Our return path was much nearer the Zambesi than that of our ascent, in fact, as near as the rough country would allow, but we left it twice before we reached Sinamane's, in order to see Kalunda and a Fall called Moomba, or Moamba.
The word Bombaya, however, struck the ear of the native boatmen, who pointed in the direction which they themselves were steering, and called out "Mombay! Mombay!" This word, I am told by an oriental scholar, is a corruption of Moomba-devy, or the Goddess of Moomba, from an idol to which a temple is still dedicated on the island.
