In October I received another letter from the Captain, asking me to meet him in Chabral harbour. He had become so tired of waiting for a ship that he had decided to start in a boat for Mille. He had effected a reconciliation with the king, and was paying him a friendly visit. He meant to arrange with him regarding the people and the management of the station at Utwe during his absence.
I left Mout at daylight, and, as I said good-bye to Tulpe and the little daughter, how little I thought that I should never cross their hospitable threshold again!
