ofJkerewo Island until we came to the tabular topped
bufr of Malta (Speke mscaIled this Malta Mazitb
and termed II island) in longitude 33 deg. min 45
sec east and latitude deg so min. south, whence tho
land begins trend northward OF North OF Kashzu
in Ukerewe lies the large island Of Ukura which gives
its with natives to that part Of the lake y
ing between 1t and Ukerewe II about eighteen miles
long by twelve wide and is inhabited people strong
in charms and magic medicine. From Majlta we pass
on again to the north shore of Shashi whose south
coast is bounded by speke Gulf and beyond shashi we
come to the nrst district in Ururi.
Ururi extends from shashi in latitude ! deg
SO min south, to latitude 0 dog 40 min. sec.
south, and embraces the districts OF Wye, Irieni,
Urieri, Igeng, Kutir, Shrau and Mohuru Its
coast is indented most remarkably with bays and
creeks which extend far inland East Of the
immediate coast line the country is level pain which
is drained by important river called shirati. All
other streams which issue into the lake along the
coast Of Ururi are Insignificant
North OF Shirat the most northern district Of Ururi
begins the country Of Ugeyeya whose bold and noun
famous shores form strong contrast to the flats OF
shirati and Moluru Here are mountains rising
abruptly from the lake to height of 1900 feet and
more This coast is also very crooked and irregular,
requiring patient and aborous rowing to investigate

suspicious race much vexed by their neghbors, the
waruri south, and Wamasu east and loath to talk
to strangers Arab slave dealers of Pangan have
not taught them to love people carrying guns.
Tho wageyeya having been troubled by the Waruri,
have left many miles OF wilderness between their
try and that OF their fierce neghbors uninhabited But
sungoro the agent Of Mse Saba, who prompted the
Waruri to many devilish act and has purchased the
human spoils is constructing in Ukerewe a dhow Of
twenty or thirty burden with which he intends TO
prosecute more actively his nefarious trade Nothing
would have pleased me better than to have been com
missioned by some government to hang all such
wretches wherever found and If ever pirate deserved
death for nhuman crimes, Sungoro, the slave trader,
deserves death. Kagehyi in Usukuma has become the
seat Of the nhuman slave trade To this part they
collected from sima, hagu Uksrewe, Ururi and Uge-
yoya; and when Sungoro has hoated his dhow and
hosted his bloodstained ensign the great sin will in
crease tenfod, and the caravan road to Unyanyembe
win become hels highway
ON the coast OF Ugeyoya expected 10 discover q
channel TO another lake. as there might be grain Of
truth in what the wanguana reported to ,Lvingstone
but found nothing Of the Sort except unusually doep
bends in the Shore which led nowhere The streams
were Insignificant undescrving the name OF rivers
