The Last Journals of David Livingstone, in Central Africa, from 1865 to His Death, Volume II (of 2), 1869-1873

CHAPTER V
4/44

Heartrending scene.

Death on land and in the river.
Tagamoio's assassinations.

Continued slaughter across the river.
Livingstone becomes desponding.
_1st April, 1871._--The banks are well peopled, but one must see the gathering at the market, of about 3000, chiefly women, to judge of their numbers.

They hold market one day, and then omit attendance here for three days, going to other markets at other points in the intervals.

It is a great institution in Manyuema: numbers seem to inspire confidence, and they enforce justice for each other.
