Seyed Burghash succeeds him; this change causes anxiety. Will Seyed Burghash's goodness endure now that he has the Sultanate? Small-pox raged lately at Ujiji. _22nd September, 1871._--Caravan goes northwards, and we rest, and eat the sheep kindly presented. _23rd September, 1871._--We now passed through the country of mixed Barua and Baguha, crossed the River Longumba twice and then came near the great mountain mass on west of Tanganyika.
From Mokwaniwa's to Tanganyika is about ten good marches through open forest.
The Guha people are not very friendly; they know strangers too well to show kindness: like Manyuema, they are also keen traders.
I was sorely knocked up by this march from Nyangwe back to Ujiji.
In the latter part of it, I felt as if dying on my feet.
