REACH EBOE. 93 



two bullocks, ten goats, and six hundred yams, 

 for which, like all the rest of the kings who have 

 made us presents, he will, I presume, receive 

 double their value in return. 



Having completed our supply of wood, we 

 got under weigh at six p.m. having a fine moon- 

 light night before us ; but getting into shoal 

 water, we came to an anchor again at ten, about 

 five miles below Eboe, while the Alburkah pro- 

 ceeded. Shortly afterwards Captain Hill came 

 on board the Quorra, saying that they had found 

 deeper water on the left bank of the river, and 

 that the Alburkah had come to an anchor oflp the 

 town. At six on the following morning we got 

 under weigh, and in half an hour joined her at 

 the entrance of the creek that leads up to the 

 town.
