catch a farewell glimpse of those refreshing
views which we had admired, and we see thaf
distance has already transformed them into a
long blue hazy outline.
We sailed all day within a stone's-throw of
the shore of Goma, and in the evening put in
at Kaganza, just north of Kiringi Point.

islet Mozima, and in ‘How I Found Livingstone’
I called it the island Muzimu. /
The end of the isthmus, is distinguished by
two or three palms, which served us as a landmark
when we had voyaged round into the
gulf of the western side. It is also indented
with two of three deep bays.
Near Karamba Cape, south latitude 40 29', the
land again rises into a ridge about 1500 feet
above the lake, and runs north from the southern
cape to Panza Point, a distance of twenty-seven
miles. Some very fine mountain scenes are
presented here also, but after stupendous Goma
they appear almost tame and commonplace.
Near the little round island of Muzimu, or the
Spirit, we made a very comfortable camp near
a fine gravel beach.
The Wabwari are by no means a handsome
race: nor indeed are the Wavira, Wagoma, or
Wabembe (cannibals); but they are all industrious
tribes, and the Wabwari, though somewhat ready
to take offence, are very much liked by all.
They cultivate an enormous quantity of cassava,
or manioc, and at this season the flat rocks
were strewn with the sliced root. Dried whitebait
is another article of commerce, and bags of
millet are exchanged with the Warundi on the
other side for palm-oil and butter, and with the
Wajiji for cloth and beads.
On the 26th we rounded Panza Point, and
