XIV 13th Octr 1870 – Lions fat is asserted to be a certain [1]
preventative to the bite of the Tsetse – Lions are very numerous
in Urori and many are killed and the fat sold – the Garaganza
use it to protect their cattle and when smeared on the animals
5the Tsetse     comes not near them on accout of the smell –

                        on coming inland the safe way is to go to 1 Mdonye
                                2         Makinde   3   Zungomero 4 Masapi 5 Irundu
then turn         ^         North to the Nyamnyams and thence to the Nyembe
                                6 Nyamgore & then South to Merere’s
10and so                 on South to Merere’s – A woman chief lies in
the straight                 way to Merere but no cattle live in her land –
another insect lights on the animals & when licked off bites the tongue
or breeds & is       fatal as well – as tsetse – It is large in size –

                                Tipotipo & Syde bin Ali come to Nyembe – thence
15to Nsamas                 cross Lualaba at Mpwetos – follow left bank
of that                 river till they cross the next Lualaba & so into
Lunda of                 Matiamvo – much ivory may be obtained
by this                 course & it shews enterprise –-

                                Syde bin Habib & Dugumbe will open up the
20Lualaba                 this year and I am hoping to enter the West
Lualaba                 or Youngs river, and if possible go up to
Katanga – The Lord be my guide & helper – I feel the [3]
want of medicine strongly as much almost as of men
