The Falls. 
a horse-shoe shape, so that, even would the 
spray allow of it, it is impossible to see more 
than two hundred to three hundred yards of 
them at the same time. It is perhaps unneces¬ 
sary to add that the iris of the Falls is peculiarly 
brilliant in the blazing sunshine. The whole 
scene is one which utterly defies description ; 
the uniqueness—to coin a word—of the Falls, 
combined with their stupendous magnificence, 
render it impossible for any words to do them 
justice ; to understand and realise one must see. 
Livingstone and, I believe, two other men, 
landed on the island on the brink of the Falls, 
and this same Sanzila, I fancy, took them to it. 
That is a sort of water trip which no one but a 
person tired of life would attempt. Sanzila is 
a most accomplished canoeistj but if he had 
happened to miss the particular point of the 
island he aimed at, the chances are that he 
would have found out the height of the Falls 
by practical experiment. 
A rather curious incident occurred while we 
were at the Falls, As we were walking down 
to them, we could, of course, hear nothing 
whatever for some time before we got to them.
