"In the evening, we had a pig, dressed as the hog, with yams and
cocoa-nuts, brought for supper; and Futtafaihe finding that we did not
like the scruples they had made before, to accept of any part of the
entertainment, asked us immediately to share it, and give it to whom we
pleased. When supper was over, abundance of cloth was brought for us to
sleep in, but we were a good deal disturbed, by a singular instance of
luxury, in which their principal men indulge themselves, that of being
beat while they are asleep. Two women sat by Futtafaihe, and performed
this operation, which is called _tooge tooge_, by beating briskly on his
body and legs, with both fists, as on a drum, till he fell asleep, and
continuing it the whole night, with some short intervals. When once the
person is asleep, they abate a little in the strength and quickness of
the beating, but resume it, if they observe any appearance of his
awaking. In the morning, we found that Futtafaihe's women relieved each
other, and went to sleep by turns. In any other country, it would be
supposed, that such a practice would put an end to all rest, but here it
certainly acts as an opiate, and is a strong proof of what habit may
effect. The noise of this, however, was not the only thing that kept us
awake; for the people, who passed the night in the house, not only
conversed amongst each other frequently, as in the day, but all got up
before it was light, and made a hearty meal on fish and yams, which were
brought to them by a person, who seemed to know very well the appointed
time for this nocturnal refreshment."

"Next morning, July 1, we set out with Futtafaihe, and walked down the
east side of the bay to the point. The country, all along this side, is
well cultivated, but, in general, not so much inclosed as at Mooa; and
amongst many other plantain fields that we passed, there was one at
least a mile long, which was in excellent order, every tree growing with
great vigour. We found, that, in travelling, Futtafaihe exercised a
power, though by no means wantonly, which pointed out the great
authority of such principal men; or is, perhaps, only annexed to those
of the royal family. For he sent to one place for fish, to another for
yams, and so on, at other places, and all his orders were obeyed with
the greatest readiness, as if he had been absolute master of the
people's property. On coming to the point, the natives mentioned
something of one, who, they said, had b
