88 THROUGH ANGOLA 



From Cummunga, the third traverse to the 

 south-west had brought me through 20 miles of 

 pathless bush, where there were uo sable, to the 

 River Coanza ; while a fourth traverse took me 

 south-east along another stream, called the 

 Longoe, to the new Portuguese post at Chimbango, 

 not far from the Loando River. 



The fifth and last traverse to the south-west, 

 which had brought me in some 20 miles, to the 

 known sable country near the Luce and Lusengo 

 Rivers, was to take me later to the southern end 

 of this country, and to the Coanza at Chuso 

 village ; where river fords, beaten paths, and 

 wagon roads led to civilization, motors, the 

 railway, and Lobito in the south.
