LAKE LIEMBA, OR LUwEMBA.
During this series Of Journeys which he made in
these latitudes he came to lake lying northeast
from Cazembe's The natives called 1t Liemba, or
Luwemba, from q country Of that name which
bordered 1t on the southeast. Livingstone discov-
cred 1t to be an extensive heel or rather foot Of
the Tanganyika. BY his map the southern part of
the Tanganyika resembles the southern part Of
Italy in confguration. The extremity Of the Tan
ganyika south reaches to deg. AZ sec. south lati
tude, thus giving the lake length Of s2a geograph
ica miles, or seventy-three miles longer than Cap
tatns Burton and Speke described 1t.
FURTHER DISCOVERIES
From the Tanganyika he crossed Marcngus and
came in sight of Lake Moero. Tracing this lake,
which is about sixty miles in length, to its southern
extremity he found river entering 1t nom that
direction. Following the Luapula north, as this
river was called, he found It issued from the great
lake of Bangweolo, which Is as large in superficial
area as the Tangenyika. The most important
feeder Of this lake Is the Chambezi. We had traced
the Chambezi running north through three degrees
Of latitude. 1t could not then be the Zambezi.
BACK TO UJIJI.
He returned to King Cazembe, thence to Ujiji
whence he dated those letters to the London
Geographical Society, under whose auspices he
travels, which, though the outside world still
doubted that the traveller was alive, fully satisfied
the minds of the members OF that society. The
way In which Musa left the Doctor and what the
Doctor was doing all the time the world thought him
dead has now been

eighteen days after his arrival. So far had the
traveller gone north that he was at the beginning
OF the 1nal and certain end. Six hundred miles Of

and who were to him as escort, rose up against

THE UNDISCOVERED LINK.
That this remarkable river (the Lualaba) Is the
Nile and none other no one doubts but this one
little blank-this one little link-who will I'LL IL up?
How Will imagination fll up the void In this
blank, north OF latitude four degrees SOUTH is q
lake, 1t was reported to DR.. Livingstone-may it
not he Piaggia's lake 9--out OF which Letherick's
branch issues into the Bahr Ghazal and the White
Nile. He has followed this river from eleven de-
grees south to four degrees souththat Is, through
seven degrees Of latitude, or 400 geographical
length Of the undiscovered link-and the Nile,
which had bafled oraces and sages, kings and en-
perors, had been revealed throughout Its length.
TWO PROBLEMS REMAINING TO BE SOLVED.
According to Livingstone two things yet remain
before the Nile sources can be said to be dscov-
cred. First-He has heard Of the existence OF four
fountains, two Of which give birth to river lowing
north, which s the Luaaba, and two to q river
flowing south into inner Ethiopia. which Is the
Zambezl, thus verifying the statement which the
Secretary of the Goddess Minerva at Sais made to
Herodotus over two thousand years ago. He has
heard of them repeatedly and has been several
times within fortnights march from them, but
something always interposed to prevent him going
to see them. These fountains require to be seen.
Second-Remains the link above described to be
