"Buck to Basel"

Includes the point that though the Governor had summoned the Okyenhene and his supporters to Christiansborg on 1st November, he was hoping that the case would be settled peaceably between the parties so that this would not be necessary. The Akropong missionaries had sent Kwabi as their representative to mediate but Ata had refused to entertain him in this role. People fear that Asante has gone too far in opposition to Ata. Some missionaries think all would be solved if the Okyenhene heard that a white missionary was to be stationed in Kibi again, but Buck himself does not think so — he once say the Okyenhene when he came in (the Christiansborg mission compound presumably) to buy something, and reckons he is not a very intelligent chief.
