They stole cassava as we went along, but this could scarcely be prevented. They laid hold of a plant an inch-and-a-half thick, and tore it out of the soft soil with its five or six roots as large as our largest carrots, stowed the roots away in their loads, and went on eating them ; but the stalk thrown among those still growing shows the theft. The raw roots are agreeable and nutritious. No great harm is done by this, for the gardens are so large, but it inspires distrust in the inhabitants, a...nd makes it danger- ous for Arabs to travel not fully manned and armed. On reaching the village Kabwabwata a great demonstra- tion was made by Mohamad's Arab dependants and Wan- yam wesi : the women had their faces all smeared with pipe- clay, and lullilooed with all their might. When we came among the huts, they cast handfuls of soil on their heads, while the men fired off their guns as fast as they could load them. Those connected with Mohamad ran and kissed his hands, and fired, till the sound of shouting, lullilooing, clapping of hands, and shooting was deafening : Mohamad was quite overcome by this demonstration, and it was long before he could still them.
