AFRICA AND ITS EXPLORATION. 
Mozima, and in ‘ How I Found Livingstone ’ I called it 
the island Muzimu. 
The end of the isthmus is distinguished by two or 
three palms, which served us as a landmark when we 
had voyaged round into the gulf of the western side. 
It is also indented with two or three deep bays. 
Near Karamba Cape, south latitude 4° 29', the land 
again rises into a ridge about 1500 feet above the lake, 
and runs north from the southern cape to Panza Point, 
a distance of twenty-seven miles. Some very fine 
mountain scenes are presented here also, but after 
stupendous Goma they appear almost tame and common- 
place. 
Near the little round island of Muzimu, or the Spirit, 
we made a very comfortable camp near a fine gravel 
beach. The photograph of the Spirit Island given 
opposite suffices for description. 
The Wabwari are by no means a handsome race : nor 
indeed are the Wavira, AVagoma, or Wabembe (cannibals) ; 
but they are all industrious tribes, and the Wabwari, 
though somewhat ready to take offence, are very much 
liked by all. They cultivate an enormous quantity of 
cassava, or manioc, and at this season the flat rocks 
were strewn with the sliced root. Dried whitebait is 
another article of commerce, and bags of millet are 
exchanged with the Warundi on the other side for 
palm-oil and butter, and with the Wajiji for cloth and 
beads. 
On the 27th we rounded Panza Point, and skirted 
the much-indented western side of Ubwari, until we 
reached the extreme southern reach of Burton Gulf.* 
At evening we camped in a tiny creek, near a grassy 
ridge, undisturbed. In the morning I ascended the 
ridge, and took bearings of Missossi Mount, Kiringi 
Cape, Karamba Cape, and by aid of the palms on the 
isthmus was able to identify the position. AVe rested 
until noon, and obtained south latitude 4° 22'. As 
Panza Point, the north end of Ubwari. is in south 
* So named after Captain Richard Francis Burton, the commander of 
the Burton and Speke Expedition, which first discovered Lake Tanganika.
