TRAVELS IN CENTRAL AFRICA. 
Djour and Moro districts to the Neangara^ in the Morokodo^ in 
latitude North 5° 22' 41" and East longitude 30° 6' 26";, where we 
arrived on the 30th of the same month. 
At this portion of our journey^ at about thirty-five miles south 
of Adael;, at a village called Jirri_, at another point twenty-seven 
miles farther south at Dagwara_, we came in contact with the Nam, 
a large and important tributary to the White Nile, rising, I was 
informed, in the hilly Neam Neam district, in about 3° North 
latitude, and proceeding nearly due-north, adds its waters to the 
Nile in the district of the Aliab, in about 8° 27' North latitude, 
where previously, in a morass of reeds, I had observed its outlet. 
For our hospitable reception at Neangara and the means of 
further progress we were indebted to my ten-days^ -distant trading 
station, called Wayo. Had we not had this source wherefrom to 
supply our wants, I know not what would have been our fate. A 
great number of our men — no novices to the hardships of travel — 
must have succumbed to ill health and fatigue had it not been for 
a small number of our animals that still retained sufficient strength 
to carry them occasionally. The best men amongst them, with but 
an apology for clothing, without a change of any kind, and under 
the influence of the worst of climates, had become desponding and 
weary. Our means, too, had dwindled to an alarmingly small 
compass ; and it was only the keen appreciation of the utter help- 
lessness to which my wife, self, and party had become reduced, that 
occasioned the ablest of my men to cordially hail my proposal to 
tarry with the invalids at this place, whilst they went forward to 
seek the trading station (misnamed Neambara, but properly Wayo) 
which I have been so erroneously and unjustly accused of visiting 
for the purposes of my private trade (see Captain Speke in his 
Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile,^^ 603) :
