| tude 4 deg. l min. south, Longitude
"a deg. 16 min. east, but this wide
difference may be due to the careless
ness of the draughtsman. Those who feel
interested in it should compare it with
the latest map issued by Stanford or the
map published with the travellers last jour
mails. The distance the Congo has flowed
from its extreme source in Eastern Bisa to
Nyangwe Manyema is about eleven hundred
miles. Lake Ulenge / inquired very
industriously for, but am unable
to confirm what Livingstone appears
to have heard from Abed-bin-Salem and
Mohammed- -bin-Said, his informants. Ka-
malondo River, which runs through Rua to
the Lualaba, is lacustrine river, and am
told it has several small lakes in it's course.
Probably Ulenge may be name given to,
one of these small lakes.
ITS MANY NAMES
At Nangwe, Manyema, the Congo is dis
tinguished by various names The Arabs
and Wanguana call it the Ugarowa the
Wagubha carriers pronounce the mama
Ludlaba, emphasizing the second syllable.
The natives of Nyangwe, also emphasizing
the second syllable, call it Lu-alawa, while
the Northern Wagenya distinctly pronounce
the name as Ru-arowa. To prevent confu.
sion, however, it is best to adopt the
spelling given by the European dis
coverer of the rive--viz., Lualaba A few
hours north of Nyangwe the Lualaba in.
clines east of north. 1t meets impcdiments.
High spurs from the Uregga Hills bristls
across the river and wild scenes Of falls and
foamy water meet the eye. Near these cat.
aracts very impracticable savages are found,
who resent in ferocious manner the ap-
pearance of strangers. Arabs have paid
terribly for their intrusion.
ASSORTED TRIBES
Along the river banks on both .xties
dwell the fishermen, called Wagenya by
the Arabs, and Wenya-p pronounced Wainya
by themselves-a most singular tribe,
singularly cowardly, but also singu-
larly treacherous and crafty, and utterly
impenetrable to tho usual ssoft SOAP"
''sugar and honey" STYLE North of Uvinza
is powerful tribe Of another kind, of SUI
perior mettle not habitually cannibalistic,
but very aggressive. Each time Arabs have
ventured to enter their region they have
met with decided repulse This tribe ia
called by the Arabs Warongora Memo, by
themselves Wabroire. They inhabit large
extent of country on the right bank. On
the loft bank are still the Wagcnya, which.
as you proceed west, introduce you to ths
warlike Dakusu, whore, at all hours. the
traveller must be man of action. Upon
these gentry the approaches of a whole
congress of bishops and missionaries
could have no effect, except as native
''roast beef" The Lualaba you hear now
in plain accents called Ruwarowa. It still
/ y
begins to receive great atiluents, the prin-
cipal of which along tho right bank are tho
Kankora On the left bank are the Ruiki,
the Kasuka and the Sumami, though there
are scores Of creeks and streams constantly
visible as you proceed down river from
either bank
THE WATERSHED.
For o thorough comprehension of the SUBJ
ject without fatigue Of study, you must
understand that from the moment the Congo
issues from Lake Bemba, or Bangweolo, it
skirts, OF a distance of two hundred miles or
SO, the mountain chain which shuts in the
Tanganyika on thejwest, and-as if its bed
was related to the same system by which tho
great lakes, Nyassa Tanganyika and the AL
bert, aro disposed-it still.clngs to the base
of that extraordinary mountain region long
after il has left the parallel Of latitude OF
the north end of Lake Tanganyika. BY q
series Of powerful nffluents it drains tho
entire western versant Of the lake regions
as far north as deg. north latitude, while
along the counterslope torrents and unim.
portant streams find their steep course to
the lakes Albert, Kivu and Tanganyika.
