what Burton and S p ek e called Ubwari Island,
and what Livingstone and I called Muzimu Island.
Doubtless there were many , portions o f Livingstone’s
route overland which rendered the coastline
somewhat obscure, and in his hurried journey
to Ujiji in 1869, b y canoe from Mompara’s
to Kasenge, a portion o f the Uguha coast was
left unexplored. But it is Livingstone who was
the first to map out and give a tolerably cpr-
rect configuration to that part o f Lake Tanga-
nika extending from Urimba round to the south
end and up along the eastern shore to Kasenge
Island, as it was Burton and Speke who were
the first to map out that portion o f the Tanga-
nika extending from Ujiji to a point nearly
opposite Ubwari and the north-west, from Ubwa-
ri’s north end as far as Uvira.
In February 1874, Lieutenant Verney Lovett
Cameron, R. N., arrived at the same village o f
Ujiji which had been seen b y Burton and Speke
in 1858, and which was known as the place
where I discovered Livingstone in 1872. He
had traversed a route rendered familiar to thousands
o f the readers o f the ‘L ak e Regions o f
Central Africa,’ the ‘Journal o f the Discovery
o f the Nile,’ and ‘How I Found Livingstone,’
through a country carefully mapped, surveyed
and described. But the land that lay , before
him westerly had only been begun b y Livingstone,
and there were great and important fields
o f exploration beyond the farthest point he had
reached.
Lieutenant Cameron procured two canoes,
turned south, and coasted along the eastern
shore o f the Tanganika, and when near the
southern end o f the Lake, crossed it, turned up
north along the western shore, and discovered
a narrow channel, between two spits o f pure
white sand. Entering this channel, the Lukuga
creek, he traced it until farther progress was.
stopped b y an immovable and impenetrable
barrier o f papyrus. This channel, Lieutenant
Cameron wrote, was the outlet o f L ak e Tanganika.
Satisfied with his discovery, he withdrew
from the channel, pursued his course along the
west coast as far as Kasenge Island, the cariip-
ing place o f both Sp ek e and Livingstone, and
returned direct to Ujiji without making further
effort.
Lake Tanganika, as will be seen, upon Lieutenant
Camerons departure, had its entire coast-,
line described; excep t the extreme south end,,
the mouth o f the Lufuvu and that portion of
coast lying between Kasenge Island and the
northern point o f Ubwari, about 140 miles in
extent.
