Two of their men fell--one killed, one wounded.
They were heard saying their opponents were not Waganda, it were better to leave them alone; and retreated, leaving us, totally uninjured, a clear passage up the river.

But where was Bombay all this while! He did not return till after us, and then, in considerable excitement, he told his tale.

He reached N'yamyongo's village before noon, asked for the officer, but was desired to wait in a hut until the chief should arrive, as he had gone out on business; the villagers inquired, however, why we had robbed the Wanyoro yesterday, for they had laid a complaint against us.

Bombay replied it was no fault of Bana's, he did everything he could to prevent it, and returned all that the boatmen took.
These men then departed, and did not return until evening, when they asked Bombay, impudently, why he was sitting there, as he had received no invitation to spend the night; and unless he walked off soon they would set fire to his hut.

Bombay, without the smallest intention of moving, said he had orders to see N'yamyonjo, and until he did so he would not budge.
