There is a small mission school and dispensary in Dambala, and we stopped at the teacher's house, where his wife  made palm oil chop for us with two touracous, which were very tough indeed, but had a nice gamey flavor. 
On the road we met a man with a wild guinea, which we bought for two shillings. Bill built small fires in three trees, and out of one of them came a family of three lemurs, the tiny bush babies of West Africa. Mona, Hussar and white nosed monkeys were plentiful all day, though I was unable to get another photograph of one. Bill collected insects all along the way, and one of the sights of the road was to see him make a pass at a tiger beetle, with his butterfly net, miss it, and then have Pay-Pay, who was carrying the big camera on his head, stoop and catch it in his hand without dropping the camera or losing his balance. 
May 19 - 
In the morning a great hullaballoo broke out in the village, and crowds of people came swarming into our house, accompanying one young hunter who had captured a small duiker and brought it to us done up in a palm leaf cainje wrapped in nets. Bill paid him 17/6, gave him a drink of gin and a head of tobacco, and there was general rejoicing. 
In the afternoon Fermatah and I went for a walk, with her helping me solicitously over the bridges on the trail. I was looking for small leaf beetles, and she delightedly went prancing about, young and graceful as a kitten, trying vainly to catch crickets and grasshoppers and squealing with laughter. 
Two mongooses arrived, and although we did not wan them we bought them to encourage the trappers. In the late afternoon, when I was trying to get a bath, a stream of people arrived, bringing a porcupine (first report was that it was a leopard), two small birds, one snake, four little striped mice, three of which had been hit in the head and promptly died. 
Today we ate our ceremonial sheep, stewed for lunch and roasted for dinner. The doctors brought their cook with them, and he did a good job on the dinner. Roast lamb couldn't have been any better at home, with proper oven temperature control, than it was when cooked over a small fire on the floor of a mud kitchen. 
May 20 - The doctors left this morning after an early breakfast, also Mr. Paul, and we felt quite lonely. We went for a walk and caught more horn-flies, saw big hornbills and white nosed monekys, and smoked out several hollow trees, catching nothing more useful than a family of Thymalis, a horrible looking creature related to the spiders and scorpions. 
The day's catch netted us one tiny baby monkey, which has to be fed milk from a syringe, four young white-necked crows, which have to be fed by hand, another porcupine and one large bullfrog. 
In the afternoon the Chief sent over a letter which he had just received from Colonel T. Elwood David, the Superintendent of Grand Cape Mount County, whom we had tried in vain to call on while we were in Cape Mount. The letter was so interesting that I asked the Chief's permission to make a copy of it.
