river; sometimes as smooth as a mirror, at other times 
ruffled with a gentle breeze, but at all times sweeping us 
along at the rate of six or seven miles per hour. We 
halted for the night at Deena, a Somoni village on the 
south side. Had a tornado in the night, which wetted our 
baggage much. Most of us slept in the canoes to prevent 
theft.

morning, and arrived at Yamina at forty-five minutes past 
four o'clock. Halted here the 15th, in order to purchase 
cowries.
