The Sultanate of Bornu

Note 30 — II

Philip Askell Benton translation

[For Overweg’s boat brought from Malta in pieces, vid. Benton, Notes on Some Languages, p. 164. The late Boyd Alexander thought he had discovered the remains of this boat in Lake Chad (From the Niger to the Nile, ii. 66). Tilho, in Documents scientifiques, i. 10, adduces strong reasons for thinking that it was only the remains of a Kotoko canoe lost by the Lenfant expedition in 1903.]
