Nothing was more disheartening than this conduct of the Manganja, in profiting by the entire breaking up of their nation.
We reached the ship on the 8th of November, 1861, in a very weak condition, having suffered more from hunger than on any previous trip.
Heavy rains commenced on the 9th, and continued several days; the river rose rapidly, and became highly discoloured.

Bishop Mackenzie came down to the ship on the 14th, with some of the "Pioneer's" men, who had been at Magomero for the benefit of their health, and also for the purpose of assisting the Mission.

The Bishop appeared to be in excellent spirits, and thought that the future promised fair for peace and usefulness.

The Ajawa having been defeated and driven off while we were on the Lake, had sent word that they desired to live at peace with the English.

Many of the Manganja had settled round Magomero, in order to be under the protection of the Bishop; and it was hoped that the slave-trade would soon cease in the highlands, and the people be left in the secure enjoyment of their industry.
