1885.] From Benguella to Garenganze, 161 
came rushing in from all directions, and anyone who knows 
anything about the African army ant will at once understand why 
my carriers turned out so speedily. I can most truthfully say I 
was willing to remain at Katema, but the Lord prevented my 
doing so. In the evening I camped at Kalilangumbu, a cluster 
of fishers' huts. 
2A,th. — Reached the village of a small female chief 
25M. — Lost our path, and wandered up and down the bush all 
day ; finally we struck the Loambo river, and camped. 
QUARRELS. 
December 26th. — A long day's journey brought us to Katonge. 
Here the hills on the east side of the Zambesi are in sight. My 
brave men, having ceased for the time to quarrel with me, have 
been letting out their spleen one against another. On the road

declared it was his own fault, and would not pay for this offence ; 
so he and his friends waylaid us on the road, caught a straggler, 
and took his gun from him. Camped on the east bank of the 
Luvua, a large river flowing into the Zambesi. Here there is a 
Lovale colony under a chief named Fela. They have established 
themselves in the Lunda country by sheer force. 
WATER TOO ABUNDANT. 
To-morrow I expect to meet a Bailundu caravan bound for the 
west, so I close this part of my journal. I do not send any 
sketch-map of route taken, as I shall have to go over the ground 
again before I can be at all correct, the rivers being very
