154 LIVINGSTONE'S LAST JOURNALS. [Chap. VI. 



and a little bit of meat caused violent diarrhoea, whilst the 

 mind, sorely depressed, reacted on the body. All the 

 traders were returning successful : I alone had failed and 

 experienced worry, thwarting, baffling, when almost in sight 

 of the end towards which I strained. 



3rd October.- — I read the whole Bible through four times 

 whilst I was in Manyuema. 



8th October. — The road covered with angular fragments of 

 quartz was very sore to my feet, which are crammed into 

 ill-made French shoes. How the bare feet of the men and 

 women stood out, I don't know; it was hard enough on mine

20th October. — Rest men. 

 22nd October.— To Rombola. 



23nZ October. — At dawn, off and go to Ujiji. Welcomed 

 by all the Arabs, particularly by Moenyeghere. I was
