Note 36 — II
Philip Askell Benton translation
[Nachtigal was accompanied by a Piedmontese cook, Giuseppe Valpreda, who became converted to Islam, called himself Mohamed el Mussulmani, and remained in Kuka with the Shehu. He was seen there by Monteil in 1892, and by the Niger Co. mission under McIntosh at the end of 1890. He died when fleeing from Rabeh in 1893; cf. Benton, Notes on Some Languages, p. 304, quoting from Dujarric, Vie du Sultan Rabah, p. 53, and Tilho, Doc. sc. i. 15.]
