QUANGO RIVER. 417 
far from this, was found the junction of this 
stream with the river Leeambye, and then, 
following the course of it through the district 
of Makolola and the Balotze valley, he ac- 
curately traced it to its junction with the river 
Leeba, which latter, through all its branches, 
he followed to its sources, in and near the Lake 
Dilolo, in 11° 30' South latitude. 
From this point, the enterprising traveller 
took a Westerly direction, to the town of Njam- 
bi, 10° South latitude. From it he bore to the 
North East, as far as the river Checkapa, in 
10° 38' South; and here, taking to the west, 
he finally reached St. Paul de Loando, the 
Portuguese capital and seaport, on the western 
coast of the province of Angola, situated in 
about 8° 50', South latitude. In 9° 51' 28" 
South, he crossed the Quango river, and there 
found it pursuing a straight course North and 
South. This large river is supposed to run 
into the great Congo, which again empties itself 
into the South Atlantic ocean, at Cape Pa- 
drone. The vicinity of the Chobe river was 
found extensively flooded ; whilst the difficulty 
of travelling through the inundated land, was 
increased by the quantities of papyrus and 
reeds, found bound together by twining con- 
volvolus.
