capable of much mischief, he takes freaks of charity into 
his whimsical head, such as gratuitously killing buffaloes 
and then informing the inhabitants where the meat may 
be found ; he is also said to have a relentless animosity 
towards the bandits of Ndereli, and frequently entraps 
them to their destruction. A conical knoll is called, 
after this spirit, Katavi’s Hill. 
Before the mouth of the Mkombe river there lies a 
low submerged island, just west of south from Katavi. 
Only a few shrubs and the heads of some tall cane were 
visible above the surface of the water. 
From Gezeli to Igangwe Cove was a good day’s 
journey against the south-easter which blew strongly 
against us. Igangwe Cove penetrates about a mile

than the “ scattered and peeled ” tribes of Tongwe. 
Between Karerna and Mpimbwe Cape lies a fine 
country studded with coves and hills, square-topped 
and round. Game is abundant and easy of approach. 
A buffalo and a small red antelope were obtained by me 
here, the two shots supplying the crews with abundance 
of meat.
