When they lay down to sleep, their servants were called to spread their blankets over their august persons, not forgetting their feet.

This seems to be the duty of the Makololo wife to her husband, and strangers sometimes receive the honour.

A beautiful silvery fish with reddish fins, called Ngwesi, is very abundant in the river; large ones weigh fifteen or twenty pounds each.
Its teeth are exposed, and so arranged that, when they meet, the edges cut a hook like nippers.

The Ngwesi seems to be a very ravenous fish.
