[The Last Journals of David Livingstone, in Central Africa, from 1865 to His Death, Volume I (of 2), 1866-1868 by David Livingstone]@TWC D-Link bookThe Last Journals of David Livingstone, in Central Africa, from 1865 to His Death, Volume I (of 2), 1866-1868 CHAPTER X 7/58
Munongo is a brother of Perembe, and he owns the country east of the Kalongosi: if any one wished to cultivate land he would apply to these aboriginal chiefs for it. I asked a man from Casembe to guide me to south end of Moero, but he advised me not to go as it was so marshy.
The Lunde forms a marsh on one side, and the Luapula lets water percolate through sand and mud, and so does the Robukwe, which makes the path often knee deep.
He said he would send men to conduct me to Moero, a little further down, and added that we had got very little to eat from him, and he wanted to give more.
Moero's south end is about 9 deg.
30' S. Old Perembe is a sensible man: Mohamad thinks him 150 years old.
