The mouth of the Inhambone River is commoded by a
bar; which very much retards its navigation; its site in
the old maps is extremely erroneous; and it is remarkable,
with what confidence geographers have laid down the
places along this coast, thinking, very probably, that no-
thing like verification was likely to follow in their time
and that a statement, however erroneous, was preferable to
a confession of ignorance.
, The dress of the natives of this province is pecitliarly
' graceful. It consists of,a kind of kilt, of any colour, in
the manner of the Highlander; several yards of cloth are
thrown over the left shoulder, leaving the right arm at
liberty; their cap is cloth or skin, the lower pert of which
is ornamented with pieces of brass, or buttons, and resem-
bles, at a distance, a plaided band;: feathers of various
kinds wave therein; bracelets and anelets are worn in pro-
fusion, and, upon the Whole, their costume is the most in-
teresting that the Continent eilbrds, so far as our observe-
: timas hare been extended_ 'llidbmee,,or itssagye, is here
the favourite weapon; but there is, on the whale, but
' little peculiar to those people.
The province of Inhambane did formerly export vast
numbers of slaves to the Brazils. its direct trade is now
subverted, but it forwards occasional' cargoes to Mozam-
bique. " Formerly," uflirmed one of the Portuguese Com-
mandants, " the natives of my district had spirit enough
to surrender their liberty for a very trifling 'emapenbatioe.
Without any reluctance they would barter their own and
their family's freedom for one intoxicating revel; hut, un-
fortunately, such is the change of ideas, that at. present it is
with difficulty they can be prevailed upon to do it. Not-
withstanding the powerful arguments which we urge on
this heed, they prefer their poverty, nakedness, and pa-
ganism, to the abundance, comforts, and religious conso-
lations, afforded by Brazil." Of such sort was the lan-
guage Of this Portuguese, but let those who have had op-
portunity of witnessing the fact, deseribe in bat portion
of the earth the friendless native of Africa has experienced
more severity of treatment, then in the Portuguese pos-
sessions of South America save only the Colony of the
Mauritius, where, still the feelings' of every casual stranger
are outraged by the objects that continually are passing
before him.
We departed the river Inhambane, the Sth September,
and completed the survey of the coast up to Sorel* (in-
cluding: the Banta Islands) 17 the 12th. The entrance
to Sofala is beset with intriracies, and a danger similar in
kind to that experienced at Quillinsne, awaited us. We
anchored outside, procured a pilot, and delayed our attempt
to enter the port till the proper time of tide, when weigh-
ing, and making sail for the port, being governed by the
assurances of this conductor, who appeared confident about
a sufficiency of water, we suffered 'the inconvenience of
striking, and remaining upon the bar for a considerable
period, beating upon it occasionally with much violence.
As the tide receded, the vessel settled in the sand, anti
being shored up, did herself no material injury.
At low water, the sea broke round us in the moat lotions
manner, but the labour of preparing to heave her off pro-
r ~!eded with alacrity. Every part of the bank was sounded,
and anchors run out in the most favourable direction; the
vessel lightened, Iwy starting the water, throwing overboard
the ping' and other portables ; and when the operation of
heaving comnleneed, Omagh every mode Of' apply is

effort, owing- to the very little rise of tide, until the morn-
ing of the I:ith September, when after ex trawl ditutry labour
-die was forced into 'deep water, and ones more floated
upan her proper element.
But the conduct of our pilot in th' ;affair was partieu-
lady singular. Immediately on the br' taking the ground,
he became dejected and motionless, if overpowered byhe eonsequeneei„ of his Ignorance. an effect of fear for theg

prevented from executing upon him the most sever and
summary vengetutce.
