We have, for the first time in my experience in Africa, had a cold wind from the north.

All the winds from that quarter are hot, and those from the south are cold, but they seldom blow from either direction.

We were glad to get away, though not on account of any scarcity of food; for my men, by giving small presents of meat as an earnest of their sincerity, formed many friendships with the people of Katema.
We went about four or five miles in a N.N.W.direction, then two in a westerly one, and came round the small end of Lake Dilolo.

It seemed, as far as we could at this time discern, to be like a river a quarter of a mile wide.

It is abundantly supplied with fish and hippopotami; the broad part, which we did not this time see, is about three miles wide, and the lake is almost seven or eight long.
