PART II. 
THE CATARACTS OF THE CONGO. 
“ Alii o mui grande reino esta de Congo, 
Por nos ja convertido a fe de Christo, 
Por onde o Zaire passa claro e longo, 
Rio pelos antiguos nunca visto.” 
“ Here lies the Congo kingdom, great and strong. 
Already led by us to Christian ways; 
Where flows Zaire, the river-clear and long, 
A stream unseen by men of olden days.” 
The Lusiads, v. 13.
