Englifh; and goes as my interpre- 
ter. My terms with him are ten 
bars per month, from the time’ he 
Jeaves Pifania till his return; five 
bars per month to his wife, during 
his abfence ; and, if he accompanies 
me as far as Sego, he is to receive 
the price of two prime flaves on his 
return. — The other is one of Dr. 
Laidley’s own fervants; he has al- 
ways behaved in the moft faithful 
manner; and the Doétor has offer- 
edhim, as a reward for going with 
me, his freedom when he returns. 
A-blackfmith and his fon likewife 
accompany us; they have been 
employed by the Doétor for two 
years, and are now going to their 
Rative town, Jumbo, in the king- 
4lom of Karrta. : 
‘ With this fmall but fele& par- 
ty, I fhall take my departure, to- 
morrow inorning, from Pifania. 
Tt is my intention to travel with as 
nuich expedition as pofible, till I 
have croffed the Senegal, and got 
anto the kingdom of Caffon. I shall 
then think the moft troublefome 
part of this journey is.over, and take 
the firft opportunity of writing to 
tthe Affociation. 
~ * As all my former communica- 
tions have fallen into the hands of 
the French, I fhall here repeat fome 
of the moft material points of in- 
formation contained in them. I 
fhall begin, by enumerating the 
days journies between this and 
Sego, by the northern route, which 
¥ the route commonly ufed by the 
Slatees, and that by which I fhall 
“travel, They are as follow -—From 
‘Pifania, Coota, Cunda, Wooli, 
Color, Tambacunda, Nomataba, 
Jalice, firft town of Bondou; Fit- 
tayeraboy, Cufang, Dibboo, Goo- 
Iemboo, or Galambob, laft town of 
Rendon; Gung-gadi, oa the north- 
ANNUALIREGISTER, 179%. 
ern bank of the Senegal, in the 
{mall kingdom of Cajaga; Kirifna 
ni, firft town of Caflen; Saboo- 
fura, Cooniakari, Soomina, Como- 
roo, Saimpo, the laft town of Caf- 
fon, fituated at the bottom of the 
Banbara mountains; Karruncull: 
Gemmoo, or Kimmoo (for the é 
founds hard) Fangoomba, Dibbong- 
Meiffang, Seco, Karrabejanga, Com- 
ba, Dubbila, laft town of Karrta; 
Pampara, firft of Sego, Nyamoo, 
Glungorrollo, Dampa, Finimarboog 
Scracorro, Fanimboo, Wooloocom- 
boo, Doolinkeeboo, Diggani, Segox 
* Diggani ftands on the northerA 
bank of the Joliba, oppofite.to Se- 
go, which is upon the fouthert 
bank of that river. The Joliba ig 
very broad here, but fo fhallow, 
that people can wade over it ina 
dry feafon; but the king would be 
much offended at any merchant that 
crofled the river in this manners 
for tne old fifhermen are entirely 
fupported by the fmall fares they 
receive for carrying paffengers over 
the river. 
‘ The route from Sego to Genné 
lies along the fouthern bank of Ja- 
liba, by the places mentioned on 
the chart of the Affociation; and 
from Genné they proceed, by wa- 
ter, to Tombuctoo: few of the 
Slatees go farther than Sego, and 
none, I-believe, farther than Gen+ 
né. The only perfon I have yet. 
feen who has. been at Tombuétoo, 
was an old prieft; he reprefents it 
as a very large town; and fays, that, 
Houila is thirty days by land, and 
forty-five by water, to the coaft of 
Tombuétoo ; that the canoes are 
large, and not made of one tree, 
but of many planks put together ¢ 
and, what is more furprifing, that 
ihey are navigated by people as. 
white as l am.
