It is three or four miles long, by from one to one and a half broad, and communicates with the Lake by an arm of good depth, but with some rocks in it.

As we passed up between the Lake and the eastern shore of this lakelet, we did not see any streams flowing into it.

It is quite remarkable for the abundance of fish; and we saw upwards of fifty large canoes engaged in the fishery, which is carried on by means of hand-nets with side-frame poles about seven feet long.

These nets are nearly identical with those now in use in Normandy--the difference being that the African net has a piece of stick lashed across the handle-ends of the side poles to keep them steady, which is a great improvement.

The fish must be very abundant to be scooped out of the water in such quantities as we saw, and by so many canoes.
