The Malagarasi is of considerable size at its confluence, and has a large islet covered with eschinomena, or pith hat material, growing in its way.
Were it not for the current Tanganyika would be covered with green scum now rolling away in miles of length and breadth to the north; it would also be salt like its shut-in bays.

The water has now fallen two feet perpendicularly.

It took us twelve hours to ascend to the Malagarasi River from Ujiji, and only seven to go down that distance.

Prodigious quantities of confervae pass us day and night in slow majestic flow.

It is called Shuare.
