266 Wanderings in Eastern Africa. 
Krapf under the name Kilimansi. The Doctor states 
this expressly in the quotation we have ah'eady made 
from him. Mr. Cooley further says: With respect to 
the Dana, which Dr. Krapf identifies with the Ozi, 
without alleging any authority for so doing — for the 
fact that both names have the same meaning, ' river,' 
tends rather to mislead than inform — -we have nothing 
to guide us in determining its outlet on the coast." 
If Dr. Krapf ever confounded the Dana with the Ozi, 
it is exceedingly strange ; for, as I have already said, 
he makes them distinct and separate rivers on his map. 
Concerning the outlet of the former, too, on the coast, 
the Doctor was not far out, the true position being at 
about the centre of Formosa Bay, or a day's march 
from the mouth of the Ozi. 
The Tana is by far the most important river between 
the Pangani in the south and the Jub in the north. It 
is said by the Wasuahili, Wapokomo, and the Gallas 
to be navigable very far into the interior. It is pro-

some interruptions, on account of falls and rapids. 
At one of the places where it is crossed, on the route 
to Kikuyu, by Kisuahili caravans, the natives report 
a cataract of magnificent proportions, the roar of whose 
waters is tremendous. 
At Mana Mvoko we found it by measurement to be 
fifty yards wide. The current was too strong to allow 
of our sounding its depth by the appliances we had at 
command, but the channel is said to be exceedingly 
deep. The Wapokomo say it is more than twice the 
depth of their spears, which are at least eight feet long. 
Then it must be further stated that when we were 
there it overflowed its banks for miles on either side ,
