1871.] PAINFUL PROGRESS. 151 



14^ August. — Across many brisk burns to a village on 

 the side of a mountain range. First rains 12th and 14th, 

 gentle ; but near Luamo, it ran on the paths, and caused 

 dew. 



15th August. — To Muanambonyo's. Golungo, a bush buck, 

 with stripes across body, and two rows of spots along the 

 sides (?) 



16th August. — To Luamo Eiver. Very ill with bowels.
