The people are Babisa, who have fled from the west and are busy catching fish in basket traps.
_15th January, 1873._--Found that Chungu had let us go astray towards the Lake, and into an angle formed by the Mpande and Lopopussi, and the Lake-full of rivulets which are crossed with canoes.

Chisupa, a headman on the other side of the Mpanda, sent a present and denounced Chungu for heartlessness.

We explained to one man our change of route and went first N.E., then E.to the Monsinga, which we forded again at a deep place full of holes and rust-of-iron water, in which we floundered over 300 yards.

We crossed a sponge thigh deep before we came to the Mosinga, then on in flat forest to a stockaded village; the whole march about east for six hours.
_16th January, 1873._--Away north-east and north to get out of the many rivulets near the Lake back to the River Lopopussi, which now looms large, and must be crossed in canoes.

We have to wait in a village till these are brought, and have only got 1-3/4 hour nearly north.
We were treated scurvily by Chungu.
