He has a picture of the Kaiser and his wife in his house. He remarks that it is no good beating school children a lot and claims that parents fear their children in Buem, and sometimes when a child has been heavily punished it hangs itself. - In the Worawora school they have 4 from Woraworao, 4 from the rest of Buem, one each from Akwapim Anum and Krakye, 4 from Adele, and 5 freed slaves. These latter were sent by the colonial government. He remarks that the emancipation of slaves has not yet been proclaimed in Buem, and that slave caravans are said to pass Worawora without making any clear reference to the need for a change in colonial policy.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 16.03.1896 Proper date: 16.03.1896 Description An account of the resource Arriving in Adele at the beginning of February 1896 he discovered that Smallpox had broken out, and the villages were deserted because all the people had fled to their farms. Mischlich himself was able to avert a battle between the Adele people and the Tsantso people: the latter had brought the smallpox into the area, and the Adeles wanted to drive them away but keep their cattle. At a meetinc of the chiefs at Pereu Mischlich was welcomed - they were pleased they were going to be instructed in the Word of God, though they could not give up their fetish-worship. They were eventually persuaded to send one boy to school each - they wanted to send fewer, and see how useful the school was. Mischlich also told them to stop using the Odum ordeal. Nevertheless a few days later a woman took shelter with him after she had been accused of procuring the death of her husband. He argues for a European mission station in the area, partly on the grounds that so many people travel through that it would be a good place to study the languages of the Sudan. Usually caravans passing through Adele rest at Katsenke, the capital. The caravans are mostly composed of Tsantse people, but you also find people from Sugu (Lugu?) Borgu, Dahomey, and even Yoruba there. They are mostly taking sheep and horses to Krakye to exchange for kola nuts.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.06.1896 Proper date: 20.06.1896 Description An account of the resource A letter on the practical economics of Adele. He writes that there is very little food to be bought - a lot of the Adele people themselves earn their living in the rubber trade and there is little surplus. Meat is hard to obtain - you see some cows, but he estimates that there are no more than 15-20 in the whole of the country, and if you want to buy a hen or a sheep or goat, then you can only do this as a great favour on the part of the owner. He reports sheep and horse caravans passing to Krakye 'now and again' from Tsantso and Gurme. To buy provisions not available in Adele you have to travel to Fasogu (2 days) or Tsantso (5 days). There are it seems many hens, cows and sheep in Basari and Bafilo - you can buy butter and cheese on the market there. In that this information may seem detrimental to his case that a European station should be opened in Adele he argues that the food position is no better in Buem, and that in any case he is convinced that they should not retreat from the district. The people are beginning to learn to trust him, and he is especially busy with medical work. Martin in a marginal comment notes that the food position is not all that much worse than in Anum. For a month it has been extremely difficult to get food in Anum because the Ada traders have taken most of it. And if they want a hen they often have to send as much as 3-5 hours away for one. Müller in a subscript notes that the food scarcity is a great change since he was in Buem in 1884, and puts it down to the impact of the rubber trade.

This account is partly printed in Heidenbote 1896 p94-95, as also in Missionsmagazin 1897, p188ff and 249. Additional material: Under his comments for 25th Jun, his arrival at the first Fasogu farming settlement, that not only is it unthinkable to see such farming as is in the Fasogu area in Adele, this reflects the fact that unlike in Adele there will be an appreciable number of people holding 100 slaves, and the biggest farms must need 300 slaves. The Fasogu and still more the Tsahantscho people have wider horizons than the Adeles, who rarely leave their own district, are more au fait and progressive. Under 29th June, from the Fasogu border they met no rhea-butter trees, till they found a few at the village of Kolenggebua. The two Odumase Christians he called Noa and Christian Tei.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.12.1896 Proper date: 20.12.1896 Description An account of the resource Offers two instances of 'rescue operations' in which he had been involved: (a) A woman of Dofoli was returning from Blitta where she had been present at a funeral customs with her children when she was captured by a Blitta man. Her children had been sold away --after she had fled she came to Mischlich for assistance in getting back some of her children. (b) A man of Mangu (8 days to the North of Yendi) named Teaga, the son of an Imam, had twice made the journey from his home to Krakye to trade cows for Kola nuts, On his third journey he had attempted a different route home, and had been robbed by the Dagombas at Yarepanga and sold into slavery. Mischlich introduces him to a German colonial official who gave him a letter certifying his freedom. On the subject of the trade in spirits he advises a complete boycott - if the price is increased it will simply mean that people send their slaves out more to gather rubber.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 12.04.1897 Proper date: 12.04.1897 Description An account of the resource A general report on events in Atwati and Adele. On the capture of the fetish priest of Buruku at Siare by the Germans, Mischlich repeats material already reported to Basel with certain additions: Mischlich himself had been involved in a riot in Siare on an earlier visit when he had argued against the use of the Odum fetish. Buruku had been consulted and his support asked in earlier times by the kings of Asante and Dagombe. In the Salaga civil war the insurgent heir to the throne had asked Buruku's assistance and after his victory had sent a slave in gratitude of the poison from him which had helped him to his success. In Shiringa the priest was confronted with a slave whom he had sent there the day before to be sold. Mischlich reports jubilation in the villages surrounding Adele at the priests' capture - dancing could be heard, and shots being fired, and notables came to congratulate the German Official in charge. (The fetish was captured too). The missionaries used the events as best they could in their preaching, this will open the doors for them in a very important way, because the power of Buruku extended not only over the little groups of Adele, Atwati, Tribu people etc., but also as far as Tagyang, Anyanga, and Tschantscho. The odom ordeal has also been proscribed - not that it will not be carried on in secret, as Mischlich has just heard has happened in Blitta. But it will be on a reduced scale. There are 32 boys in the schools and a number of young men have announced themselves for baptism, including a nephew of Munu the important fetish priestess of Pereu.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 16.09.1897 Proper date: 16.09.1897 Description An account of the resource Reports the death of an Akim merchant in Katsenke died while drunk and everyone believed that he had died because of the drink (liquor). His two wives were there and had shaved their heads. The corpse was wrapped in 'a coloured heathen cloth', with a large silver chain round the neck, and silver coins by its side. Mischlich went round the alleys of the town to invite people to preaching - 'everywhere I met small groups of merchants, singing and lamenting.' At the entrance to the town 4 drunken merchants were dancing around the grave of another merchant who had died several weeks before - though Mischlich spoke to them earnestly they were prepared only to pour away the liquor they had in glasses - not the whole bottle, At his preaching there were 80 merchants present. Mischlich preached - apparently - quite straightforwardly about the danger of hellfire, and the fact that this death was a punishment for not heeding the warnings that he - Martin - had been issuing. There was no contradiction - the elder of the townspeople only said that Mischlich's warnings about liquor were evidently true. It is above all the Akim merchants who bring it - several important chiefs have asked Mischlich to write to the Kaiser to ask him to stop the trade in spirits, but part of the trouble is the fact that the local people coin their own money - 20x3 cm balls of rubber will buy a bottle of liquor.
