[452] Rebello de Aragão, p. 14, calls him Manuel da Silveira. [453] A Kakulu Kabasa still lives to the north-east of Masanganu, in 9° 4´ S., 14° 9´ E. [454] The territory of a chief of that name is on the upper Mbengu, to the north of Mbaka. The _Catalogo_ calls him Kakulu Kahango. [455] See _Benguella e seu sertão_, 1617-22, by an anonymous writer, published by Luciano Cordeiro in 1881. [456] This bay is known by many aliases, such as S. Maria, S. Antonio, do Sombreiro, and da Torre. [457] The anonymous MS. already cited by us is, however, silent on this subject. [458] Antonio Diniz, who wrote in 1622 (_Producções do Congo e de Angola_, Lisbon, 1881, p. 14), charges Pereira with having sent, without the King’s knowledge, three shiploads of salt to Luandu, which he exchanged for “Farinha de guerra” (Commissariat flour), with which to feed his men. [459] That is a _district_ called Kakonda, for the old fort of that name (Caconda velha), sixty miles from the coast, was only built in 1682. Letters from Pereira, dated September 9th, 1620, and January 23rd, 1621, in _Egerton MS. 1133_ (British Museum), ff. 357-361. [460] I do not know whether oxen were employed as beasts of burthen (_bois cavallos_) in these early days. [461] Reckoning the cruzado at 2_s._ 8_d._ [462] Published by Luciano Cordeiro. [463] Dapper, p. 592, regrets that these exactions ceased on the occupation of the country by the Dutch (not from love of the native, we may be sure), and that, as a consequence, his countrymen were little respected. [464] Antonio Diniz, _Producçoes, commercio e governo do Congo e de Angola_, 1516-19, published by Luciano Cordeiro in 1881. [465] Luiz de Figuerido Falcão, _Livro em que se contem toda a Fazenda_, etc. Lisbon, 1855, p. 26. I reckon 400 reis to a cruzado worth 2_s._ 8_d._ [466] The Capitão-mor do Campo, who was the chief officer next to the Governor, was paid £67; the ouvidor (or judge), £34; the sergeant-major, £34; the principal financial officer (provedor da Fazenda), £27: a captain of infantry, £40; a private, £18. There was a “marcador dos esclavos,” who branded the slaves. He received no pay but levied fees which brought him in £140 a year (see _Estabelecimentos_, p. 21). In 1721 the Governor’s salary was raised to 15,000 cruzados (£2,000), but he was forbidden to engage any longer in trade. [467] Called Nzinga mbandi ngola, or Mbandi Ngola kiluanji, by Cavazzi, pp. 28, 601; Ngola akiluanji by Cadornega; and Nzinga mbandi, King of Ndongo and Matamba, in the _Catalogo_. [468] Called Ngola mbandi by Cavazzi, Cadornega, and in the _Catalogo_; Ngola-nzinga mbandi by Lopes de Lima, _Ensaios_, p. 95. [469] This removal seems to have taken place immediately after the Governor’s arrival. The site chosen was that of the Praça velha of modern maps, to the south of the present Ambaca.
