In changing my dress this morning I was frightened at my own emaciation. 28th January, 1867. We went five miles along the Movushi and the Chambezé to a crossing-place said to avoid three rivers on the other side, which require canoes just now, and have none.
Four hours through unbroken, dark forest brought us to the Movushi, which here is a sluggish stream, winding through and filling a marshy valley a mile wide. It comes from south-east, and falls into the Chambezé, about 2' north of our encampment.
The tree, when cut, is burned to bring out the strong colour, and then, when it is developed, the wood is powdered. The gum-copal trees now pour out gum where wounded, and I have seen masses of it fallen on the ground. 26th January, 1867. Went northwards along the Movushi, near to its confluence with Chambezé, and then took lodging in a deserted temporary village.
