con the 18th of April met at Moussoudi, on
the Ungercugeri river, four marches from Semi
bawenni, Salini bin Rasheed, who gave me the
following intelligence respecting Livingstone
g | saw the musuneu who came up from the
Nyassa a long time ago, at Uilji last year He
lived in the next tembe to me. He has a
long, white moustache and beard, and was very
fat. He was then about going to Marungu and
Uuiema"
On the 18th of MAY Sheikh Abduah bin WASH
found me encamped at Mpwapwa, and gave me
the following:
The musungu (white MANI has gone to Man
lena, months march from Ujul. He has met
with a bad accident, having shot himself in the
thigh while out hunting buffalo. When he gets
well he will return 10 Uui. There are many
lakes on the other side OF the Tanganyika. Lake
Uitii is very great; Lake uruwa is also great;
Lake BangucOo is great, but Lake Manema Is
great, exceedingly great
AT Kusuri, in Mgunda Mkhalli, or the land of
the Wayanzi, on the 18th of June, met Sheik
Thanh BIN Massoud, who impaired the follow
ing:
''You are asking me about the musungu
whom people call 'Dochter Fellusteen' (Dr. Liy-
ingstone). Yes; l lived near him about three
months at UjiJ. His men have all deserted
him, except three slaves whom he was obliged
to buy"
"WhyP
''I1e used to beat his men very hard ifthey did
not do instantly what he told them. At last
they all ran away; no one would stop with him.
He had nothing with him, no cloth nor beads,
10 buy food for a long time; so he had TO go ont
and hunt buffalo every day. He is a very old
man and very fat, TOO has long white beard.
He is a great cater, Mashallahi He would eat
a pot Of ghee and bic plateiul of rice three or
four times day. Mashallah but you sec this
