Like his father, he welcomed me profusely, and begged me to do him the honour of camping for the night in his village. On my expressing a doubt as to whether he would be able to find food for so many carriers, he eagerly replied that he could feed them without the slightest difficulty if only I would agree to accept his hospitality for the night. I pleased him by conceding his request ; and soon from the compounds there came the sound of the cheerful singing of the women as they beat and ground... the corn, while my host busied himself with find- ing quarters for the carriers and arranging for a supply of wood and water to be brought to the door of my tent. Soon he returned with an ample supply of food for my party, fowls, eggs, and groundnuts for myself, and corn, meal, rice, and other delicacies for the carriers. In the evening, also, he brought in addition several pots of kono (a native drink) and many calabashes of cooked food for the carriers and a large bov/1 of fresh milk for myself.
