A very great deal of cotton is cultivated all along the shores of Lake Tanganyika; it is the Pernambuco kind, with the seeds clinging together, but of good and long fibre, and the trees are left standing all the year to enable them to become large; grain and ground-nuts are cultivated between them.

The cotton is manufactured into coarse cloth, which is the general clothing of all.
_14th October, 1872._--Crossed two deep gullies with sluggish water in them, and one surrounding an old stockade.

Camp on a knoll, overlooking modern stockade and Tanganyika very pleasantly.

Saw two beautiful sultanas with azure blue necks.

We might have come here yesterday, but were too tired.
