ABSTRACT

ON the fl9th of November we arrived at M'pwapwa, wherethe main portion of the party had encamped. They were thoroughly tired of waiting in that uninteresting

district. Although about ~oo miles from the coast, the natives bore most of the objectionable characteristics of asIavedepraved race. Situated on the outskirts of the Ugogo plains and forests, the neighbourhood had become a convenient halting place for all the slave caravans en route to the coast.
