A White woman among native Africans.(search)
A White woman among native Africans.
--A Sierra Leone paper states that a white woman, who accompanied her husband, a missionary, up the Cavalla river last May, excited the greatest curiosity and admiration among the sable dwellers in that benighted region, where a white woman had never been seen.
All wanted to touch her, and great surprise was expressed upon feeling her hair.--The King of the Nyinemo tribe called her "very fine," and complimented her husband greatly for selecting her. And when she told him he might see other white women who would surpass her, he said that would either never be, or else a very long time.
Owing to her presence, the attendance on preaching was extraordinary large.
During her visit at the Mission Station, husbands went to see her, who said they could feel satisfied to die now that they had seen such a wonderful thing as a white woman.
