Légende

The Rising in Sierra Leone: Sulymah, 1898. Sulima, originally a trading post in the nineteenth century, is a town in the extreme south east of Sierra Leone, lying at the mouth of the Moa River. 'The native rebellion in several parts of the Sierra Leone territories becomes more and more alarming...Freetown itself could be defended from attack by the aid of armed boats from the naval squadron; but Kwalu, fifty miles distant, and even Waterloo, connected by a railway of twenty miles with Freetown, being adjacent to the Timini country and inaccessible by the gun-boats, might be in danger.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
