
cramped
by
a
commercial
crisis
?
Who
would
believe
that
,
instead
of
sacks
of
coffee
or
casks
of
sugar
,
they
were
talking
of
human
beings
to
export
like
merchandise
?
These
traders
have
no
other
idea
of
right
or
wrong
.
The
moral
sense
is
entirely
lacking
in
them
,
and
if
they
had
any
,
how
quickly
they
would
lose
it
among
the
frightful
atrocities
of
the
African
slave
trade
.
But
where
Harris
was
right
,
was
when
he
said
that
civilization
was
gradually
penetrating
those
savage
countries
in
the
wake
of
those
hardy
travelers
,
whose
names
are
indissoluble
linked
to
the
discoveries
of
Equatorial
Africa
.
At
the
head
,
David
Livingstone
,
after
him
,
Grant
,
Speke
,
Burton
,
Cameron
,
Stanley
,
those
heroes
will
leave
imperishable
names
as
benefactors
of
humanity
.
