40 FOFO. — PRESENTS OF COWRIES. 



in some parts of this day's course had been two 

 thousand, or two thousand five hundred yards 

 wide. Mr. Lander and myself felt ourselves un- 

 well to-day. At 3. 5 p. m. anchored off a second 

 town, named Little Fofo. 



The brother of the woman who had been 

 under my care came on board here, and insisted 

 on my accepting five thousand cowries for my 

 care of his sister, at the same time taking her 

 home with him to the Kacundah country, being 

 afraid to trust her with the Felatahs : — it afford- 

 ed me great satisfaction to find that the vision 

 of the right eye was perfectly restored, and the 

 left considerably relieved. I also received four 

 thousand cowries from another patient. Cowries 

 being the principal article of barter, we found 

 them extremely useful in purchasing provisions, 

 &c.
