provisions, and that I might stay there to rest myself; to 
Vvhich I agreed. We passed Goundouguede and arrived 
at four P. M. at Jyggiting Yalla ; on my arrival I told the 
messenger my intention of sending somebody to the King, 
to let him know of my being in his dominions, and near 
him. I then sent Saloumoii my friend to Giocha, where 
the King resided. I told him on his arrival at Giocha, to 
go to Sabila, the chief of all the King's slaves, and a con- 
fident of his, to give him thirteen grains of amber No. 1, 
one pair of scissars, one snuff-box, and one looking-glass; 
and tell him I sent him those things as a present, and let 
him know of my arrival. After this man's departure, I 
sent another messenger, and desired him to go to Giocha, 
to endeavour to see my old friend Allasana-Bociara, one 
of the King of Sego's messengers, who were sent as ambas- 
sadors, and tell him that I send him this grain of amber, 
and that piece* of silver, as a mark of my being near him, 
and not to leave Giocha before he saw me. I had learnt 
his arrival there by a caravan of slaves I met on the road. 
After I had sent these two messengers unknown to one 
another, the King's messenger came in the evening, and 
told me he was going away, but should give orders to the 
first village he should come to, to receive me well and give 
me provisions and all assistance ; and that I should wait 
* One round half dollar.
