| |one day’s march north of the | | |
| |komádugu, on the road to Kánem, | | |
| |but even other places in the | | |
| |middle of Bórnu, as will be seen| | |
| |in the course of my narrative, | | |
| |have to buy their peace by a | | |
| |sort of tribute to be paid to | | |
| |the Tawárek freebooters. | | |
| | | | |
| |But besides his own personal | | |
| |weakness, and inclination to | | |
| |ascetic piety, there was a | | |
| |dangerous cancer undermining the| | |
| |health of the new dynasty: this | | |
| |was the rivalry which soon arose| | |
| |between him and his brother ʿAbd| | |
| |e’ Rahmán, on account of the | | |
| |vizier el Háj Beshír, who | | |
| |enjoyed the whole confidence of | | |
| |the sheikh, and employed his | | |
| |authority too exclusively. The | | |
| |results of this unfortunate | | |
| |quarrel I will here report to | | |
| |their end, although they fall | | |
| |after the time of my arrival in | | |
| |Bórnu. I have already observed | | |
| |above, that on leaving Múrzuk we| | |
| |were informed that a quarrel was| | |
| |about to break out between ʿOmár| | |
| |and ʿAbd e’ Rahmán; but happily | | |
| |matters were then adjusted, and | | |
| |the rivalry did not proceed to a| | |
| |civil war before the winter of | | |
| |1853, when ʿAbd e’ Rahmán, with | | |
| |his partisans, left Kúkawa and | | |
| |went to Gújebá. The sheikh and | | |
| |his vizier followed him, but | | |
| |being betrayed by many of the | | |
| |courtiers, who were badly | | |
| |disposed against the vizier, | | |
| |they were defeated in an | | |
| |irregular skirmish; and Háj | | |
| |Beshír, certainly with very | | |
| |little show of courage, was the | | |
| |first who turned his back, and | | |
| |collecting his most valuable | | |
| |treasures, started for Wádáy. | | |
| |Being detained by the Shúwa, who| | |
| |would not allow him to cross the| | |
| |Shárí, he was induced to return | | |
| |to Kúkawa, on safe-conduct being| | |
| |promised to him by ʿAbd e’ | | |
| |Rahmán, but having been found | | |
| |guilty of treason was strangled.| | |
| |ʿOmár meanwhile was allowed to | | |
| |reside as a private man in the | | |
| |house of his former vizier till,| | |
| |in the summer of 1854, ʿAbd e’ | | |
| |Rahmán ordered him to go to | | |
| |reside in Díkowa. He then | | |
| |collected the malcontents, and | | |
| |on the ʿAíd el kebír vanquished | | |
| |his brother in the open place | | |
| |between the two towns, and made | | |
| |him prisoner, and in the first | | |
| |days of December killed him. | | |
| |Thus he is once more sole ruler | | |
| |of the country; but having lost | | |
| |his vizier, upon whose advice he| | |
| |was formerly wont to rely | | |
| |entirely, he has nobody to | | |
| |supply his want of energy. Time | | |
| |will show whether Bórnu is again| | |
| |to flourish under this dynasty, | | |
| |or whether it has to undergo | | |
| |another revolution. From the | | |
| |sequel of my narrative it will | | |
| |sufficiently appear that it is | | |
| |not in such a state as it ought | | |
| |to be; but it has the advantage | | |
| |that all over Negroland there is| | |
| |no warlike and energetic king at| | |
| |the present time. | | |

[Footnote 177: See Edrisi, translated by Jaubert, vol. i. pp. 25. 119.
Jaubert reads Semnah; but the name Sámina is of frequent occurrence on
the border of Negroland.]
[Footnote 178: The name of Húwa, as the name of a man, appears also in
Imám Áhmed’s history.]
[Footnote 179: ولى بالخليفة means only he ascended the throne, the Bórnu
people regarding the dignity of the ruler of Kánem as a khalifate.]
[Footnote 180: It is very remarkable, and confirms the dates of the
chronicle marvellously, that El Bekri, who wrote towards the end of the
dynasty of the Dúguwa, in the reign of Árki, A.D. 1067, says expressly
(p. 456.), that the inhabitants of Kánem were at that time idolaters.]
[Footnote 181: Edrísí, translated by Jaubert, vol. i. p. 24., where
انجمي is to be read instead of الحمي.]
[Footnote 182: Ébn Khaldún, _l.c._]
[Footnote 183: Ábú ’l Fedá, texte Arabe, p. 245., compared with p. 127.,
where, in speaking of Wadán, he says distinctly, والجميع الان في طاعة
ملك الكانم “And the whole of the country is at present under the
dominion of the king of Kánem.” In the time of Makrízí the empire of
Kánem extended from Zála, the well-known place eight days’ march from
Aújila, and the same distance from the syrtis (Edrísí, p. 288.; Ábú ’l
Fedá, p. 128.), as far as Kaká (Gógo), on the meridian of Maghreb el
aúsat.—_Quatremère, Mémoires sur l’Egypte_, vol. ii. p. 28.]
[Footnote 184: Ébn Sʿaíd, cited by Makrízí. Hamaker, Spec. Cat. p. 206.
It is to be remarked that in both instances where the name is mentioned,
a و precedes, which might have taken away the ف.]
[Footnote 185: Mr. Blau (p. 311.), in translating this passage of the
chronicle, which he did not understand, has made a most ridiculous
mistake.]
[Footnote 186: Makrízí, in Burckhardt’s Travels in Nubia, Appendix III.
p. 450.; Quatremère, Mémoires sur l’Egypte, vol. ii. p. 28.]
[Footnote 187: Mr. Blau has also misunderstood this passage. ببلدهم ملي
means nothing else but that their native country was Melle.]
[Footnote 188: Mr. Blau, of course, who had no knowledge of the Soy,
must be excused for having read in all these passages سوق, although the
second و belongs to the following sentence, the dots in his copy being
added by negligence.]
[Footnote 189: The place Dámmasak may still be identified from a basin
of the komádugu which has been called after it. It is at present
generally called Fátoghaná (see above, p. 233.)—_Denham_ (who writes
Dúmmasak), vol. i. p. 160.; but in the map the name is accurately spelt
from Clapperton’s account.]
[Footnote 190: P. 77. of my MS. copy.]
[Footnote 191: The name is clearly written in my MS.; and there is not
the least doubt that Kanó is meant. Blau, _l.c._, reads Kuttu.]
[Footnote 192: Thus the name is clearly written in my copy; but in
another copy it seems to be Bérberá.]
[Footnote 193: What an immense power this officer must at one time have
enjoyed is amply and clearly illustrated by the fact that his sons were
entitled princes (“mai-na”), and his daughters princesses (“mai-ram”),
like the children of the sultan, the difference of rank being only
expressed by adding the word “keghámma-ram.”]
[Footnote 194: Denham and Clapperton’s Narrative, Appendix, vol. ii. p.
164.]
[Footnote 195: Bulletin de la Soc. Géogr. Paris, 1849, p. 252.]
[Footnote 196: Ibid.]
[Footnote 197: The words mean evidently nothing else than that under him
the empire of Bórnu reached its highest pitch of _greatness_. The name
of the town of Kabara is written كابرة, and was never a town of great
importance; indeed it is absurd to suppose that the name of a small
harbour should have been mentioned here in preference to that of the
capital, Gágho or Gógó, or at least Timbuktu.]
[Footnote 198: Hamaker, p. 206.]
[Footnote 199: After this country, also, the wool-bearing sheep of Bórnu
are called “dimí yerirám.”]
[Footnote 200: Imám Áhmed.]
[Footnote 201: The name Kel-eghrármar seems to indicate Berber origin.]
[Footnote 202: The name is written in three different ways: sometimes
كُنهُ, at others كون or كنو.]
[Footnote 203: دلا. In Bórnu also there was a large town of this name;
or it seems rather that Ghasréggomo was sometimes called by this name,
as will appear from the following passage:—
وتوجه تلغا برنوا الى ان بلغ المدينه الكبيره بُرنِي دلــــــا]
[Footnote 204: اتْربِسْه من كُتُسِه]
[Footnote 205: مُنيوه.]
[Footnote 206: مع جمعهم من تلظٍ وغيرها.]
[Footnote 207: جميع من في الارض من قبيله كَليِتِه. They are mentioned
also in another passage as قومه من قبيله كِلوَتِه; and this latter form
of the word is probably the right one.]
[Footnote 208: صاحب اهير.]
[Footnote 209: اغْرَمْ-والى بلد اقاليم دُرْكُه كلها.]
[Footnote 210: كُبْسِه.]
[Footnote 211: كَراوا.]
[Footnote 212: It is remarkable how closely this picture of the great
highroad of Negroland, and its troubled state, resembles that drawn by
Leo, l. vii. c. ix.: “E ciascuno de’ mercatanti tiene gran quantità di
schiavi per valersi dell’ ajuto loro ne’ passi da Cano a Borno; come da
Zingani poverissima e ladra gente.” Whether, under the general name of
Zingani, Leo understood the Nghizim I cannot say; but that may be the
case.]
[Footnote 213: غُجَمْبِنا. It is remarkable that this name, in its
latter part, closely resembles that of Mábiná, the country mentioned by
Makrízí as invaded by a Bórnu king (Dúnama Selmámi) in the year 1250.
See above, p. 262.]
[Footnote 214: كتاكُم.]
[Footnote 215: The name in my MS. is sometimes written تتاله, at others
تلاله.]
[Footnote 216: القبيله كَتكُوا.]
[Footnote 217: The name is sometimes written الخر سَادْ, sometimes البجر
ثادْ.]
[Footnote 218: صاحب مَفَتي.]
[Footnote 219: A town of the same name on the Tsád is mentioned,
together with Kúri, by Denham, i. p. 192.]
[Footnote 220: مَكَرِ. Mákari and Kótokó are but different names of the
same country, just as Áfno and Háusa, Mákari being the name used by the
Kanúri.]
[Footnote 221: كُسُرِ.]
[Footnote 222: Denham, vol. i. p. 327.]
[Footnote 223: دكانا.]
[Footnote 224: Lucas, Proceedings of the African Association, vol. i. p.
227.]
[Footnote 225: From the report given to Mr. Koelle by the Bórnu slave
ʿAlí Eisámi (_African Native Literature_, 1854, p. 93.), it would seem
that Áhmed died before entering Ghasréggomo; but although these
narratives teem with interest, they have no historical authority for the
time which succeeded ʿAlí’s capture in the year 1814-15, and even no
paramount authority for the preceding period. And the other story, as
told in p. 99. _et seqq._, agrees entirely with our statement. The
account of the inroad of Wádáy and the death of Ibrám (both which events
happened in the time of Sheikh ʿOmár), as given by that Negro, is quite
absurd and full of confusion.]
[Footnote 226: It seems almost incredible that, although the members of
the late mission have distinctly stated that Kuka is a new town, yet
even at the present day this place is identified by learned men with
some ancient places having similar names.]
[Footnote 227: The exact date of his death I cannot find at present.]
[Footnote 228: ʿOmár, however, made several other expeditions; one
against Gújeba, which is very famous amongst the inhabitants.]
[Footnote 229: It might be that even before this time the people who
spoke more correctly would call the town Kúkawa; that is, properly,
“bílla kúkawa,” the “town filled with kuka-trees,” and not Kúka, which
is in truth only the name of the tree after which the place was called.]
