Overview

Excerpt from Adventures in Africa: Under the British, Belgian, and Portuguese Flags This exception is the chapter which describes the system of indentured labour in the Portuguese territory of Angola. This system has had in the past, and until radical reforms are effected must continue to exert in the future, a very important influence on the supply of labour for conces sionary companies Operating in Congo territory. Besides having a direct bearing upon the prospects of these companies, the subject of Portuguese indentured labour is one which has aroused general interest abroad, and very special interest in this country, where information at first hand by unprejudiced observers has been eagerly sought. The name of a great Englishman is mentioned frequently - that of Mr. George Grey, whose un timely death left a gap difficult indeed to fill. He was a brother of Sir Edward Grey, the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, and was, for a considerable period, the chief representative of the Tanganyika Concessions in the Congo State, Where his extraordinary energy and abilities were of invaluable service to that company.
