When we came in sight of a village we sat down under the shade of a tree and sent forward a man to give notice who we were and what were our objects.

The head man of the village then sent out his principal men, as Shinte now did, to bid us welcome and show us a tree under which we might sleep.

Before I had profited by the rather tedious teaching of Manenko, I sometimes entered a village and created unintentional alarm.

The villagers would continue to look upon us with suspicion as long as we remained.

Shinte sent us two large baskets of manioc and six dried fishes.
