  The Batusi country is North of that
of Mõkamba - The people are tall &
light coloured - They beat back the
Ujijian force & killed twenty four of
them -   They dont wish a path made
through their country for ivory and
are hence called bad at Ujiji - Syde
bin Habib preferred to let them alone
lately but traded with Mõkamba
