We now crossed a brook, Chirongo, one yard wide and one deep; but our march was all through well-grown forest, chiefly gum-copal trees and bark-cloth trees. The gum-copal oozes out in abundance after or during the rains, from holes a quarter of an inch in diameter, made by an insect: it falls, and in time sinks into the soil, a supply for future generations.
Parrots are here in numbers stealing Holcus sorghum in spite of the shouts of the women. We cross Muatizé by a bridge of one large tree, getting a good view of Moero from a hill near Kabukwa, and sleep at Chirongo River. 29th April, 1868. At the Mandapala River.
I have walked over both these mental abortions, and did not know that I was walking on water till I saw them in the maps. The year concludes with health impaired. 28-31st December, 1867. We came on to the rivulet Chirongo, and then to the Kabukwa, where I was taken ill. Heavy rains kept the convoy back.
