These females were extremely rude and troublesome; they took Mr.Park's cloak, cut the buttons from the boy's clothes, and were proceeding to other outrages, when he mounted his horse, and proceeded on his journey.
In the evening they reached Soobrudooka, and as the company were numerous, they purchased a sheep and corn wherewith to regale themselves, after which, they slept by their baggage.

From Soobrudooka they came to a large village on the banks of the Faleme, which is here very rapid and rocky.

The river abounds with a small fish, of the size of sprats, which are prepared for sale by pounding them in mortars, and exposing them to dry in the sun in large lumps.
An old moorish shereeff, who came to bestow his blessing on Mr.Park, and beg some paper to write saphies upon, said that he had seen Major Houghton in the kingdom of Kaarta, and that he died in the country of the moors.

Mr.Park and some of his attendants gave him a few sheets of paper, on which to write his charms.

Proceeding northward along the banks of the river, they arrived at Mayemow, the chief man of which town presented Mr.Park with a bullock, and he in return gave him some amber and beads.
