At two villages the people did not want us, so we went on and encamped near a third, Kabwakwa, where a son of Mohamad bin Saleh, with a number of Wanyamwesi, lives.

The chief of this part is Muabo, but we did not see him: the people brought plenty of food for us to buy.

The youth's father is at Casembe's.

The country-people were very much given to falsehood--every place inquired for was near--ivory abundant--provisions of all sorts cheap and plenty.

Our headmen trusted to these statements of this young man rather, and he led them to desist going further.
