He seconded the act by one still greater, he suffered the baggage to pass without examination, and Mr.Park was allowed to depart when he pleased.
Accordingly, on the morning of the 23d, Mr.Park left Fatteconda, and in a few hours arrived at a small village, the boundary between Bondou and Kajaaga.

Hearing it was dangerous for travellers, Mr.Park resolved to proceed by night, until they should reach a more hospitable part of the country, and directed their course through the woods.

On this occasion, Mr.Park says, "the stillness of the air, the howling of the wild beasts, and the deep solitude of the forest, made the scene solemn and impressive.

Not a word was uttered by any of us, but in a whisper; all were attentive, and every one anxious to show his sagacity, by pointing out to me the wolves and hyenas, as they glided, like shadows, from one thicket to another." The following afternoon they arrived at Joag, in the kingdom of Kajaaga, where they took up their abode at the house of the chief man, here called the _dooty_.

He was a rigid Mohammedan, but distinguished for his hospitality.
