CHAPTER X CONCLUSION 'I "HE march back from Benin to Warrigi was "" uneventful, but slow on account of the wounded. The first night was spent at Awoko, the next day we camped at Cross Roads, and the day following pushed on to Warrigi, where the men embarked in the branch boats, and the Admiral took up his quarters on board the Ivy, which had been put at his disposal by the ConsulGeneral. We here heard of the sad death of Dr. Way from sunstroke. Gradually all the stores were reshipped, and the last of the men embarked, the only casualty being the loss of a marine belonging to the Forte, who fell overboard and was drowned. Captain O'Callaghan had been ordered to remain at Gwato to hold this base until Captain Gallwey arrived there from Benin. Runners were sent first down the road to report on its state, and these reports being satisfactory, two companies of Houssas under Captain Gallwey were sent down to Gwato. The road was quite clear of the enemy, and the villagers friendly, which pieces of news were very reassuring, and pointed to a speedy settling down of the country. The distance of twenty-five miles was accomplished in two days without trouble, the path being very fairly good, and much more used than that to Ologbo. This in future will be used as the main road, being more convenient than any of the others, and communication kept up by water between Gwato, New Benin, and Sapele. Time will show the effect of our possession of Benin. On the trade of the Benin River it cannot fail to be beneficial. The removal of trade Jujus, and increased security to travellers of all sorts, must not only bring the products of the country itself to European markets, but also increase the passage of trade from the interior. Moreover, the capture of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous Benin Bronzes are among the most prized possessions of the British Museum. Celebrated for their great beauty, they embody the history, myth and artistry of the ancient Kingdom of Benin, once the most powerful in West Africa and now part of Nigeria. But despite their renown, little has been written about the brutal act of imperial violence through which the Bronzes were plundered. This incisive new history tells that neglected story: the 1897 British invasion of Benin. Diving into the archives, Blood and Bronze sets the assault on Benin in its late Victorian context. As Britain faced new commercial and strategic pressures on its power elsewhere, it ruthlessly expanded its rule in West Africa. Revealing both the extent of African resistance and previously concealed British outrages, this is a definitive account of the conquest and destruction of Benin. By laying bare the Empire's true motives and its violent means, Paddy Docherty demolishes any moral claim for Britain retaining the Bronzes, and makes a passionate case for their immediate repatriation to Nigeria.
