_( 16th and 17th September, 1871.)_ Rest, as we could get food to buy.
_( 18th September, 1871.)_ To a stockaded village, where the people ordered us to leave.

We complied, and went out half a mile and built our sheds in the forest: I like sheds in the forest much better than huts in the villages, for we have no mice or vermin, and incur no obligation.
_19th September, 1871._--Found that Barua are destroying all the Manyuema villages not stockaded.
_20th September, 1871._--We came to Kunda's on the River Katemba, through great plantations of cassava, and then to a woman chief's, and now regularly built our own huts apart from the villages, near the hot fountain called Kabila which is about blood-heat, and flows across the path.

Crossing this we came to Mokwaniwa's, on the River Gombeze, and met a caravan, under Nassur Masudi, of 200 guns.

He presented a fine sheep, and reported that Seyed Majid was dead--he had been ailing and fell from some part of his new house at Darsalam, and in three days afterwards expired.

He was a true and warm friend to me and did all he could to aid me with his subjects, giving me two Sultan's letters for the purpose.
