      Enfin, nous sommes dans le Bondou. M. Partarrieu, qui redoutait extrêmement la rencontre de l’almamy, voulait éviter Boulibané, sa résidence ordinaire, pour gagner promptement et directement Bakel ; mais les habitants de Potako, second village que nous trouvâmes, manifestèrent la volonté de s’opposer à ce projet.

Mr Partarrieu, who was extremely reluctant to meet the almami [Fula leader], wanted to avoid Bulibani, his usual place of residence, and quickly head straight to Bakel; but the inhabitants of Potako, the second village that we came across, expressed their opposition to this plan.
