They pursue systems in direct opposition to Christian missionaries. Besides propagating their religion with the sword, they work upon the super- stition of the heathen by making charms, which they sell to them to confide in like their own idolatrous fetishes or greegrees. These charms, which are writings of words or sentences in Arabic from the Koran, are made to suit almost all occasions, and the superstitious wishes of the people. I may mention some, as follows : — Protective charms. These ar...e made to protect against every danger, at home or abroad, against sickness, witchcraft, an evil eye ; but especially when they go to war or on kidnapping expe- ditions, to ward ott' arrows or gunshot, and to make 35 blunt the edge of the sword if the}'- come to close contact with their antagonists in battle. — Vanishing charms. These are issued to a warrior or kidnapper, that he might disappear and vanish away when he is in danger of being caught himself in his slave- hunting raid. — Successful charms.
