His drinking is so serious that he elders are becoming opposed to him. Also he seized an Accra man working on the station for debt, and only after much pressure from the mission accepted repayment from the man from gifts to him from the missionaries to get him out of his difficulties. He refused to accept an arrangement whereby the man worked for the missionaries and paid a regular sum to the king. At the outbreak of the Asante war-scare an Asante who had left his country several years before and was now Strömberg’s servant had been put in the block. Strömberg had written to the Gold Coast Präeses about this with the intention that the government be informed.

The Asantes have strewn branches on the paths they have crossed in Akim as a sign of peace. He found a way from Krobo to Begoro.

The object of his journey was to get masons and sawyers. He was only able to employ one of each, however. 14th March - set out from Odumase (with Zimmermann), reaching the first Akim farms after 8 hours (course roughly NNW). He describes the path as climbing a hill, and once the view had changed from that to the east over the plains to that to the NW over the hills covered with forest he could see smoke rising in several places marking spots where the Akims were making farms. The first night they spent in an Akim hunting and fishing settlement (By the Pompom, the Akim-Krobo boundary). 15th March - Sunday. 16th March - six hours march, now accompanied only by two carriers and a boy, to the hunter's huts called Aduntia. 17th Match - delayed by a thunderstorm, and bad sleep in the forest. 18th March - reached Begoro. Describing the journey generally, he reports that much of the way they travelled by the Bungkrum river, a tributary of the Pompom. The hunters' huts were numerous, and there must be many people in the forest at some times of year. The first 10 hours from the Krobo border was through thin forest, with little shade protection to the traveller. He was highly impressed with the farms around Begoro, writing that you see such a richness in vegetation usually only in alluvial plains like that of the Densu.

Cases offered as occurring recently in Kibi: - A servant of Strömberg's who to employ he had to pay 5 dollars, and shortly after Strömberg was presented with the alternative of paying a further 20 dollar debt or seeing the man pawned. - 20 dollars had to be paid for a debt of the mason who assisted in the building of the second Kibi mission house. So argues that it is impossible to take on wage labour without first paying the debts of the people involved.It appears that inter al he had received instructions from Basel not to pay peoples' debts (this letter is a reply to one from Basel dated 14th March 1863).

The Asante embassy was ordered to Accra by the Colonial Government, tried to escape on the way, but was captured. Two Accra men came to Kibi to take a hostage to Accra as surety of the King of Akim’s loyalty, and to inform him that no ammunition would be sent to him unless he sent an elder with the party to collect it. The Okyenhene agreed straight away to both demands, sending a daughter of one of his sisters as hostage. On the 16th April a messenger arrived with the news that a certain Asante tribe had marched to Kwahu in order to join the Kwahus in an attack on Akim. On hearing the news of the fighting at Akease (this came on the 19th April) the women were sent to Akwapim, and the men went into military order. The missionaries sent some of their valuables to Accra. There were 12 Asantes in the block in Kibi. The first Asante to be killed had been captured in Kukurantumi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.11.1863 Proper date: 01.11.1863 Description An account of the resource Reporting a palaver in the second half of July. About 80 people brought as embassy from the Governor and 3 different Fante kings. Among them were 2 locally born officers, and a local preacher of the Methodist Church in Anomabu called Gyade. For the first few meetings of the palaver the missionaries were present, later they were not requested to attend by the Okyenhene, and so did not, but heard what transpired. Kromer refused to translate a letter from the Government when there was an official interpreter there. The Governor sent a letter which threatened Abuakwa with withdrawal of English protection if peace was not concluded with Kotoku. Ata's initial reaction was protest - and then the statement that he would put the matter in the lands of the –Government to arbitrate. The embassy said that was not something they were interested in - they wanted to know if it was peace or war with Kotoku, and gave Ata 4 days to think it over. Asase spoke in a very coarse and hostile way, and the embassy protested that if he were not silenced they would leave without waiting for an answer whereon the king and his elders apologised for him. In the end the king acceded to all the demands made on him, and swore loyalty to the English by the Thursday god. In many ways the embassy seem to have linked themselves to the mission - Gyade preached in the chapel, and large numbers of the Fante came to Sunday morning service and the Sunday night street preaching, which was held under the very tree where 7 Asantes had been executed, and where there skulls were currently lodged. Kromer also seems to have tried to do his bit to emphasise what he saw as the threat implied by the embassy of a Fante attack advising elders with whom he had conversation that if the embassy was rebuffed then Kibi would be in ruins in 14 days.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.11.1863 Proper date: 03.11.1863 Description An account of the resource Reflects on his having been two years in Africa – his two comrades who journeyed from Basel with him both having died. Among the Kibi catechumens is a man born a house-slave who himself now owns two slaves. He was wounded in the shoulder - a fight early in the year, the missionaries dressed the wound and after conversations he became a catechumen. Eisenschmid is however, hopeful rather than sure of his faith, since he is going to have to give up his two slaves. More particulars about Kukurantumi - the fetish priest has threatened the Christians with death from the fetish. When the chief threateded to send no more children to the school unless a white man came to live in Kukurantumi, Eisenschmid spoke to him about the fact that he was answerable to God for what he did. He remarks that a horse would be very useful in Kibi for travelling around the Akim villages – there would be fodder for it, and since they apparently survive in Asante, why not in Akim? Atta sometimes visits the station in Kibi riding upon one of his men’s shoulders. A Widmann visit to Akim included a trip to Asiakwa where the chief still wants to have a school.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.03.1864 Proper date: 30.03.1864 Description An account of the resource Includes a short section on Kibi. It refers to Abraham Atitsogbe, who bought the slave of an Asante who was killed in the recent fighting between Asante and Akim for 3 dollars. He then made her his wife, with the concurrence of the missionaries, since his proper wife had returned to Osu, and had let him know that she was living with another man. After about 6 months she returned, however, and the husband took her up again apparently on the grounds that she had showed her devotion by travelling so far into the interior to come to him. Mader in aftermath of this situation tried to get the husband hand to slave over to missionary Kromer as a servant, but Atitsogbe proposed instead that in four years the woman should be set quite free, but should in the meantime serve him and his wife - as strangers in Kibi they needed a maidservant. Mader tried to dissuade him from this with threats of exclusion, since it would create a very questionable set-up.
