We had a long visit from Mtarika next day; he gave us meal, and meat of wild hog, with a salad made of bean-leaves.

A wretched Swaheli Arab, ill with rheumatism, came for aid, and got a cloth.

They all profess to me to be buying ivory only.
_5th July, 1866._--We left for Mtende, who is the last chief before we enter on a good eight days' march to Mataka's; we might have gone to Kandulo's, who is near the Rovuma, and more to the north, but all are so well supplied with everything by slave-traders that we have difficulty in getting provisions at all.

Mataka has plenty of all kinds of food.

On the way we passed the burnt bones of a person Avho was accused of having eaten human flesh; he had been poisoned, or, as they said, killed by poison (muave ?), and then burned.
