Note 387 — VII
Philip Askell Benton translation
Barth, iii. 289; Rohlfs, i. 307. Cf. also Foureau, D’Alger au Congo, p. 505. According to Barth, gunpowder also is manufactured in the country, Barth, iii. 127 ff. (German edition). The powder-magazine, which blew up when the French captured Dikoa, must have been filled for the most part with locally manufactured powder.
