158 LIVINGSTONE'S LAST JOURNALS. [Chap. YL 



where the people are civil, but Mukamba had war with 

 some one. The Lake narrows to about ten miles, as the 

 western mountains come towards the eastern range, that- 

 being about N.N.W. magnetic. Many stumps of trees 

 killed by water show an encroachment by the Lake on 

 the east side. A transverse range seems to shut in the 

 north end, but there is open country to the east and west 

 of its ends. 



24:th November. — To Point Kizuka in Mukamba's country. 

 A Molongwana came to us from Mukamba and asserted most 

 positively that all the water of Tanganyika flowed into the 

 River Lusize, and then on to Ukerewe of Mteza; nothing 

 could be more clear than his statements. 



25th November. — We came on about two hours to some vil- 

 lages on a high bank where Mukamba is living. The chief, 

 a young good-looking man like Mugala, came and welcomed 

 us. Our friend of yesterday now declared as positively as 

 before that the water of Lusize flowed into Tanganyika, and 

 not the way he said yesterday ! I have not the smallest doubt 

 but Tanganyika discharges somewhere, though we may be 

 unable to find it. Lusize goes to or comes from Luanda 

 and Karagwe. This is hopeful, but I suspend my judgment. 

 War rages between Mukamba and Wasmashanga or Uas- 

 masane, a chief between this and Lusize : ten men were 

 killed of Mukamba's people a few days ago. Yast numbers 

 of fishermen ply their calling night and day as far as we 

 can see. Tanganyika closes in except at one point N. and 

 by W. of us. The highest point of the western range, 

 about 7000 feet above the sea, is Sumburuza. We are to 

 go to-morrow to Luhinga, elder brother of Mukamba, near 

 Lusize, and the chief follows us next day. 



26th November. — Sunday. Mr. Stanley has severe fever. 

 I gave Mukamba 9 dotis and 9 fundos. The end of Tan- 

 ganyika seen clearly is rounded off about 4' broad from 

 east to west.
