The Loeti, a branch of which is called Langebongo, comes from W.N.W., through a level grassy plain named Mango; it is about one hundred yards wide, and enters the Leeambye from the west; the waters of the Loeti are of a light color, and those of the Leeba of a dark mossy hue.

After the Loeti joins the Leeambye the different colored waters flow side by side for some distance unmixed.
Before reaching the Loeti we came to a number of people from the Lobale region, hunting hippopotami.

They fled precipitately as soon as they saw the Makololo, leaving their canoes and all their utensils and clothing.
My own Makalaka, who were accustomed to plunder wherever they went, rushed after them like furies, totally regardless of my shouting.

As this proceeding would have destroyed my character entirely at Lobale, I took my stand on a commanding position as they returned, and forced them to lay down all the plunder on a sand-bank, and leave it there for its lawful owners.
It was now quite evident that no healthy location could be obtained in which the Makololo would be allowed to live in peace.

I had thus a fair excuse, if I had chosen to avail myself of it, of coming home and saying that the "door was shut", because the Lord's time had not yet come.
