After a week had passed the husband took leave of his wife and went down to the harbour, got on board his ship and set sail for Zanzibar.
After he had gone, the wife came out quickly and went down to the harbour and got on board the vessel her mother had prepared for her and set sail behind him.
In the middle of the ocean that boat of hers passed his. He looked at it and called out, "Who is that in the ship that is passing me?"
She answered, "It is I, my name is Kitangatanga of the sea."
She arrived at Zanzibar, moored her vessel and went ashore, and found that house where he stayed and entered it and sat down. Presently her husband arrived, moored his boat and went up to that house.
When he saw that woman he was surprised and said to her, "How like you are to my wife whom I left in Kilwa!"
So he talked to her for a while and then asked, "Are you married?"
She replied, "No, I am a widow."
Then he said, "If you will marry me I will settle on you a hundred reals."
