1G2 LIVINGSTONE'S LAST JOURNALS. [Chap. YL 



21th December. — Left Ujiji 9 a.m., and crossed goats, 

 donkeys, and men over Luiche. Sleep at the Malagarasi. 



29th December. — Crossed over the broad bay of the 

 Malagarasi to Kagonga and sleep. 



30th December. — Pass Viga Point, red sandstone, and 

 cross the bay of the River Lugnfu and Nkala village, and 

 transport the people and goats : sleep. 



31st December.- — Send for beans, as there are no provisions 

 in front of this. Brown water of the Lngufu bent away

 we went round Munkalu Point. The water is slightly dis- 

 coloured for a mile south of it, but brown water is seen on 

 the north side of bay bent north by a current.

 yet very, very steep. 



2nd January. — A very broad belt of large tussocks of 

 reeds lines the shore near Mount Kibanga or Boumba. We 

 had to coast along to the south. Saw a village nearly 

 afloat, the people having there taken refuge from their 

 enemies. There are many hippopotami and crocodiles in 

 Tanganyika. A river 30 yards wide, the Kibanga, flows in 

 strongly. We encamped on an open space on a knoll and 

 put up flags to guide our land party to us. 



3rd January. — We send off to buy food. Mr. Stanley 

 shot a fat zebra, its meat was very good. 



4:th January.— The Ujijians left last night with their 

 canoes. I gave them 14 fundos of beads to buy food on 

 the way. We are now waiting for our land party. I gave
