a village, where lie abused his authority by seizing a 
woman, and binding the chief. 
The next day we proceeded with the Watongolehs, 
Sentum and Sentageya, and camped at Jumba’s Cove. 
Jumba is the hereditary title of one of the junior 
admirals in command of a section of the imperial canoe 
fleet, to wfom is awarded the district of Unjaku, a 
headland abutting on the left or north bank of the 
Katonga river. It is an exceedingly fertile district, 
separating Gabunga’s, or the chief admiral’s, district 
from Sambuzi’s, a sub-chief of Kitunzi. 
The whole of the north coast from Murchison Bay 
presents a panorama of beautiful views, of square table- 
topped mounts, rounded hills, and cones forming low 
ranges, which run in all directions, but with a general 
inclination east and west, and form, as it w T ere, a 
natural boundary to the lake on the north. These 
masses of mountains, forming irregular ranges, suggest 
to the observer that no rivers of importance issue into 
the lake from the north side. They are terminated sud- 
denly at the Katonga, and from the north-west along 
their base the river flows sluggishly into the lake. On 
the right or southern bank the land appears to be very 
low, as far as the hills of Uddu, four miles off. The 
Katonga river at this mouth is about 400 yards wide, 
but its current is very slow, almost imperceptible. 
Uganga is a lowland district lying at the mouth of 
the Katonga, on the south or right bank, whence a large 
bay with well -wooded shores rounds from this river to 
the southward in a crescent form, to Bwiru, from which 
point we begin to trace the coast of Uddu. Uganda 
proper extends only as far as the Katonga river ; from 
its bank Uddu begins, and stretches as far as the Alex- 
andra Nile or Kagera. 
Sesse Island extends from a point six miles south 
of Kibonga, westward to a point seven miles south of 
Jumba’s village, and southward — parallel almost with 
the coast of Uddu — to a distance of about twenty-three 
miles. Its extreme length is about forty-two miles, 
while its extreme breadth must be about twenty miles.
