grown strong. The chief allotted us his own hut for
our night’s lodging. Nevertheless we had much the
same experiences as on the previous night, which
made us vow that on our prospective trips to the
Sabi and northwards we would take our tent and
never again expose ourselves to the companionship
of rats and other vermin in the native huts.
The following day a lovely ride over the mountains,
through dense forests and swarms of locusts,
which our black men eagerly collected, brought us
back again to Fort Victoria and comparative civilisation,
where, we made preparations for our more
extended expeditions away from the road and our
waggons, warned but not discouraged by our discomforts
with TJmgabe and Cherumbila.
