A DESEETEE EECOVEEED.

The range of Kihondo inosculates with Kigambwe, and in 

 the angle formed by their junction are the sources of the Lu- 

 gerengeri River. 



On mustering in camp at Simbo, we found one of the pagazi, 

 Uledi by name, had disapj)eared with his load. I instantly dis- 

 patched live askari in search of him, and in the evening they 

 returned in triumph, having recovered him at Simbaweni, 

 where he had gone, thinking to find a hearty welcome, owing 

 to our having refused to pay mhongo. The queen, Miss Kisa- 

 bengo, however, handed him and his baggage over to the man 

 in charge of the search-party, upon his paying seven doti as 

 a fee. 



I ordered him to be flogged as an example, and the men 

 agreed that the punishment was well deserved, for, on this part 

 of the road, although it was not thought any disgrace to desert, 

 yet it was considered a point of honor that a man should never 

 run away with his load.
