We therefore, after onlya brief stay at the chief town of the Kasai district, con-tinued our journey, glad to move on to a spot more suitablefor our work, but remembering with gratitude the hospi-tality which had been accorded to us by the Commissionerof the District and his subordinates.

We therefore encamped by theriverside when the vessel was moored for the night, aproceeding to which our weary voyage from Dima toBatempa had well accustomed us. We stopped at a little.
