6 LIVINGSTONE'S LAST JOURNALS. [Chap. L 



same is used in Madagascar for the " lamba." * Their hair is- 

 collected up to the top of the head. 



From Kibize islet to Kabogo River on east side of Lake 

 ten hours ; sleep there. Syde slipped past us at night, but 

 we made up to him in four hours next morning. 



13th March. — At Eombole ; we sleep, then on. 



[At last he reached the great Arab settlement at Ujiji, on 

 the eastern shore of Tanganyika. It was his first visit, but 

 he had arranged that supplies should be forwarded thither 

 by caravans bound inland from Zanzibar. Most unfortu- 

 nately his goods were made away with in all directions — not 

 only on this, but on several other occasions. The disap- 

 pointment to a man shattered in health, and craving for 

 letters and stores, must have been severe indeed.] 



14dh March. — Go past Malagarazi Eiver, and reach Ujiji 

 in 3£ hours. Found Haji Thani's agent in charge of my 

 remaining goods. Medicines, wine, and cheese had been left 

 at Unyanyembe, thirteen days east of this. Milk not to be- 

 had, as the cows had not calved, but a present of Assam 

 tea from Mr. Black, the Inspector of the Peninsular and 

 Oriental Company's affairs, had come from Calcutta, besides 

 my own coffee and a little sugar. I bought butter; two* 

 large pots are sold for two fathoms of blue calico, and 

 four-year-old flour, with which we made bread. I found 

 great benefit from the tea and coffee, and still more from 

 flannel to the skin. 



15th March. — Took account of all the goods left by the 

 plunderer; sixty-two out of eighty pieces of cloth (each of" 

 twenty-four yards) were stolen, and most of my best beads. 

 The road to Unyembet is blocked up by a Mazitu or

f The same as Unyanyembe, the half-way settlement on the great. 

 caravan road from the coast to the interior.
