_19th-20th August, 1871._--Rest from weakness. (_21st August, 1871._) Up to the palms on the west of Mount Kanyima Pass. (_22nd August, 1871._) Bambarré. (_28th August, 1871._) Better and thankful. Katomba's party has nearly a thousand frasilahs of ivory, and Mohamad's has 300 frasilahs. _29th August, 1871._--Ill all night, and remain. (_30th August, 1871._) Ditto, ditto; but go on to Monandenda's on River Lombonda. _31st August, 1871._--Up and half over the mountain range, (_1st September, 1871_) and sleep in dense forest, with several fine running streams. _2nd September, 1871._--Over the range, and down on to a marble-capped hill, with a village on top. _3rd September, 1871._--Equinoctial gales. On to Lohombo. _5th September, 1871._--To Kasangangazi's. (_6th September, 1871._) Rest. (_7th September, 1871._) Mamba's. Rest on 8th. (_9th September, 1871._) Ditto ditto. People falsely accused of stealing; but I disproved it to the confusion of the Arabs, who wish to be able to say, "the people of the English steal too." A very rough road from Kasangangazi's hither, and several running rivulets crossed. _10th September, 1871._--Manyuema boy followed us, but I insisted on his father's consent, which was freely given: marching proved too hard for him, however, and in a few days he left. Down into the valley of the Kapemba through beautiful undulating country, and came to village of Amru: this is a common name, and is used as "man," or "comrade," or "mate." _11th September, 1871._--Up a very steep high mountain range, Moloni or Mononi, and down to a village at the bottom on the other side, of a man called Molembu. _12th September, 1871._--Two men sick. Wait, though I am now comparatively sound and well. Dura flour, which we can now procure, helps to strengthen me: it is nearest to wheaten flour; maize meal is called "cold," and not so wholesome as the _Holeus sorghum_ or dura. A lengthy march through a level country, with high mountain ranges on each hand; along that on the left our first path lay, and it was very fatiguing. We came to the Rivulet Kalangai. I had hinted to Mohamad that if he harboured my deserters, it might go hard with him; and he came after me for two marches, and begged me not to think that he did encourage them. They came impudently into the village, and I had to drive them out: I suspected that he had sent them. I explained, and he gave me a goat, which I sent back for. _13th September, 1871._--This march back completely used up the Manyuema boy: he could not speak, or tell what he wanted cooked, when he arrived. I did not see him go back, and felt sorry for the poor boy, who left us by night. People here would sell nothing, so I was glad of the goat. _14th September, 1871._--To Pyanamosindé's. _(15th September, 1871.)_ To Karungamagao's; very fine undulating green country. _(16th and 17th September, 1871.)_ Rest, as we could get food to buy.
