The above made a total of about forty loads.  Many things in the list would have brought fancy prices in Unyanyembe, especially the carbines and ammunition, the saw, carpenter’s tools the beads, and wire.  Out of the thirty-three loads which were stored for him in my tembe—­the stock sent to Livingstone, Nov. 1,1870—­but few of them would be available for his return trip to Rua and Manyuema.  The 696 doti of cloth which were left to him formed the only marketable articles of value he possessed; and in Manyuema, where the natives manufactured their own cloth, such an article would be considered a drug; while my beads and wire, with economy, would suffice to keep him and his men over two years in those regions.  His own cloth, and what I gave him, made in the aggregate 1,393 doti, which, at 2 doti per day for food, were sufficient to keep him and sixty men 696 days.  He had thus four years’ supplies.  The only articles he lacked to make a new and completely fitted-up expedition were the following, a list of which he and I drew up;—­

A few tins of American wheat-flour.
    " " soda crackers.
    " " preserved fruits
A few tins of salmon,
10 lbs.  Hyson tea. 
Some sewing thread and needles.
1 dozen official envelopes.
`Nautical Almanac’ for 1872 and 1873.
1 blank journal.
1 chronometer, stopped.
1 chain for refractory people.

With the articles just named he would have a total of seventy loads, but without carriers they were an incumbrance to him; for, with only the nine men which he now had, he could go nowhere with such a splendid assortment of goods.  I was therefore commissioned to enlist,—­as soon as I reached Zanzibar,—­fifty freemen, arm them with a gun and hatchet each man, besides accoutrements, and to purchase two thousand bullets, one thousand flints, and ten kegs of gunpowder.  The men were to act as carriers, to follow wherever Livingstone might desire to go.  For, without men, he was simply tantalized with the aspirations roused in him by the knowledge that he had abundance of means, which were irrealizable without carriers.  All the wealth of London and New York piled before him were totally unavailable to him without the means of locomotion.  No Mnyamwezi engages himself as carrier during war-time.  You who have read the diary of my ‘Life in Unyanyembe’ know
