CHAPTER VI
26/68

People falsely accused of stealing; but I disproved it to the confusion of the Arabs, who wish to be able to say, "the people of the English steal too." A very rough road from Kasangangazi's hither, and several running rivulets crossed.
_10th September, 1871._--Manyuema boy followed us, but I insisted on his father's consent, which was freely given: marching proved too hard for him, however, and in a few days he left.
Down into the valley of the Kapemba through beautiful undulating country, and came to village of Amru: this is a common name, and is used as "man," or "comrade," or "mate." _11th September, 1871._--Up a very steep high mountain range, Moloni or Mononi, and down to a village at the bottom on the other side, of a man called Molembu.
_12th September, 1871._--Two men sick.

Wait, though I am now comparatively sound and well.

Dura flour, which we can now procure, helps to strengthen me: it is nearest to wheaten flour; maize meal is called "cold," and not so wholesome as the _Holeus sorghum_ or dura.

A lengthy march through a level country, with high mountain ranges on each hand; along that on the left our first path lay, and it was very fatiguing.

We came to the Rivulet Kalangai.
