He said that I was welcome to his country; all were so: I had better wait two days till he had selected a _good_ man as a guide, and he would send some food for me to eat in the journey--he would not say ten days, but only two, and his man would take me to the smaller part of the Lake, and leave others to forward me to the greater or Bangweolo.

The smaller part is named Bemba, but that name is confusing, because Bemba is the name of the country in which a portion of the Lake lies.

When asking for Lake Bemba, Kasongo's son said to me, "Bemba is not a lake, but a country:" it is therefore better to use the name BANGWEOLO, which is applied to the great mass of the water, though I fear that our English folks will bogle at it, or call it Bungyhollow! Some Arabs say Bambeolo as easier of pronunciation, but Bangweolo is the correct word.
