William Bonny, Commanding.
Following from Mr. Jameson:—
"Camp in Forest,
"July 26th, 1888.
"My dear Bonny,—We have been doing good work, marching eight hours yesterday, and nine and a half hours to-day....
"Met Muini Sumai. He was on his way back to Banalya, having been pursuaded to return by other Arabs coming from Stanley Falls.
"Muini Sumai told me that one of Sanga's women was beating the drum when the Major came up, and the Major went to the house saying 'Who is that?' Sanga says he thought that the Major was going to beat the woman as he had beaten the man the day before, and so fired at him. He is at Stanley Falls.
"Yours,
"J. S. Jameson."
August 1st.—I raided the Zanzibari houses to-day, which resulted in my getting ten pieces of cloth.
