South of Sanga-Tanga, lay a thin line of deeper 
blue, Fetish Point, the eastern projection of Cape 
Lopez Bay. From Mbango’s Town it is easy to 
see the western headland, Cape Lopez, whose low 
outliers of sand and trees gain slowly but surely

visit until a more favourable time, and—that time 
never came. 
Cape Lopez is said to have considerable advan¬ 
tages for developing trade, but the climate appears 
adverse. A large Catholic mission, described by 
Barbot, was established here by the Portuguese : 
as in the Congo, nothing physical of it remains.
