Starting on a march with a large mixed caravan, consisting of 1 corporal and 9 privates, Hottentots 1 jemadar and 25 privates, Beluchs 1 Arab Cafila Bashi and 75 freed slaves 1 Kirangozi, or leader, and 100 negro porters 12 mules untrained, 3 donkeys, and 22 goats one could hardly expect to find everybody in his place at the proper time for breaking ground; but, at the same time, it could hardly be expected that ten men, who had actually received their bounty-money, and had sworn fidelity, should give one the slip the very first day.
Bombay and his brother Mabruki were bound to me of old, and the first to greet me on my arrival here; while my old friends the Beluchs begged me to take them again. The Hottentots, however, had usurped their place. I was afterwards sorry for this, though, if I ever travel again, I shall trust to none but natives, as the climate of Africa is too trying to foreigners.
