They often continued all night, then became heavier about an hour before dawn.

Or if fair during the night, as day drew nigh, an extremely heavy, still, pouring rain set in without warning.

Five out of every six days we had this pouring rain, at or near break of day, for months together; and it soon beat my tent so thin, that a mist fell through on my face and made every thing damp.
The rains were occasionally, but not always, accompanied with very loud thunder.
FEBRUARY 1ST.

This day we had a fine view of two hills called Piri (Peeri), meaning "two", on the side of the river we had left.

The country there is named Mokwankwa.
