CHAPTER VI
10/68

Pleurisy is common from cold winds from N.W.
Twenty-two men with large square black shields, capable of completely hiding the whole person, came next in a trot to receive the body of their relative and all her gear to carry her to her own home for burial: about twenty women followed them, and the men waited under the trees till they should have wound the body up and wept over her.

They smeared their bodies with clay, and their faces with soot.

Reached our friend Kama.
_27th July, 1871._--Left Kama's group of villages and went through many others before we reached Kasongo's, and were welcomed by all the Arabs of the camp at this place.

Bought two milk goats reasonably, and rest over Sunday.

(_28th and 29th_).
