1814.] Account of the Death of Mr. Mungo ParJi. 377 



no evil now, but did so once, because you conducted white men to 

 Sego, and never passed here to let me have something from them, 

 while every body shared the white men's generosities. 1 took my 

 leave of him, and went to Checouray, Chaman's village, where I 

 found my family and things about the evening. Staid there two 

 days ; Chaman hilled a bullock ; gave him one pagne worth two 

 pieces baft, one bottle powder, 20 flints, one bar scarlet ; departed 

 in the evening ; stopped at Checouray Sambabile, Chainan's other 

 brother (the two villages bearing the same name). Sambabile gave 

 me some corn and one sheep; gave him one blue pagne, one stripe 

 ditto, one bottle powder, 20 flints, one bar scarlet, which pagnes I 

 got on the sale of three slaves I sold to help me in my expenses; 

 staid there two days, and departed. 



In the morning arrived at twelve a. m. at Tiallacorro, where 

 resided Madifoulane, the King's son, to whom I had given half a 

 piece fine cotton and two grains amber. He gave me some corn. 

 Madimariam Marabout killed me a bullock ; gave the Marabout 

 one bottle powder. Next morning started from thence ; passed 

 three villages ; arrived at three p. m. at Col La ; received cooked 

 victuals froni the village ; gave two flints. Next morning, Wed- 

 nesday, departed, and arrived at twelve a. m. at Amadifatouma- 

 bougou, the last village belonging to the King Tiguicoroba, six 

 moons after my departure from Senegal ; bought there an ass. 

 Having before me a great forest to go through, and uncertain of the 

 right road, 1 hired four men to conduct me ; departed next morn- 

 ing, and crossed a small river near the village, being in the forest 

 at noon ; came to a large muddy pond, where the hogs could not 

 cross over. The guides showed me a better road, which enabled us 

 to pass safely. At about two p. m. stopped awhile, where had been 

 formerly a village ; after sun-set found in our way a large turtle, 

 which we killed, and passed there the night. Departed next morn- 

 ing; passed at about ten a. in. atSarini, a destroyed village; stopped 

 there awhile ; the four men left me to return home, being afraid of 

 going further ; gave them half a bottle powder and ten flints. Being 

 uncertain of my ways, and being displeased with their proceeding, 

 I said 1 would sooner go back than be left alone in such a forest. 

 They told me to follow the way they showed me, straight along, 

 and not turn on the right or left ; that 1 should soon find a village 

 inhabited. 



1 then went on, and found on my way the road the King of 

 Sego's army had taken nine years ago; further on found a small 

 spot with water : being very thirsty, spent there part of the day; 

 further on found a large pond; stopped there under a tree, and slept 

 there. Started early ; arrived at noon at the lakes of C hinoharc 

 and Tii in, which are nev< i dry, where the King's army always stops 

 ike water after dinner. Departed] and arrived about five p. m. 

 re another lake. Went on, came to Giangounte after sun-set, 

 aid stopped there five days, on account of one of my people being 

 vick; received first night a little provisions; next day they killed me
