FROM UJIJI TO URAMBO.
A T last, on the 27th June, I left Ujiji. With flag flying

who had known Livingstone, Stanley, and all the great
pioneers of Africa. He expressed his delight at some
medicine I had given him for his eyes—a zinc lotion—
and asked me for more ; and after partaking of a cup of
coffee I gave a last look towards Ujiji and started in

as far as Maekere, a village two miles from Ujiji. The chief
presented me with a fowl and a large basket of potatoes,
and gave me a good tembe—rather clean for a wonder—
for myself and my goods. Next morning I awoke minus
sundry bits of flesh on which the cockroaches had been

and called out the roll of my men. The nyampara (headman)
and five porters were missing. I sent out for them
and proceeded to examine the village. In front of each
house stood huge piles of sweet potatoes cut in slices and

beer). A market is also held here, and trade must be
pretty brisk, as I noticed ten shoulders of goat exposed
for sale, the price of each being one fundo (six strings) of
