The elephants had come into the village and gone all about it, and to prevent their opening the corn safes the people had bedaubed them with elephant's droppings.

When a cow would not give milk, save to its calf, a like device was used at Kolobeng; the cow's droppings were smeared on the teats, and the calf was too much disgusted to suck: the cow then ran till she was distressed by the milk fever and was willing to be relieved by the herdsman.
_12th and 13th May, 1867._--News that the Arabs had been fighting with Nsama came, but this made us rather anxious to get northward along Liemba, and we made for Mokambola's village near the edge of the precipice which overhangs the Lake.

Many Shuare Raphia palms grow in the river which flows past it.
As we began our descent we saw the Lofu coming from the west and entering Liemba.

A projection of Liemba comes to meet it, and then it is said to go away to the north or north-west as far as my informants knew.

Some pointed due north, others north-west, so probably its true course amounts to N.N.W.We came to a village about 2' W.of the confluence, whose headman was affable and generous.
