Arriving late one afternoon at a small village on the lake, a number of the inhabitants manned two canoes, took out their seine, dragged it, and made us a present of the entire haul.

The northern chief, Marenga, a tall handsome man, with a fine aquiline nose, whom we found living in his stockade in a forest about twenty miles north of the mountain Kowirwe, behaved like a gentleman to us.

His land extended from Dambo to the north of Makuza hill.

He was specially generous, and gave us bountiful presents of food and beer.

"Do they wear such things in your country ?" he asked, pointing to his iron bracelet, which was studded with copper, and highly prized.
The Doctor said he had never seen such in his country, whereupon Marenga instantly took it off, and presented it to him, and his wife also did the same with hers.
