These marauders have changed their tactics, for they demand so many people, and so many cloths, and then leave.

They made it known that their next scene of mulcting would be Mombo's village, and there they took twelve people--four slaves, and many cloths, then went south to the hills they inhabit.

A strict watch was kept on their movements by our headman and his men.

They trust to fleeing into a thicket on the west of the village should the Mazitu come.
I have been informed on good authority that Kasonso was on his way to us when news arrived that his young son had died.

He had sent on beer and provisions for us, but the Mazitu intervening they were consumed.
The Mazitu having left we departed and slept half-way up the ridge.
