w E departed from Sansanding in a canoe the 27th* day 
of the moon, and went in two days to Sellee,t where Mr. 
Park ended his first voyage. Mr. Park bought a slave to 
help hira in the navigation of the canoe. There was Mr. 
Park, Martyn, three other white men, three slaves and 
myself as guide and interpreter ; nine in number, to navi- 
gate the canoe : without landing we bought the slave. 
We went in two days to Ginne. We gave the Chief one 
piece of baft and went on. In passing Sibby,$ three ca- 
noes came after us, armed with pikes, lances, bows and 
arrows, &c. but no fire-arms. Being sure of their hostile 
intentions, we ordered them to go back ; but to no effect; 
and were obliged to repulse them by force. Passed on ; 
we passed Rakbara ; § three came up to stop our passage, 
which we repelled by force. On passing Tombuctoo we 
were again attacked by three canoes ; which we beat off,
