49/68 I was storm-stayed in Kifwe Bay, which is very beautiful--still as a millpond. We found 12 or 13 hippopotami near a high bank, but did not kill any, for our balls are not hardened. It is high rocky tree-covered shore, with rocks bent and twisted wonderfully; large slices are worn off the land with hillsides clad with robes of living green, yet very, very steep. We had to coast along to the south. Saw a village nearly afloat, the people having there taken refuge from their enemies. |
