Having slept at a small village, the next morning they crossed a narrow but deep stream, called Krisko, a branch of the Senegal.

Proceeding eastward, about two o'clock they came in sight of the native town of Jambo, the blacksmith, from which he had been absent about four years.

He was received with the greatest affection by his relations, but he declared that he would not quit Mr.Park during his stay at Kooniakary, and they set out for that place in the morning of the 14th January.

About the middle of the day, they arrived at Soolo, a small village about three miles to the south of it, where Mr.Park went to visit a slatee, named Salim Daucari, who had entrusted him with effects to the value of five slaves, and had given Mr.Park an order for the whole of the debt.
The slatee received his visitors with great kindness.

It was, however, remarkable that the king of Kasson was by some means apprised of the motions of Mr.Park, for he had not been many hours at Soolo, when Sambo Sego, the second son of the king of Kasson, came thither with a party of horse, to inquire what had prevented him from proceeding to Kooniakary, and waiting upon the king, who he said was impatient to see him.
