I had hinted to Mohamad that if he harboured my deserters, it might go hard with him; and he came after me for two marches, and begged me not to think that he did encourage them.

They came impudently into the village, and I had to drive them out: I suspected that he had sent them.

I explained, and he gave me a goat, which I sent back for.
_13th September, 1871._--This march back completely used up the Manyuema boy: he could not speak, or tell what he wanted cooked, when he arrived.
I did not see him go back, and felt sorry for the poor boy, who left us by night.

People here would sell nothing, so I was glad of the goat.
_14th September, 1871._--To Pyanamosinde's.

_( 15th September, 1871.)_ To Karungamagao's; very fine undulating green country.
