Park the following tide ; we passed ten villages, and 
arrived at supper time at Sansanding,* where we slept ; de- 
parted bj land at three P. M. and arrived at sunset at 
Madina, and lodged with Alihou. I found there Araadi 
fatouma,t the very guide I had recommended to Mr. Park, 
and who went with him on his voyage from Sansanding. 
I sent for him ; he came immediately. I demanded of him 
a faithful account of what had happened to Mr. Park. 
On seeing me, and hearing me mention Mr. Park, he 
began to weep; and his first words were, " They are all 
" dead." I said, " I am come to see after you, and in- 
tended to look every way for you, to know the truth 
" from your own mouth, how they died." He said that 
they were lost for ever, and it was useless to make any- 
further enquiry after them ; for to look after what was 
irrecoverably lost, was losing time to no purpose. I told 
him I was' going back to Sansanding, and requested he 
would come the next day there to meet me, to which he 
agreed. I went to Sansanding and. slept there ; next day 
I sent back the canoe to Impebara. Amadi fatouma came 
at the appointed time to meet me, being the 21st day of 
the moon 4 I desired he would let me know what passed 
to his knowledge concerning Mr. Park.
