The prayer to Jesus for a new heart and right spirit at once commends
itself as appropriate.”


* The heart and other parts were buried by a large mzwvz/a tree, on which his
name and the date of death were cut. While at Garenganze, Mr. Arnot heard
from a native that Chitambo was dissatisfied, because he had never received
any reward for permitting the body to be taken away. The Royal Geographical
Society, learning this, has sent Mr. Arnot £50, with a request that he will, if
possible, purchase and convey to Chitambo, if yet living, some suitable present.
M. Giraud’s Description. 267


In Africa Livingstone has left a good name. His restraint over
himself and his men in not allowing the natives to be injured was
very marked. Around Bangweolo firearms were then scarcely known,
and were greatly feared; and once, when much tried by Matipa,
Livingstone fired a pistol through the roof of the hut, and it had the
desired effect of alarming the chief and expediting the progress of
the party. We refer to this Baoussi because his men, when carrying
the body of their master along the north shore of Bangweolo, could not
patiently bear and wait as he would have done. By the people there,
the Baoussi, the resting of a gun against a hut by one of the men was
made into an offence; strife arose, and Livingstone’s men stormed
the place, and then some neighbouring villages, taking several lives,
and getting an easy victory by means of their firearms. This act is
to be regretted, but probably the natives would understand the
difference between Livingstone and his men.
