Our appearance has caused them some alarm. This is the place where the mate of an American vessel was harpooned, some months since, by the Fishmen. We shall hold a palaver about it, when the Commodore joins us. We left Sinoe at 7 o'clock, P.M. Mr. Morris has been narrating the circumstances of the murder of the American mate, at Sinoe, in reference to which we are to "set a palaver."
Sawyer Objections to the Marriage of Missionaries A Centipede Arrival at Cape Palmas Rescue of the Sassy Wood-Drinker Hostilities between the Natives and Colonists. November 27. At Sinoe. The settlement here is in a poor condition. The inhabitants are apparently more ignorant and lazy than the colonists on any other part of the coast. Yet they have a beautiful and fertile situation.
It is remarkable, too, that one of the chiefs at Sinoe not only had a strong personal resemblance to the same distinguished statesman being, as it were, his image in ebony, or bronze but, while not speaking, moved constantly about the palaver-house, as is Mr. Clay's habit in the senate-chamber.

It seems, that the land originally belonged to the Sinoe tribe, whose head-quarters are four miles inland.
About the time of discharging him, we discovered that he was a native of North Carolina, had resided many years in Liberia, but, being idle and vicious, had finally given up the civilized for the savage state. His real name was Elijah Park; his assumed one, William Henry. Palaver at Sinoe Ejectment of a Horde of Fishmen Palaver at Settra Kroo Mrs.
Anchored at Sinoe at noon. Ashore. Visited Fishtown, a well-built native village, containing probably four hundred inhabitants. It is within about two hundred yards of the colonial dwellings. The people are said to have committed many depredations upon the colonists; and there is an evident intention of driving them off. This is the tribe with which we are to hold a palaver.
This vantage-ground he skilfully made use of, yet not without its being perceived, by the native politicians, that the question of expelling the Fishmen was essentially distinct from that of the murder of Captain Burke's seamen. Davis the interpreter, and one of the headmen of the Sinoe tribe, inquired why the Commodore did not first talk his palaver, and then the Governor in turn talk his.
