Additional Details

"The name I find was in the volume of my journal which is lost, but I have an impression it was Porto, from his native name being Moporotla a kind of tree. Another one named Caetano was nicknamed 'father of a bag' from being borne in a hammock. . . . To the best of my recollection Porto was the man who published part of his journal while I was in Loando. . . ."
