O kona poe kanaka, i lako me ka lakou mau mea eha hahai holoholona, hoopuni kokke aku la lakou i ke alii, ia Njambi. I kona ike anan ina e ki ana kona poe kanaka ia Livingstone, e pepehi kokeia ana oia a make e ka poe Makalolo, hooholo iho la oia e maluhia. Wuapoia iho la na makana, a hele o Livingstone ame kona poe. o ke ahewa maoli ana no keia mau hana alunu, aole ia maluna o ka poe Apelika, aka maluna o ka poe hana hookauwakkuapaa ka poe i hoomaamaa i kela poe e loaa ke kauwakuapaa mai na poe mai apau e maalo ae ana ma ko lakou aina. I kekahi ia haawi o Livingstone i kekahi poe i pipi, oiai ua koi mai lakou i hookahi pipi i uku no ka hele ana mawaena o ko lakou aina. "Aole," wahi a lakou i olelo mai ai,-"aole makou e lawe ia mea. Ua okiia kona huelo a hookomoia ka laau kahuna iloko olaila."

Ma keia, loaa ia Livingstone he manao maikai, a kona poe i nee ai i ka aka. No ka mea oki oia i ka welau o ka huelo o na pipi apau—a aole i noi hou ia mai kekahi pipi ma ia hope aku. Hoike pinepine oia i kana kukui hoolele kii i ka po a kamailio no hoi e pili ana ina kii. Hookahi alii, i kapaia o Shinte, makemake ioa oia e ike i ke kukui kupanaha "Aole kakou e hoolei mua i ka puupuu. Ina oukou e hana mai peia, o ka hewa o ke koko maluna no ia o ko oukou mau poo." mena kii. Hoakoakoa mai la oia i kona poe kanaka apau, e hui pu ana me kana mau wahine lehulehu, no ka hele e nana i no kii. Hoike mua aku la o Livingstone he kii o Aberahama, me ka pahi ua hapaiia iluna, e makaukau ana e molia i kana kekikane ia Isaaka. Hoolohe akahele loa no wahine oiai oia e wehewehe ana ia mea. Aka i kona hooni ana i ke kii i hookomo aku i kii hou, nee aku la ke kii o Aberahama me ka pahi i hapaiia iluna i o lakou la.

Lehulehu o kela poe i manaoio ole he kanaka o Livingstone. Manao lakou no kekahi lahui mai oia e noho ana malalo o ke kai. "He lauojo anei kela?" wahi a lokou e ninau aku ai iaia e wehe ai i kona papale. "Aole. He hulu kela o ka liaona, aole he lauoho maoli."

Wehe oia i kona palulea hoike ia lakou i kona umauma keokeo, a hookuku ia me kona helehelena, i wela i ka la a hauliuli a kokoke e eleele elike me ko lakou, Lokahi mai la lakou, oiai e helee mau ana lakou mao a maanei i ka la me ke aapa ole, ua mo'a lakou i ka la a ua hauliuli eleele a malia o lakou ame Livingstone he may hoahanau io paha lakou.
