FEBRUARY 27TH.

Kangenke promptly furnished guides this morning, so we went briskly on a short distance, and came to a part of the Kasye, Kasai, or Loke, where he had appointed two canoes to convey us across.
This is a most beautiful river, and very much like the Clyde in Scotland.

The slope of the valley down to the stream is about five hundred yards, and finely wooded.

It is, perhaps, one hundred yards broad, and was winding slowly from side to side in the beautiful green glen, in a course to the north and northeast.

In both the directions from which it came and to which it went it seemed to be alternately embowered in sylvan vegetation, or rich meadows covered with tall grass.
The men pointed out its course, and said, "Though you sail along it for months, you will turn without seeing the end of it." While at the ford of the Kasai we were subjected to a trick, of which we had been forewarned by the people of Shinte.
