Read the passage carefully and answer the question which come after it.

Just before dark, we took up our abode for the night at a small village, where I bought some food for myself and some corn for my horse at the moderate price of a button, and was told that I should see the river Niger early the next day. The lions here are numerous. The gates of the compound are shut a little after sunset, and no one is allowed to go out after this curfew. The thoughts of seeing the Niger in the morning and the buzzing of the mosquitoes, prevented me from sleeping until nearly dawn. I saddled my horse and was in readiness to start before any of my followers, but on account of wild beasts, we were obliged to wait until the villages were stirring and the gates opened, as this happened to be market-day at Sego, the roads leading to the village were crowded with vendors of merchandise. However, we drew along fairly rapidly in spite of a few halts on account of false alarms, and, after passing through some marshy land, we at last saw in the distance a silver strip.
