He gives the objective of his journey surveying the district in order to find a suitable place for a European Mission station to serve the Krakye-Buem-Adele area. Explaining that in the area of this particular journey Twi could be used widely Mischlich lists the Twi-speakeing places as Worawora, Apeso, Asafo, Tapa in Buem, Akroso, Apaso, Abenkro, Tuntum in Krakye, and Dodo and Adumadum in- Tribu. The trek was undertaken by a party of 5 including one of the Worawora teachers. On the first day they reached the Asuokoko, where their preaching received a friendly reception, and the chief promised to send children to the school in Worawora. There was a lot of fish poisoning going on in the Asuokoko (he describes the technique in the same way as it is described in Kwahu letters, and the plant involved is the same - efwe). There were settlements of Buems along the Asuokoko, and Krakyes along the Oti, the main occupations on both rivers being fish-poisoning and hunting. Kete - you meet here Africans from the Tsandwolands, Dagomba Grusi, Nossi, Borgu, Gurma, and even Timbuktu. Its population may usually be in the region of 5,000 - but with the constant shifting population (perhaps only 2000 people are actually permanent residents) it may fluctuate from 2,000 to 10,000. The market is held daily. He saw donkeys there, and on sale in the market salt, beads of all colours, agate, European and local cloth (the latter of far better quality), nails, tread, knives, leaf tobacco, yam tubers, cassava, heaps of all kinds and colours of bananas and plantains, peppers, onions, tomatoes, mutton, beaf, and goat-flesh, dried and smoked fish, maize, millet, palm-oil and palm-kernels, shea-butter, palm wine, local beer, beautiful raffia work in various colours, kola nuts from Ateobu. Previously in the middle of the market had been a group of clay huts from which the representatives of Dente had ruled the market, but these were destroyed at the same time that Dr Grün had the priest of Dente executed. Travelling around Krakye he saw one slave being badly beaten for attempting to run away, and remarks that since freedom is available many slaves run away, especially since many are treated harshly. He remarks that it is a precious gift being born free in a Christian country. Krakye town he feels should be established as a station for a mission agent - Kete looks like becoming a second Kpong or Akuse, and merchants know enough to value schooling.

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: 01.08.1895 Proper date: 01.08.1895 Description An account of the resource The journeys took place in April-May and June-July. Remarks that Tongo must have been a big town before the Asantes took its population - who thought they were allies of the Asantes - off to Kumasi. On the old site of Tongo is only a farm and three or four poor huts. There is a new Tongo, but still not very populous. In Botoku itself he finds the people already know a lot of the Christian teachings. Their response to his preaching was that without a teacher they cannot go forward - whereon Martin asked them why they were not sending their children to the school in Vakpo. He contrasts his reception in the two Botoku villages Akokome (good) and Adadentam (indifferent if not hostile). In the latter he has seen a man making figurines which he claimed would protect their farms. Sirikpo and its subject village Dota - they were well received, and the linguist in Sirikpo repeated the point that they had wanted a teacher and not received one. Martin repeated his point about the availability of Vakpo. Martin writes about Vakpo. The town seemed unwilling to accept the German flag, and Okyere, the teacher, had actually been threatened secretly in words and in act-by the rich man of the village Dabanka Kwame, to whom Martin reckons the local chief was in debt. Kwame had said that if the Germans came to Vakpo it would be Okyere's fault. The opposition was not deep-rooted or confident - a later piece of information Martin gives is that the Vakpo people heard that the Germans were fighting the Tafis (Avatimes) and sent his army to help them. From the missionaries' point of view the key event was a palaver which happened on evening in the mission house, gearing that Dabanka Kwame had threatened teacher Okyere. Martin demanded that he visit him the same evening. A large group arrived, including the chief, and started to talk Ewe. Martin broke into this repeatedly and said that he was going to speak only to Dabanka Kwame, the others could stay if they liked but he would not attend to them at all. He then found Dabanka Kwame guilty that on the grounds that he had offered Okyere a pacification of a sheep, because there were witnesses to his preparations to ambush Okyere, and because Dabanka Kwame had come to the meeting with such a large number and they had tried diversionary tactics (Dabanka Kwame had himself said that this was because he was afraid.) Nevertheless Martin said they would trouble no more about the business they were Christians and believed in peace, though this was on the condition that no-one was in -future deterred from going to school or services (an elderly female attached to the chief’s household had wanted to become a Christian but had suffered from the chief's interference). This condition to be enforced by Okyere’s reporting such events to Anum and the missionaries taking them up with the German officials at Agome. Furthermore the German government itself had given the missionaries permission to open schools, so they no longer needed to work with the permission of the chiefs. Martin reckoned the Vakpo villages were all more or less closd to listening to their religious message or to their explanations about the value of schools; only in Bohome did he have a large crowd of attentive hearers. In the latter the Ramseyer’s old nurse was a member of the congregation, but she stands very much to one side, and only comes to preaching when a European is present. She claims she has taken off her amulets and is coming, but it is a very slow process. Martin’s description .of the Christians in Bume is fuller than, any other so far. The heads of the Christian families are called Joseph, Daniel, Isaac, William and Johannes. At Huvhe, on Martin’s first visit there, there was difficulty because of a case between the chief of the Bume villages and a baptismal candidate, but otherwise he was always well-received in the non-Christian Bume villages. As indeed in the whole of Amfoi, and in this respect he names especially Wuromahai and Afobu. In Sofievhe (Okyerefo) the people said they would become Christians (After Martin had preached on their being slaves to sin and in need of redemption) - of course he realised after the excitement that they would lack the power to break away, fearing to be the first. In Kpando the congregation is going forward steadily, and Christians hurry to move onto the mission station after they have joined the church. The Kpando chief actually came to the station to greet-Martin which he remarks is a great change from the time of his first visits in 1891 when he and Hall went to see him on the case of a woman who had been mishandled by him and put in the block. In the villages around Kpando also there was a significant response in Asiavhe when.Martin asked who would serve the true God 10 men and youths stood up, and later a young woman told him she had been attending the services in Kpando regularly. In Gagya, (where there was at least one catechumen) a thirty year old man told them he wanted to go to school- serving the fetishes was an empty exercise - so he would go to Kpando to have his name written down. They were also pressed very strongly to preach in the village of Aban (Abau?) when they did not want to because of the heat. And in another Kpando village Martin met a husband and wife who were going to announce themselves as catechumens, and after talking to the wife Martin writes that he could see she was yet another example of the way the heathen world drives people into the arms of the mission. In Nkonya they had few hearers at Ntwumuru, Kagyabi and Tayi. From Tayi they went by a secret way (cut by the Nkonyas when they thought the Germans were going to attack them) to Wurupon (The people of Tepo were later by no means pleased that a European had found their secret way). In Wurupon they preached to the largest assembly Martin had ever seen in Africa. There were more than two catechumens in Wurupon - two had only recently announced themselves, coming to Hall in Ntwumuru to be taken on as catechumens, and allowing him to cut off their amulets. In Ntwumuru they had two slaves as converts one called Bentoa was already free, the other was his wife, still a slave of an Ntwumuru man. She was called Akua Mmorowa, and could speak no Twi and little Nkonya having been in the district for less than a year. Martin advised her through her husband’s interpreting to work hard, and to attend the daily worship - which Martin was pleased to find later that she had been doing. Her master on finding that she was becoming a Christian had tried to sell her in Alavanyo, but a Christian had seen her there, helped her to get back to the mission station in Ntwumuru, and then faced the threats of the deprived master with the counter-threat that he would be reported to the German colonial regime. In Alavanyo they were well received - in Evhudidi they found a case in process over a young man who had been to Misahohoe and received a letter stating he was a free man in view of the recent Togo Government regulations concerning slavery. The case was settled by Hall (according to Martin that is) who was able to inform the chief and people over the terms of the new laws, and thus frustrate the ex-master from claiming and getting compensation. The thief there, pressed strongly for a teacher for his own people – Martin promised that he would get one, though could not forecast when. Zogbedsi, however, is in contact with the Catholic mission in Lome. Martin lists the Nkonya baptismal candidates as 5 from Wurupon, 5 from Alavnayo and 3 from Ntwumuru, though none of the latter are natives of that place, which, indeed, seeks to be 'dead’. In the four Atawronu villages they were asked for a teacher – though in Agbesia there was a lot of argument when they were preaching. Davigba and Beme are two of the most beautiful villages that Martin had seen on the Gold Coast. He has visited the Tweme villages Atigbota, Avigome, Gyangena, Komfa. The people are Ewes, but both sexes understand Twi. In Atigbota they were very pleased to have a European staying with them at last. In the last named they found a whole village drunk after a funeral custom. The Akhatei villages are no more than hamlets except for Beme. Owisutra he reckons at 11 villages - there.is a demand for teachers there too. Every time he asked why the people of the area spoke such good Twi they told him that they learned it as prisoners of war in Kumasi. In the report is some indication of the content of Martin’s preaching. In one case (the village on the site of old Tongo) he was offered a text by lady who offered her daughter in marriage to him - his approach to her was two pronged, talking firstly about his 'family' in the mission house at Anum, people who loved him because he loved them, and secondly to describe the relation between himself and his wife - including a stress on their common purse out of which she can take money for new clothes whenever she wants. In Tongo itself there were interruptions and arguments - he never troubles to preach in a place where that happens - the people are not serious and consistent. In one of the Sohai villages he was given his text by a man who told him that it was the shade-tree under which they were sitting who had brought the people back from their Asante captivity. In Adadaentam (Botoku) he had straightforwardly told the man who had said that the figure that he was carving would protect crops that he was a lyer. In Sirikpo he used the people’s interest in his European possessions to preach about the European’s conviction that they could not take their possessions with them after_death. In Wurupon be persisted many times with the question (to the priest of Sia) whether or not he was happy, and evidently he was in some places at least preaching to the evangelical question, and asking those who wanted to serve the true God to stand up.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.09.1895 Proper date: 30.09.1895 Description An account of the resource He advises that Akabu and Akposo must be regarded as Bremen areas - it is impossible to work in that district with Twi. Eliminating alternative sites to Adele for a new station for European missionaries he advises that Buem is too far south, and Krakye unsuitable because of climate, cost of food, and lack of building materials (not because of the opposition of the chief and priest of Dente - this is irrelevant now the district is a colonial territory). He also cites a reference as setting out views against a near placing of a European mission station and a European colonial officials' centre with which most people agree. In Adele a station could be built in the neighbourhood of Ketsenke (303 huts therefore c900 inhabitants, and 600m above sea level). Alternatively there is the site near Bismarckburg, 710m high, with villages within 1/2 hours walk in three different directions - Tege Kwankwa - Odome and Ketsenke. Christaller's suggestions of Pereu and Odadeasa are not suitable the first as the seat of the chief fetish, the second as it is on the plains. The house should have three rooms for a married missionary pair and one room for a missionary bachelor, be built of clay and roofed with dorrugated iron (perhaps brought in from Krakye) since building wood is scarce and there is no wood for shingles. A middle school should be contemplated, teaching the German language, and making this part of the mission self-sufficient in terms of recruitment of local staff. The Basel Mission local agents from the English Gold Coast will naturally not want to stay in German territory long, nor have their children brought up where English is not spoken taught. Pastor Hall is an example of this - he is hoping for a transfer to his home area. Adele would also be a good starting point for missionary journeys into the non-Twi speaking areas further north – Salaga-Yendi (i.e. Dagomba) though this is closed currently, and towards Tsantso, where the Timu language is spoken by 1/2 million people. The German Colonial Government are willing to hand over the Bismarckburg settlement, and Mischlich proposes to settle it with a teacher at the beginning of the dry season - he presses the mission to act on his recommendations. Finally he quotes an article in the “Deutsches Kolonialblatt” 15 July 1895 p 356 encouraging the Basel Mission by name to move forward into the area he has been considering. Over Krakye he makes the suggestion that Clerk should be moved there - the Catholics have their eye on the district. He makes another reference to the “Calwer Missions Blatt” No 7 from July 1895. Missionary Härter wrote there about marriage problems at Keta, the only reference to Europeans being the problem of handling marriage situations in which European merchants were involved.

Buem is also well-peopled, and one can look forward to having 6 or 7 outstations in due time. It would be impossible to maintain anything like detailed control of the area from Adele. Furterwore, each of the areas like Vakpo, Anfoi, Kpandu and Nkonya already settled in German areas are as populated as Adele - it makes more sense in view of this to contemplate setting up a middle school in Buem than Adele. It is evident the perspectives are quite different, Mischlich being consumed with interest in the Sudan proper, Rösler and Martin in Anum seeing things from another point of view.

They are politically under Buem, though they are a tribe in themselves, with their own language, and also speak Ewe more readily than Twi. Clerk found there two Christians - one recently arrived had been baptised in Cape Coast. Another named Okra had recently inherited a not inconsiderable amount after his father's deaths, had earlier worked for Dr. Fisch, and had been working for Dr. Hey until his discharge. He had already started to carry out Sunday street preaching. Clerk says 6 of the 7 Yiripe villages grouped closely together, the biggest Male and Kumasi. The people listened to him attentively, since for most it was the first time they had heard the Christian message. They did not make an especially good impression, however - they could be more welcoming to strangers. They are heavily engaged in trading, bringing in spirits and gunpowder from the coast, but have not gained much in cultural terms from this contact - their houses are built of clay, with clay plastered roofs. His return journey took him through Lolobi (Between Yiripe and Akpao) - the people were very friendly there – Beyika, Tetman, Borada, Gyasekan. In Borada the request for a teacher was repeated. In Gyasekan on his outward journey he had baptised a sick Akim man who had in fact been a house servant of Süss, been taken away by his parents but in his last illness wanted baptism. He died the day Clerk returned to Gyasekan. In Worawora 2 Christians have been excluded after 'falling’ but have been replaced by two who have returned baptised from Cape Coast. One feature of his visit to Yiripe was finding people who proclaimed they believed in one God, not the fetishes, and who were selling the amulets of their new faith - the pieces of paper enclosed in the amulets had crude drawings on them.

Partly because of cost (a bottle a day would cost 425 Marks each year simply to carry to Adele), partly because their attempt to stop Christians drinking spirits will be in vain until, like the English missionaries, they foreswear alcohol almost altogether, and partly because it would be healthier.

Additional points in the manuscript: Bowi, the old priest of Atie Yaw was still alive in Accra. The new priest was from Nteso, a village near Tafo. Although Asante, the Nkwatiahene sent him a present, he would not have the revived cult resident in his town. The Abetifi chief, Kwame Ado, himself gave the order for people to stay indoors at night during the visit of Atie Yaw. The 'fetish', now known by his right name Kofi Siri, had become a catechumen. A second fetish priest, this time from Abetifi (Ape, his fetish being called Fofie) had recently been deposed by ‘the people of his quarter' and persistently demanded to be accepted as a catechumen, and indeed in time had been so accepted.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 18.02.1896 Proper date: 18.02.1896 Description An account of the resource There are 112 pupils in the school, 57 of them boarding boys, 30 of those heathen. There had been changes in the teaching personnel - Preko was posted to Tafo, and replaced by Monitor Wm Asare. Benj Martinson went to Nkwatia after D. Okyere's death. Dan. Kumi will take over as boarding master when he has completed his exams in Akropong. The main complaint made against the teachers is that they are not consistent about order and tidiness - and more basically, that they do not see that bringing up is more than simply school work. A number of portraits of the year’s problems and successes are offered. One Nathan. Dankyi has organised a plot among the members of the two highest classes not to take the pupils' quarrels before the teacher, after the departure of Benj Martinson. Discovered he ran away to escape punishment, was brought back by his uncle and accepted only on the condition that he accepted corporal punishment before the school. A class IV boy called Yaw Kese had written encouraging two of his friends who had recently been thrown out of the Begoro Middle School for sexual offences by saying that there were plenty of jobs in Cape Coast, and that – quoting Amos - everything that happened came from God. One boy Kwakye, who had achieved Class IV after arriving in the school only in 1893 is offered as an example of success. A quiet and modest character from the beginning, he had become more frank and friendly in the course of his time at school. Another, Paulo Ano had been a problem pupil until in Class V under Haasis' teaching hey had both discovered he was excellent at mental arithmetic, since which his morale and behaviour had much improved. The school’s coffee plantation was proving unrewarding, being on stony soil, and Hassis is planning another - it is half planted already. The pupils are kept in the boarding school free of charge.
