DescriptionThe destructive raid on the slavers has done the mission more harm than the slave trade by arousing native hostility, as shown in the firing of the Bashia house and the Canoffee schoolhouse. When funds ran out the angry natives said they were being boycotted. They wrecked the settlement plantation and Munkge Bake disclaimed responsibility. They are badly in need of supplies but are well.
