Thursday Feb. 9 = 1899

I went to Kinshasa this a.m. on my bike & took all the
boys along to select out some loads for Luebo. I got
over quite early and ate breakfast with Mr. Gordon &
Dinner with Dutch people. The Ville de Bruxelles went
by about 11 o'clock and I went up to the landing to find
out when she was going, but she was only going to get
some wood. In the pem- I put 47 loads in a row boat &
started up to the landing, but about % way we were to
close to the shore & ran on a rock and it took some time
to get off. Then the wind came up & kept us back about
the time we were going to unload the capt. of the Deliv-
erance told me I might put the loads on board his boat
& he would take them to Leopoldville for me, so I did

& we took the small boat back & I came home on my bike.

Friday Feb. 10 - 99

This a.m. it rained & I bo't a lot of quanga & other
things - after, I carried Mr. Vass' loads & 50 more to
the Beach. JI unloaded the goods from the Deliverance
& made a snug pile of all 100 leads on the beach. I
gave the boys some fish & the rest of the day and they
were happy.

Saturday Feb. 11 - 99

I went to the beach this asm. to try & find out about
the leaving of the boat, but nobody could tell me. In
the poem. the boat came in & the capt. did not know whethe
he was going nor when. Every thing was made ready for
Sunday - Good night.
