One of these was called Mokola, and another had a strong odour of sulphuretted hydrogen.

We reached Molamba on the 8th September, and found our old acquaintance, Nkomo, there still.

One of the advantages of travelling along the shores of the Lake was, that we could bathe anywhere in its clear fresh water.
To us, who had been obliged so often to restrain our inclination in the Zambesi and Shire for fear of crocodiles, this was pleasant beyond measure.

The water now was of the same temperature as it was on our former visit, or 72 degrees Fahr.

The immense depth of the Lake prevents the rays of the sun from raising the temperature as high as that of the Shire and Zambesi; and the crocodiles, having always clear water in the Lake, and abundance of fish, rarely attack man; many of these reptiles could be seen basking on the rocks.
A day's march beyond Molamba brought us to the lakelet Chia, which lies parallel with the Lake.
