We reached Jindey the same day, having crossed the Walli creek, a branch
of the Gambia, and rested at the house of a black woman, who had formerly
been the paramour of a white trader named Hewett, and who, in consequence
thereof, was called, by way of distinction, _seniora_. In the evening we
walked out to see an adjoining village, belonging to a slatee named
Jemaffoo Momadoo, the richest of all the Gambia traders. We found him at
home, and he thought so highly of the honour done him by this visit, that
he presented us with a fine bullock, which was immediately killed, and
part of it dressed for our evening’s repast.
