"Schopf's Subscript to Mohr's Comment"

He considers that Abokobi is only one of a dozen villages inland from Accra (up to 4-5 hours) which are peopled by Gruschi, Moshi, Kasemi, Dagbama, Esase, Fulali and Tsana. These are all escaped slaves. Most claim to have escaped from Asante by way of Fante and come to the Accra area. They know they are under English protection. The Basel Mission outstation at Apenkwa is such a village, most of the members of the community are from the above named tribes, and in part they are sturdy Christians. There are also such people in the little community in Anya and Legon. They farm land that belongs to King Tackle – Schopf does not know on what basis they hold the land, and wonders if there might not be a role for buying of more land, especially at Apenkwa where the community has been growing steadily and the mission land is not big enough to be farmed.
