13//?-. — Marched to Kungofo. Towards the end of the journey 
the road lay through well-tilled gardens for three miles. 
A frightful storm came down shortly after we had camped and 
threatened to swamp everything. The cooking business was 
paralysed; we had to go to bed with what supper could other- 
wise be provided. My man Kasoma returned from Msidi with a 
small tooth of very white ivory, to indicate how white the king's 
heart was towards me. 
JOURNEY ENDED. 
February \^th. — A short journey brought us close to the capital. 
I was shown a hill close by where I might build. On getting to 
the spot it pleased me every way. It was in the midst of villages, 
on high ground, commanding a view of the whole country, but 
not difficult of approach. 
February i^th, 1886. — Late this morning the king's messenger, 
who had come in the morning with promises of food, returned to 
say that, as the food had not arrived, Msidi had sent a small tooth 
of ivory to keep my heart up !
