Between this range and Mofwe the Luapula flows past into Moero, the Lake called Moero okata = the great Moero, being about fifty miles long.

The town of Casembe covers a mile square of cassava plantations, the huts being dotted over that space.
Some have square enclosures of reeds, but no attempt has been made at arrangement: it might be called a rural village rather than a town.

No estimate could be formed by counting the huts, they were so irregularly planted, and hidden by cassava; but my impression from other collections of huts was that the population was under a thousand souls.

The court or compound of Casembe--some would call it a palace--is a square enclosure of 300 yards by 200 yards.

It is surrounded by a hedge of high reeds.
