finds an asylum with the other, who (on both 
sides) does not hesitate to acknowledge his hav- 
ing kept him in despite of the other's remon-

At a short distance to the nw. is a small un- 
walled Bushreen town called Coota Cunda; the 
water good and plentiful, and every appearance 
of extensive cultivation. 
We received a visit from the chief of Jam- 
baroo, a small independent province of JalofF 
WooUi, situate about fifteen miles north of this 
village. We bought from him a small strong 
horse for eighty-five bars in amber and coral, 
the value of which did not exceed five pounds 
sterling. We made him a small present. 
Corporal Richmond, a native, was added to 
the sick list, with a severe pulmonic attack. 
Some of the men who have had slight attacks of 
intermittent fever appear to recover rapidly ; on 
the whole, the health of the party might be 
then considered good. Mr. Nelson was the only 
one of the officers who was at all delicate ; Mr. 
Pilkington was recovering rapidly. 
Having left Sandoo Madina at four o'clock in 
the morning of the Sd, we had a pleasant march 
to the next town, Fodia Cunda, the first of 
WooUi, which we reached at half after nine, 
having passed the ruins of two towns, both de- 
stroyed by the people of Bondoo in their wars
