Perembe, the oldest man now in Lunda, had children even then: if Perembe were thirty years of age at that period he would now be 102 years old, and he seems quite that, for when Dr.Lacerda came he had forty children.

He says that Pereira fired off all his guns on his arrival, and Casembe asking him what he meant by that, he replied, "These guns ask for slaves and ivory," both of which were liberally given.
I could not induce Perembe to tell anything of times previous to his own.

Moendo-mondo, the world's leg (Pereira), told Dr.Lacerda that the natives called him "The Terror!"-- a bit of vanity, for they have no such word or abstract term in their language.
When Major Monteiro was here the town of Casembe was on the same spot as now, but the Mosumba, or enclosure of the chief, was about 500 yards S.E.of the present one.

Monteiro went nowhere and did nothing, but some of his attendants went over to the Luapula, some six miles distant.

He complains in his book of having been robbed by the Casembe of the time.
