We soon afterward got a zebra, and gave our hunting acquaintances such a liberal share that we soon became friends.

All whom we saw that day then came with us to the encampment to beg a little meat; and as they have so little salt, I have no doubt they felt grateful for what we gave.
Sekelenke and his people, twenty-four in number, defiled past our camp carrying large bundles of dried elephants' meat.

Most of them came to say good-by, and Sekelenke himself sent to say that he had gone to visit a wife living in the village of Manenko.

It was a mere African manoeuvre to gain information, and not commit himself to either one line of action or another with respect to our visit.

As he was probably in the party before us, I replied that it was all right, and when my people came up from Masiko I would go to my wife too.
