Wo had throe largo canoes in tho company which had lately 
come up with goods from Senna. They aro mado very 
largo and strong, much larger than any we ever saw in the 
interior, and might strike with great force against a rock 
and not bo broken. Tho mon sit at tho stern when pad- 
dling, and thero is usually a little shed mado over a part of

CHAPTER XXXII. 
DR. LIVINGSTONE REACHES THE EAST COAST AND RETURNS 
TO ENGLAND. 
We loft Toto at noon on tho 22d, and in tho afternoon 
arrived at tho garden of Sonhor A. Manocl do Gomoz, son- 
in-law and nophew of Bonga. Tho Commandant of Toto 
had sont a letter to tho rebel Bonga, stating that ho ought 
to treat me kindly, and he had deputed his son-in-law to 
bo my host. Bonga is not at all equal to his father Ny- 
aude, who was a man of great ability. Ho is also in bad 
odor with tho Portuguese, because ho receives all runaway 
slaves and criminals. Ho docs not trust tho Portuguese, 
and is reported to bo excessively superstitious. I found 
his son-in-law, Manocl, extremely friendly, and able to con- 
verse in a very intelligent manner. Ho was in his garden 
when wo arrived, but soon dressed himself respectably 
and gave us a good tea and dinner. After a breakfast of 
tea, roasted eggs, and biscuits next morning, ho presented 
six fowls and threo goats as provision for tho journey.
