them without ploouSleu or trouble
Whom we had watched the white tilt OF |
the wagon vanish, we set to work to get |
ourselves and our goods across the river |
This We accomplished safely, for the Mazitu |
worked for us Ike friends and not do
hired men on the further bank, however. /
il took us two fun days so to divide up
the loads that the bearers could carry them
without being oyeTladen.
At length an was arranged and we started
OF the months trek that followed there i8
nothing 10 tell, except that We completed
IL without notable accidents and al last
reached the new Besa-Town, which much /
resembled the old where we We're accorded /

headed the procession which met us outside
