THE CLIMATE OF UNYOHO. 
Far to the north-west of our position, at Unyoro, 
are people named Ooreea-Wantu — translated eaters of 
men, cannibals — the Walsega, perhaps. We saw some 
of them, but were told they had drunk or tasted the 
blood of Kamarasi in the same way that Kidjweega 
and Manua had made brotherhood. 
We had a considerable quantity of rain during our 
stay here. The showers were very partial, appearing 
to fall from six or seven different points of the heavens 
at the same moment, while the small river by our 
camp had been rising for three days, though we had 
no rain. There were no regular prevalent winds at 
this season ; three violent storms, all from different 
directions, the north, south-west, and south, were 
noted. 
An observation of the weather, from sunset of the 
7th November to 8 p.m. of the 8th, is here given : — 
Sunset. — A bank of clouds collected in the south-west. 
Night. — Still and fair. 
7 a.m. — Perfect calm ; the grasses arching with the weight of dew. 
9 a.m. — A breath of air. Last night's clouds rising. Clear horizon 
from north to east. 
Noon. — Heavens fleeced over with cloud. Gentle breeze. 
3 p.m. — Breeze increased to freshness. Temperature, 82° in the shade. 
Sunset. — Wind dying away. Heavy clouds over the south horizon. 
8 p.m. — Still and calm. Sky half covered with watery clouds. 
Every morning and every day seemed alike, only 
varied by occasional falls of rain. The mornings were 
dull, with fogs hanging low, the paths wet, and the 
tall grasses dripping with dew. A fire was very com- 
fortable at night, particularly when the rain trickled 
through the roofs of our small grass huts. We suffered 
no inconvenience from the heat, being always shel- 
tered.
