Large game is very abundant through all this country. The Lofu at the ford was 296 feet, the water flowing briskly over hardened sandstone flag, and from thigh to waist deep; elsewhere it is a little narrower, but not passable except by canoes. _4th and 5th September, 1867._--Went seven hours west of the Lofu to a village called Hara, one of those burned by Hamees because the people would not take a peaceful message to Nsama.
This country is called Itawa, and Hara is one of the districts.

He fell before twenty muskets, and this has caused a panic throughout the country.
