258 Wanderings in Eastern Africa, 
Simba at the time was in the dominions of the Sultan ; 
but hearing of the seizure of his friend in time, he in- 
stantly fled, making his way from town to town under 
the pretence that he was doing an errand for the Sultan, 
but stopping nowhere, on the plea that the King's 
business required haste." Since then he had kept 
himself far enough out of danger s way. 
On the night of the 25th we left Kau, anchoring at 
Kipini, proceeding next day, by sea, towards Lamu, 
and laying to that night among a group of rocks 
called Tenebi. On the day following we landed at 
Lamu. Remaining at that place about a week, we 
set sail for Mombasa on Feb. 6th, anchoring the first 
night off the mouth of the Ozi, the second in the 
middle of Formosa Bay, the third in the harbour of 
Malinde, and the fourth before the town of Mombasa. ' 
So ended our wanderings for the time.
