Guha people. Remain to buy and prepare food, and because many are sick. _16th August, 1869._--West and by north through much forest reach Kalalibébé; buffalo killed. _17th August, 1869._--To a high mountain, Golu or Gulu, and sleep at its base. _18th August, 1869._--Cross two rills flowing into River Mgoluyé. Kagoya and Moishé flow into Lobumba. _19th August, 1869._--To the River Lobumba, forty-five yards Avide, thigh deep, and rapid current. Logumba and Lobumba are both from Kabogo Mounts: one goes into Tanganyika, and the other, or Lobumba, into and is the Luamo: prawns are found in this river. The country east of the Lobumba is called Lobanda, that west of it, Kitwa. _21st August, 1869._--Went on to the River Loungwa, which has worn for itself a rut in new red sandstone twenty feet deep, and only three or four feet wide at the lips. |
