S02 THE LAKES AND RIVERS OF AFRICA. 
or seventy-three miles longer then Captain Burton and 
Speke described it. From the Tanganyika he crossed Ma- 
remguo and came in sight of Lake Moero. Tracing this 
lake, which is about sixty miles in length, to its southern 
extremity, he found a river entering it from that direction. 
Following the Luapula north, as this river was called, he 
found it issued from the great lake of Bangweolo which is 
as large in superficial area as Tanganyika. The most im- 
portant feeder of this lake is the Chambezi. He had traced 
the Chambezi running north through three degrees oflati- 
tude. It could not then be the Zambesi. He returned to 
King Cazembe, thence to TJj iji, whence he dated those let- 
ters to the London Geographical Society, under whoso 
auspices he travels, which though the outside world still 
doubted that the traveller was alive, fully satisfied the 
minds of the members of that society. The way in which 
Musa left the Doctor, and what the Doctor was doing all 
the time that the world thought him dead, has now been 
told as Dr. Livingstone told your correspondent. But his 
experiences, his troubles, his sufferings in mind, body and 
estate, how Arabs conspired against him, his men robbed 
him, false Moslems betrayed him, how he was detained by 
inundations, by scanty means to cross rivers and lagoons, 
by wars between Arabs and natives from the beginning of 
18(57 to the middle of March 18(59, when he arrived at 
Uj'ji — do one will be able to better relate than himself. 
After resting at IJjiji he thought of exploring the head of 
the Tanganyika and ascertaining whether this lake had any 
connection, or whether the river Rusizi was an influent or 
an affluent ; but the avarice of the Wajiji, which would 
have deprived him of most of his cloth, prevented him. At 
the end of June 1869, he set off by way of Uguhha for his 
last series of explorations. Fifteen days’ march brought 
him to Manyema, a virgin country, but lately known to 
the Arabs even. On the threshold of great discoveries he 
was laid up six month from ulcers in the feet. When ro- 
eovered he set off northerly and came to a broad lacustrine
