We shall presently relate the particulars of this interesting part of their expedition. Seven days later, an ensign, named Toole, arrived at Kouka, after a journey from Tripoli, which had occupied only three months and fourteen days. In February, 1824, Denham and Toole made a trip into Luggun, on the south of Lake Tchad.
Luggun was then very little known, its capital Kernok, contained no less than 15,000 inhabitants. The people of Luggun, especially the women who are very industrious, and manufacture the finest linens, and fabrics of the closest texture are handsomer and more intelligent than those of Bornou.
Denham had great trouble in convincing the merchant prince that such traffic was not the aim of his journey, but that the love of science alone had brought him to Luggun.
