ABSTRACT

IT was now necessary to leave the Zambezi, as none of itsnumerous outlets to the sea were used by ocean steamers,so we quitted it near Vicenti, this being the nearest point to the Kwakwa River, which flows past Quelimane. A narrow strip of land separates the two rivers. 'The transport company's agent calnlly sent us across this isthuIUS with the assurance that canoes would be waiting a.t the same time as ourselves.
