MUNGO PARK'S 
June 7th. — Departed early in the morning, and as the 
carpenter before mentioned was very weak, appointed two 
soldiers to stay by him, and assist him in mounting, and 
to drive his ass. Four miles east of Baniserile came to the 
brow of a hill, from which we had an extensive prospect 
eastwards. A square looking hill, supposed to be the hill 
near Dindikoo, in Konkodoo, bore by compass due East.

Shortly after crossed the bed of a stream running towards 
the Faleme river, called Samakoo on account of the vast 
herds of elephants which wash themselves in it during 
the rains.

Saw their foot marks very frequently, and fresh dung. 
Heard a lion roar not far from us, This day the asses 
travelled very ill on account of their having eaten fresh 
grass, as we supposed. 
Obliged to load the horses, and at noon halted at a large 
pool of water in the bed of the Samakoo, called Janang a.
