nting incidents that
attended his wanderings, so that they knew not the lands he had seen,
nor the distances that he travelled. However, being uneasy in their
minds they communicated to Wanyana all that was related to them and all
they suspected. Wanyana then sought permission to pay a visit to the
potter and his wife, and during the visit she asked Kimyera, "Pray tell
me, my son, whither dost thou travel on these long journeys of thine to
seek for game?"

"Oh! I travel far through woods, and over grassy hills and plains."

"But is it in the direction of sunrise, or sunset, is it north or is it
south of here?"

To which he replied: "I seek game generally in the direction whence the
sun rises."

"Ah!" said Wanyana. "In that way lies Ganda, where thy father lives,
and whence he came in former days to exchange cattle for salt and hoes."

"My father! What may be my father's name, mother?"

"Kalimera."

"And where did he live?"

"His village is called Willimera, and is near the town of Bakka."

"Bakka! I know the town, for in some of my journeys I entered a long
way into Uganda, and have chased the leopard in the woods that border
the stream called Myanja, and over the plains beyond the river many an
antelope has fallen a victim to my spear."

"It is scarcely credible, my son."

"Nay, but it is true, mother."

"Then thou must have been near Willimera in that case, and it is a pity
that thou shouldst not have seen thy father, and been received by him."

A few days later Kimyera slung his knitted haversack over his shoulder,
and with shield, two spears, and his faithful dogs Darkness and
Wood-burr, he strode out of the potter's house, and set his face once
more towards the Myanja river. At the first village across the stream
he questioned the natives if they knew Willimera, and was told that it
was but eight hours east. The next day he arrived, and travelled round
the village, and rested that night at the house of one of the herdsmen
of Kalimera. He made himself very agreeable to his host, and from him
he received the fullest information of all matters relating to his
father.

The next day he began his return to Unyoro, which he reached in two
weeks. He told Mugema and his foster-mother of his success, and they
sent a messenger to apprise Wanyana that Kimyera had returned home.

Wanyana, impatient to learn the news, arrived that night at Mugema's
house, and implored Kimyera to tell her all that he
