A fear which I could not define caused me to press forward as fast as possible; for the last twenty-four hours I have scarcely stopped to eat or sleep.

When I got into the Mazitu country this morning I found the kraals empty, except for some women and girls, who knew me again, and threw these flowers over me.

They told me that all the men had gone to Beza Town for a great feast, but what the feast was they either did not know or would not reveal.

So I hurried on and arrived in time--thank God in time! It is a long story; I will tell you the details afterwards.

Now we are all too tired.
