The inhabitants suffer greatly from swelled thyroid gland or Derbyshire neck and elephantiasis, and this is the rainy season and very unsafe for me.
When at the lower end of Moero we were so near Casembe that it was thought well to ascertain the length of the Lake, and see Casembe too.

We came up between the double range that flanks the east of the Lake; but mountains and plains are so covered with well-grown forest that we could seldom see it.

We reached Casembe's town on the 28th November.

It stands near the north end of the Lakelet Mofwe; this is from one to three miles broad, and some six or seven long: it is full of sedgy islands, and abounds in fish.

The country is quite level, but fifteen or twenty miles west of Mofwe we see a long range of the mountains of Rua.
