CHAPTER VI
40/68

Nyabungu is chief of Mutumbe.

Luhinga is the most intelligent and the frankest chief we have seen here.
_29th November, 1871._--We go to see the Lusize Eiver in a canoe.

The mouth is filled with large reedy sedgy islets: there are three branches, about twelve to fifteen yards broad, and one fathom deep, with a strong current of 2' per hour: water discoloured.

The outlet of the Lake is probably by the Longumba River into Lualaba as the Luamo, but this as yet must be set down as a "theoretical discovery." _30th November, 1871._--A large present of eggs, flour, and a sheep came from Mukamba.

Mr.Stanley went round to a bay in the west, to which the mountains come sheer down.
_1st December, 1871, Friday._--Latitude last night 3 deg.
