zambezi is Donbazi. When Lacuda ana his Portu-
guese successors came to Cazembe crossed the
ChambeA and heard its name. they very naturally
set 1t down as tour own zambezi" and without
further inquiry sketched 1t as running In that direc

LIEMBA A SPUR OF rANaANYrRA.
During his researchesff that region % pregnant
in discoveries Livingstone came to a lake lying
northeast OF Cazembe, which the natives called
Liemba, from the country OF that name which
b0rdcred it on the east and south. In tracing tho
lake no. tn he found 1t to be none other than tho
Tanganyika, or the southeastern extremity Of Il,
which looks on the Doctors map very much like an
outline OF Italy. The latitude Of the southern end
of this great body Of water is about nine degrees
south, which gives it thus length, from north to
south. Of $50 geographical miles.
THE LUAPULA.
From the southern extremity Of the TanganyikN
ne crossed Marungu and came in sight OF Lake
MOer0. Tracing this lake, which Ia about sixty
miles in length, to It's southern head he found .
river called the Luapula entering it from that d.
rection. Following the Luapula south he found it
issue from the large lake of Bangweolo, which il
as large In superficial area as the Tanganyika. In
exploring for the waters which emptied into tho
lake he found by far tho most impOr-
tant OF these feeders was the Chambezi.
So that he had thus traced the Chambezi
from its source to Lake Bangwe0lO, and issue
from its northern head under the name Of Luapula,
and found 1t enter Lake Micro. Again he returned
to Cazembis well satisfied that the river running
north through three degrees OF latitude could not
be the river running south under the name OF the
Zambezi, though there might be remarkable re-
sembialce in their Names
M0HAMMED BEN sALIH.
At Cazembis he found an old white bearded half.
caste named M0hammed ben Saith, who was kept
as kind of prisoner at large by the King because
of certain suspicious circumstances attending his
advent and stay in his country. Through
Livingstone's influence Mohammed ben
Salih obtained his release. On tho
road to Ujiji he had bitter to regret having
exerted himself in the halfcaste's behalf He
turned out to be q most ungrsteful wretch, who
poisoned the minds Of the Doctors few followers
and ingratiated himself In their favor by selling
the avors of his concubines to them thus reducing
them to . kind of bondage under him. From tho
day he had the vile old man in his company mani
fold and bitter mlsf0rtunes followed the Doctor up
to his arrival in Ujiji, in March, 1859.
HE WRITES TO CIVILIZATION.
From the date Of his arrival until the end OF
June 1880 he remained in UJiji, whence he dated
those letters which, though the outside world still
doubted his being alive, satisfied the minds of tho
Royal Geographical people and his intimate friends
that he was alive, and Musa's tale an ingenious but
false fabrication of q c0wardly deserter. 1t was
during this time that the thought occurred to him
OF sailing around the Lake Tanganylka but the
Arabs and natives were so bent upon fleeing him
that, had he undertaken it the remainder Of his
goods would not have enabled him to explore the
central line OF drainage, the initial point OF
which he found far south Of Cazembis, In about
latitude II degrees, in the river Chambez In the
days when tired Captain Burton was resting in
Ujij after his march from the coast near Zanzibar,
the land to which Livingstone, on his departure
from Ujul, bent his steps, was unknown to the
Arabs save by vague report. Messrs. Burton and
Spoke never heard OF 1t, it seems. Spoke, who was
the geographer of Burtons expedition, heard of 9
place called Uruwa, which he placed on his map &C
cording to the general direction indicated by the
Arabs; but the most enterprising Of the Arabs In
their search alter ivory, only touched the frontiers
OF Rua, as the natives and Livingstone call 1t for
Rua is an immense country, with length OF six
degrees oflatitude and as yet an underlined breadth
from east to west
HE STARTS From UJIJI AGAIN.
At the end Of June 1869, Livingstone took dh0te
at Ujiji and crossed to Uguhha on the western
Shore for his last and greatest series OF explcra-
lions, the results Of which was the discovery OF .
series of lakes of great magnitude connected to-
gether by large river called by different names az
It left one lake to now to another From the port
OF Uguhha he set Off In company with q body Of
traders In an almost direct westerly course,
through the lake country Of Uguhha. Fifteen days
march brought them to Bambarre, the flrst import
ant ivory depot In Manyema, or, as the natives
pronounce 1t, Manuyema.
AT BAMBARRE
For nearly six months he was detained
at Bambarre from ulcers in the feet with
copious discharges Of bloody ichor oozng from the
sores as soon as he set his feet on the ground.
When well, he set on in q northerly direction, and
after several days, came to broad, lacustrine
river, called the Lualaba, flowing northward and
westward, and in some places southwark, in Q
most confusing way. The river was from one to
three miles broad. BY exceeding pertlnacity he
contrved to follow its erratic course until nc saw
the Lualaba enter the narrow but lengthy Lake Of
Kamolondo, in about latitude deg. 80 min. south.
Retracing 1t south he came to the point where he
had seen the Luapua enter Lake Moero.
THE SCENERY OF LAKE MOERO.
| One feels quite enthusiastic when listening u
Livingstone's description Of the beauties Of Moero
scenery. Pent in on all sides by high mountains
clothed to their tips with the richest vege-
tation OF the tropics, Moero discharges its
supernuous waters through deep rent In
the bosom OF the mountains. The impetuous
and grand river roars through the chasm
with the thunder OF cataract but soon after leav-
ing Its confined and deep bed 1t expands into the
calm and broad Misunderstanding over miles Of
ground, making great bends west and south.
west, then, curving northward, enters
Kamalordo. By the natives II Is called the
Luaaba but the Doctor, in order to distinguish 10
from other rivers Of the same name, has given is
the name OF webb's River, after Mr.. Webb, the
wealthy proprietor Of Newstead Abbey whom the
Doctor distinguishes as one Of his oldest and NOSE
consistent friends. Away to the southwest from
Kamolondo is another large lake, which discharges
Its waters by the important river Lock-, or Lo.
