 | | After much pains-taking, I have, by the aid of the interpreters, Ferry, Covey, and Pratt, succeeded in settling three points, which, taken together, determine with sufficient precision the location of the Mendi country. |
 | | For this we have (1.) the testimony of John Ferry, who is a native of Gissi, that the Gissi country is bounded on the south by the Mendi country, and that the river Ma-ku-na flows from the Gissi into the Mendi country. |
 | | It follows from the preceding statement, although we are unable to identify the rivers Mo-a and Se-wa, that the country of Gissi is situated on the sources of the waters of Bullom and Vai, and that the Mendi country lies between Gissi on the north, and Bullom and Vai on the south. |
