Recollecting Mtesa's words that Kamrasi placed his guest on the N'yanza, I declined going to any place but the palace, which I maintained was my right, and waited for the issue, when Kajunju returned with pombe, and showed us to a small, dirty set of huts beyond the Kafu river the trunk of the Mwerango and N'yanza branches which we crossed in Uganda and trusted this would do for the present, as better quarters in the palace would be looked for on the morrow.
This rush-drain, all the natives assured me, rose in the hills to the southward not in the lake, as the Mwerango did and it was never bridged over like that river, because it was always fordable. This account seemed to me reasonable; for though so much broader in its bed than the Mwerango, it had no central, deep-flowing current.
I packed the pages off as fast as I could with some, and tried myself to follow, but my men were all either sick or out foraging, and therefore we could not get under way until the evening. It flowed into the Mwerango, but with scarcely any current at all.
