The next day's journey may be taken as a specimen of the hardships every one had to endure:--] _9th January, 1873._--Mosumba of Chungu.

After an hour we crossed the rivulet and sponge of Nkulumuna, 100 feet of rivulet and 200 yards of flood, besides some 200 yards of sponge full and running off; we then, after another hour, crossed the large rivulet Lopopozi by a bridge which was 45 feet long, and showed the deep water; then 100 yards of flood thigh deep, and 200 or 300 yards of sponge.

After this we crossed two rills called Linkanda and their sponges, the rills in flood 10 or 12 feet broad and thigh deep.

After crossing the last we came near the Mosumba, and received a message to build our sheds in the forest, which we did.
Chungu knows what a nuisance a Safari (caravan) makes itself.

Cloudy day, and at noon heavy rain from N.W.The headman on receiving two cloths said he would converse about our food and show it to-morrow.
