The new moon is greeted with a prayer that it may bring blessing. A similar custom exists among the Masai. On the other hand the Todas, though the times of their festivals are all regulated by the moon, appear to have no lunar ceremony; if there was ever any such ceremony, it has been absorbed by the buffalo cult.

Accordingly, the ships' heads were turned south once more, and upon July 20th, 1570, the fleet arrived in the African port, "on sus galeras todas llenas de muchas banderas" with galleys gaily beflagged. The procession entered the harbour in three divisions of eight galleys: and towing behind each division was one of the captured galleys of the Knights.
