About two the messenger returned, accompanied by the schoolmaster's elder brother.

"The interview," says Mr.Park, "between the two brothers, who had not seen each other for nine years, was very natural and affecting.

They fell upon each other's neck, and it was some time before either of them could speak.
At length, when the schoolmaster had a little recovered himself, he took his brother by the hand, and turning round, 'This is the man,' said he, pointing to Karfa, 'who has been my father in Manding.

I would have pointed him out sooner to you, but my heart was too full.'" The coffle then proceeded to Malacotta, where they were well entertained for three days, being each day presented with a bullock from the schoolmaster.
Malacotta is an unwalled town; the huts are made of unsplit canes twisted into wicker work, and plastered over with mud.

The inhabitants are active and industrious; they make good soap by boiling ground nuts in water, and adding a lye of wood ashes.
