166 MUNGO PARK'S 
Ba Nimma rises in the Kong mountains South of Mar- 
raboo ; it passes one day's journey South of Sego ; and 
having received a branch from Miniana, empties itself into 
the lake Dibbie. It is not quite half so large as the Niger. 
I have not the least doubt of the truth of this, having 
heard it from so many people. We shall not see Jinnie 
in going to Tombuctoo. 
Route from Sego to Miniana. 
From Sego in one day, 
Deena, across the Ba Nimma in canoes, and halt on 
the south side ; thence in one day, 
Dahmaroo, 
Sijirri, 
Neaguana, 
Mullo Soo, 
BilliSoo; 
In all seven days. 
The inhabitants of Miniana eat their enemies, and 
strangers, if they die in the country. They eat the flesh 
of horses ; but such is their veneration for the cow that she 
is never killed ; when she dies, they eat the flesh. Miniana 
is hilly ; all the grains are cultivated the same as in Bam- 
barra.
