Abomey

Behanzin set fire to Abomey (entered by the French troops on the 17th of November) and fled north.

During nine months of the year the climate is tempered by a sea-breeze, which is felt as far inland as Abomey 735 (60 m.).

Da was, two hundred and fifty years ago, the king of the city of Abomey.

On the sixth the sacrifice was over:—the divinity was appeased, and quiet reigned again in the streets of Abomey.
