Dr. Livingstone's friends have published the two
following extracts—the first from a letter of Dr. Living-
stone, dated Chibisa, November 13, 1861 ; the second from
a letter of Bishop fdecketizies, dated fdagoniero, August
21, 1862 :
"A detached portion of a tribe called Ajawa hail been
incited by Portuguese to attack village after village of Man.
ganja, kill the men, and sell the women and children to
them for calico, worth here from la. to 2s. bd. each. We
went to try and induce the Ajawa to cease the effusion of
blood, and came to them in the act of horning three vil-
lages. Flushed with victory, they felt fully ioclined to make
minced meat of us all. Some Mangenja followers deprived
us of the benefit of our English name by calling out that
one of their great sorcerers bad come, and the effect of this,
in nullifying our declarations of pesos, was not realised till
afterwards. Showers of poisoned arrows compelled us MO
act in self-defence. The great chief of this neighbourhood,
Chiosunzi, was about a day's walk ahead, and Livingstone
was anxious to go so far to leers more definitely shout the
Ajawa.
" Aug. 25, Sunday.—The result was, that in attempting
to WOMB to a conversation with the Ajawa chiefs, we were
involved in an encounter with them. On returning, and on
Livingstone's leaving us, as he did the following Monday I
asked him whether he thought circumstances could arise
which would make um go main and fight. lie said, 'No,
You will be oppressed with requisite, but emu's go.' Accord-
ingly, for ten days we continued to answer the many appli-
cations we received by saying always that we must stay
and take are of the worm and children (more than 100)
that were in our bands. But when four more joined tie
we took the question fairly into consideration, resolved
to go. Oar main motive for resolving to join and lead
• Mauganja force was this :—The peace of the country was
disturbed by a foreign marauding and. urdering petty.
These not only were constantly limning lages and killing
the men, but the weaker men and the women and children
they captured and sold to traders from Tette, of whose
treatment of their slaves we bad the evidence of our eyes r
well as of the poor creatures. We knew of two woman
murdered in mold blood simply because they tried to escape
on the march, and another case where, • mother being too
week to carry her infest, the child was taken from her and
its keine dared out."
These extracts show that though the fiat collision be-
tween the English and the natives took place under Br.
Lingerer's auspices, yet that he was surprised into hoe.
tilities, and was moat anxious to prevent the minion party
being betrayed into a like error.
