borrowing from the morrow."

The traveller must needs make his way into the African interior
after a fashion very different from that to which he has been
accustomed in other countries. He requires to take with him just
what a ship must have when about to sail on a long voyage. He
must have his slop chest, his little store of canned dainties,
and his medicines, besides which, he must have enough guns, powder,
and ball to be able to make a series of good fights if necessary.
He must have men to convey these miscellaneous articles; and as a
man's maximum load does not exceed 70 lbs., to convey 11,000 lbs.
requires nearly 160 men.

Europe and the Orient, even Arabia and Turkestan, have royal ways
of travelling compared to Africa. Specie is received in all those
countries, by which a traveller may carry his means about with
him on his own person. Eastern and Central Africa, however, demand
a necklace, instead of a cent; two yards of American sheeting,
instead of half a dollar, or a florin, and a kitindi of thick
brass-wire, in place of a gold piece.

The African traveller can hire neither wagons nor camels, neither
horses nor mules, to proceed with him into the interior. His means
of conveyance are limited to black and naked men, who demand at
least $15 a head for every 70 lbs. weight carried only as far as
Unyanyembe.

One thing amongst others my predecessors omitted to inform men
bound for Africa, which is of importance, and that is, that no
traveller should ever think of coming to Zanzibar with his money
