Three or four women whom we saw performing a rain dance at Moerwa's were here doing the same; their faces smeared with meal, and axes in their hands, imitating as well as they could the male voice. I got some maëre or millet here and a fowl. We now end 1866. It has not been so fruitful or useful as I intended.
Stenhouse's invaluable patent cloth, which is very superior to mackintosh: indeed the india-rubber cloth is not to be named in the same day with it. 28th December, 1866. Three men, going to hunt bees, came to us as we were starting and assured us that Moerwa's was near. In this case near meant an hour and three-quarters from our sleeping-place to Moerwa's!
The women seem ill-regulated here Kavimba's brother had words with his spouse, and at the end of every burst of vociferation on both sides called out, "Bring the Muavi! bring the Muavi!" or ordeal. Christmas-day, 1866. No one being willing to guide us to Moerwa's, I hinted to Kavimba that should we see a rhinoceros I would kill it.
