one of the men, who thought he could turn an honest bunch 

 of beads with it at Unyanyembe. 



Petty tolls were levied on them. Kampama's deputy 

 required four dotis, and an additional tax of six was paid 

 to the chief of the Kanongo when his town was reached. 



The Lungwa River bowls away here towards Tanganyika. 

 It is a quick tumbling stream, leaping amongst the rocks 

 and boulders, and in its deeper pools it affords cool delight 

 to schools of hippopotami. The men, who had hardly 

 tasted good water since crossing Lambalamfipa, are loud in 

 its praise. Muanyasere improved relations with the people at 

 the next town by opportunely killing another buffalo, and 

 all took a three days' rest. Yet another caravan met them, 

 bound likewise for the interior, and adding further particu- 

 lars about the Englishmen at Unyanyembe. This quickened 

 the pace till they foimd at one stage they were melting two 

 days of the previous outward journey into one. 



Arriving at Baula, Jacob Wainwright, the scribe of the 

 party, was commissioned to write an account of the dis- 

 tressing circumstances of the Doctor's death, and Chuma, 

 taking three men with him, pressed on to deliver it to the 

 English party in person. The rest of the cortege followed 

 them through the jungle to Chilunda's village. On the 

 outskirts they came across a number of Wagogo hunting- 

 elephants with dogs and spears, but although they were 

 well treated by them, and received presents of honey and 

 food, they thought it better to keep these men in ignorance 

 of the fact that they were in charge of the dead body of 

 their master. 



The Manyara River was crossed on its way to Tan- 

 ganyika before they got to Chikooloo. Leaving this 

 village behind them, they advanced to the Ugunda dis- 

 trict, now ruled by Kalimangombi, the son of Mbereke, the 

 former chief, and so on to Kasekera, which, it will be re- 

 membered, is not far from Unyanyembe.
