several occasions, handsome presents from us, and 
when at Malinde, Mambrui, and Lamu had been well 
fed by us. Now we were in their country, and were 
their guests, yet they brought us nothing. We suc- 
ceeded, however, in buying from the Wapokomo a 
little rice, Indian corn, and a few plantains. 
To-day I collected the following names of Kipo- 
komo districts and villages, all along the course of 
the galana (river) Maro: i, Kalindi ; 2, Ngau ; 3, 
Watu-wa-Tini;4, Yunda; 5, Bu; 6, Ngatani; 7, KuUisa; 
8, Mugundu; 9, Andani; 10, Seloa; 11, Mbuea; 12, 
Akani; 13, Nzao; 14, Muina; 15, Ndera; 16, Guanoni; 
17, Kenokombo; 18, Nthorai; 19, Trobakini ; 20, 
Malaluni; 21, Malenkole; 22, Korokoro; 23, Manyole. 
The people of the two last places are said to be 
cannibals. Beyond these extends the country of the 
Masai, or Kori, as they are called by the Gallas. 
I stood in the water knee-deep writing these names 
from the lips of several Wapokomo, but before I had 
finished the mosquitos were stinging my bare legs, 
which told me that it was time to retire to my cage. 
Wednesday the 9th was wretchedly spent. We 
fondly hoped that Aba Rufat might return from his 
brother and conduct us to some more comfortable 
quarters, but we hoped in vain. We were deserted, 
too, by all the other Gallas, and Hirebaya failed to 
visit us, though he promised faithfully to do so. How 
long should ^sf^ have to remain in these circumstances ! 
But for the^ Wapokomo I know not what we should 
have done. These people were very civil. Again 
they brought us grain and bananas for sale, so we 
were able to close the mouths of our men, who were 
showing a disposition to complain of starvation.
