We spent the 26th in searching for them, but all in vain.

Kavimba had a boy carrying two huge elephant spears, with these he attacks that large animal single-handed.

We parted from him, as I thought, good friends, but a man who volunteered to act as guide saw him in the forest afterwards, and was counselled by him to leave us as we should not pay him.

This hovering near us after we parted makes me suspect Kavimba of taking the goats, but I am not certain.

The loss affected me more than I could have imagined.
