( ienlOfl of human slavery tried to fasten
itself upon them. Though most of tileni
wore from sinyo states. they nmet and overcame -
came the monster , and hurled it from them ,
banIshing it forever. A few years later ,
when borne tiown and ovtrwhmelmed with

being able to extricate themselves seemed
gone , the siren of repudiation , as she has
successfully done elsewhere , beckoned them
to follow her for relief. They Indignantly
