Mackay the missionary, who is kept as a kind of hostage by the king, writes on June 26, 1886, in reference to this despot, "Again and again he has expressed his deterimination not to let us leave, being guilty in his conscience, and constantly alarmed by rumors from the east, partly arising from Dr. Fischer's journey that way, and partly from reports of the presence of what we think must be the main body of Bishop Hannington's caravan. . ..
