Crossing back over the Weranhanje spur, I put up with the Arabs at Kufro.

Here, for the first time in this part of the world, I found good English peas growing.

Next day (11th), crossing over a succession of forks, supporters to the main spur, we encamped at Luandalo.

Here we were overtaken by Rozaro, who had remained behind, as I now found, to collect a large number of Wanyambo, whom he called his children, to share with him the gratuitous living these creatures always look out for on a march of this nature.
After working round the end of the great spur whilst following down the crest of a fork, we found Karague separated by a deep valley from the hilly country of Uhaiya, famous for its ivory and coffee productions.
On entering the rich plantain gardens of Kisaho, I was informed we must halt there a day for Maula to join us, as he had been detained by Rumanika, who, wishing to give him a present, had summoned Rozaro's sister to his palace for that purpose.

She was married to another, and had two children by him, but that did not signify, as it was found in time her husband had committed a fault, on account of which it was thought necessary to confiscate all his property.
At this place all the people were in a constant state of inebriety, drinking pombe all day and all night.
