I took lunars several times on both sides of the moon, and have written a despatch for Lord Clarendon, besides a number of private letters. 3rd September, 1866. Went down to confluence of the Misinjé and came to many of the eatable insect "kungu," they are caught by a quick motion of the hand holding a basket.
The land's end running south of Masantu's village is the entrance to the Luapula: the clearest eye cannot see across it there. I saw clouds as if of grass burning, but they were probably "Kungu," an edible insect, whose masses have exactly the same appearance as they float above and on the water.
A wife ran away, I asked how many he had; he told me twenty in all: I then thought he had nineteen too many. He answered with the usual reason, "But who would cook for strangers if I had but one?" We saw clouds of "kungu" gnats on the Lake; they are not eaten here.
