and presented me with an ass loaded with kouskous to 
help me in my travels. I gave him half a piece of fine 
white baft, five bottles of powder, two looking-glasses, and 
two snuff-boxes. He then left me, and I went the same 
day to Giocha, to take leave of the King, and beg he would 
let me have the promised conductor (between Wassaba 
and Giocha there being seven rivulets to cross.) He gave 
me a man named Mourocouro, who went on foot. He 
then shook hands with me, saying, Isaaco, I bear you 
no malice now ; but did so once, because you conducted 
white men to Sego ; and never passed here to let me have 
something from them, whilst every body else shared their 
generosity." I took my leave of him and went to Chicouray, 
Chiaman's village, where I met my family and things safe. 
I staid there two days. Chiaman killed me a bullock, and 
I gave him one pagne, worth two pieces of bafts, one bottle 
of powder, twenty flints, and one bar of scarlet cloth. 
We started in the evening and arrived at Chicouray.* 
Sambabile (Chiaman's other brother) gave me some corn 
and a sheep. I gave him a blue pagne, a striped ditto, one 
bottle of powder, twenty flints, and one bar of scarlet cloth ; 
which pagnes I got by the sale of three slaves I was obliged 
to sell to help me in my expenses. I staid there two days ; 
in the morning I started, and arrived at noon at Jyallacoro; 
* These two last villages bear the same name.
