It is well--the men who went with Mr.Stanley came again to me.

"Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name." Amen.
_10th August, 1872._--Sent back the three men who came from the Safari, with 4 dotis and 3 lbs.

of powder.

Called on the Lewale to give the news as a bit of politeness; found that the old chief Nksiwa had been bumped by an ox, and a bruise on the ribs may be serious at his age: this is another delay from the war.

It is only half-heartedly that anyone goes.
[At last this trying suspense was put an end to by the arrival of a troop of fifty-seven men and boys, made up of porters hired by Mr.
Stanley on the coast, and some more Nassick pupils sent from Bombay to join Lieut.Dawson.We find the names of John and Jacob Wainwright amongst the latter on Mr.Stanley's list.
Before we incorporate these new recruits on the muster-roll of Dr.
Livingstone's servants, it seems right to point to five names which alone represented at this time the list of his original followers; these were Susi, Chuma, and Amoda, who joined him in 1864 on the Zambesi, that is eight years previously, and Mabruki and Gardner, Nassick boys hired in 1866.
