called Gaiigaran. About seven miles East of Secoba 
came to the village of Konkromo, where we pitched our 
tents by the river side. The day was too far spent before 
we had agreed with the canoe people, and, as we could 
not possibly carry all the loads over, thought it best to 
wait till next morning. As I thought it probable that we 
should have an opportunity of observing an eclipse of 
Jupiter's first satellite, I took the following altitudes for 
the time.

50 bars to carry over all our baggage and cattle, and like- 
wise presented the Dooty of Secoba with some beads.
