CHAP. XIV. 
Journey to meribohwhey, tammaha country. 
On the 15th we left Old Lattakoo, accompanied 
by many of the people. Mahoomoo-Peloo, sur- 
rounded by his captains and relations, walked in 
a formal manner by the side of the waggons till 
we reached the river. The greater part of the 
people then returned home, but the chief and his 
captains did not leave us till we ascended a rising 
ground on the other side, about a mile farther 
on, when, after the usual exchange of civilities^ 
they returned, and we pursued our journey. 
From this eminence the country before us 
presented a new appearance. During the whole 
of my journey, from the Cape to Lattakoo, the 
surface of the ground was bare, except on the 
banks of rivers, but here, as far as could be 
seen in every direction, it was covered with 
wood. The trees were not close to each other*
