The mansa of this town gave him a little corn, but demanded something in return, and on Mr.Park's assuring him that he had not anything in his possession, replied, as if in jest, that his white skin should not defend him, if he told him any falsehoods.

He then conducted him to the hut wherein he was to sleep, but took away his spear, saying it should be returned in the morning.

This circumstance raised Mr.Park's suspicions, and he requested one of the inhabitants, who had a bow and quiver, to sleep in the hut with him.

About midnight a man made several attempts to enter the hut, but was prevented by Mr.Park and the negro, and the latter, on looking out, perceived it was the mansa himself.

In the morning, Mr.Park, fearing the mansa might devise some means to detain him, departed before he was awake, the negro having recovered the spear.
On the arrival of Mr.Park at Kamalia, a small town, he proceeded to the house of Karfa Taura, the brother of his hospitable landlord at Kennyetoo.
