We are now among people inured to slave-dealing. We were visited by men who had been as far as Tete or Nyungwe, and were told that we were but ten days from that fort.
Candumba, 15 miles E. of 9 42 46 . . . 1855, Jan. 2 Pungo Andongo, 300 yards N. of the Coanza. Kalai, 17 51 54 25 41 0 1855, Nov. 18 2 3 near the Mosioatunya Falls. Top of the hills Semalembue, water boils 204-1/2 Deg. = 4078 feet. Tete or Nyungwe station, 16 9 3 33 28 0 Mar. 2, 17 4 8 house of commandant. Hot Spring Makorozi, 15 59 35 . . . Mar. 13 about 10 m. up the river.

"All the slaves of Nyungwe," said one, "are our children; the Bazunga have made a town at our expense."
We were obliged to give them two small tusks; for, had they told Katolosa of our supposed offense, we should, in all probability, have lost the whole. We then went through a very rough, stony country without any path.

He was quite black, but had come from the Portuguese settlement at Tete or Nyungwe; and now, for the first time, we understood that the Portuguese settlement was on the other bank of the river, and that they had been fighting with the natives for the last two years. We had thus got into the midst of a Caffre war, without any particular wish to be on either side.
