And, of course, it is more fun for me to ramble around here than for him, I being so familiar with the region." He sat down beside her on the stone and gazed slowly around. "Does it look natural here?" "Yes, everything is unaltered. It seems only yesterday that I was here taking care of the Lunde flocks. But I hardly recognized you again. You have grown so large." "Do you think so?" "Yes.
On going to say good-bye to Casembe, he tried to be gracious, said that we had eaten but little of his food; yet he allowed us to go. He sent for a man to escort us; and on the 22nd December, 1867. we went to Lundé River, crossed it, and went on to sleep at the Chungu, close by the place where Casembe's court stood when Dr.
But they had to say something, so Ole remarked, as they turned and left her, "Oh, well, we 'll let him off for this one time." When Lisbeth went to fasten the gate of the fold that evening Peter Lunde came bobbing along outside the fence. "You haven't a strange sheep here, have you?" "No; I have counted mine." "Well, perhaps I counted mine wrong. Very likely they are all there."
Lisbeth had missed the boys very much, and had many a time been lonely during the last two summers, for no new herders had come from the Hoegseth or Lunde farms. At home, too, at the Hoel Farm, there had been changes among the people, and Bearhunter had become blind.
The Chungu is joined by the Kaleusi and the Mandapala before it enters Moero. Casembe said that the Lundé ran into Mofwé; others denied this, and said that it formed a marsh with numbers of pools in long grass; but it may ooze into Mofwé thus. Casembe sent three men to guide me to Moero. 24th December, 1867.
They met with birch trees again and one single warped fir tree; and from below they heard the rushing sound of a large river. They reached at last the edge of the sæter valley to which they were bound, and stood still to look down. Below them lay a comparatively level space, peaceful and green, with its three sæter huts, belonging to Hoegseth, Lunde, and Hoel farms.
The River Lundé was five miles from Chungu. It is six yards wide where we crossed it, but larger further down; springs were oozing out of its bed: we then entered on a broad plain, covered with bush, the trees being all cleared off in building a village. When one Casembe dies, the man who succeeds him invariably removes and builds his pembwé, or court, at another place: when Dr.
The Lundé forms a marsh on one side, and the Luapula lets water percolate through sand and mud, and so does the Robukwé, which makes the path often knee deep. He said he would send men to conduct me to Moero, a little further down, and added that we had got very little to eat from him, and he wanted to give more. Moero's south end is about 9° 30' S.
Lacerda died, the Casembe moved to near the north end of the Mofwé. There have been seven Casembes in all. The word means a general. The plain extending from the Lundé to the town of Casembe is level, and studded pretty thickly with red anthills, from 15 to 20 feet high. Casembe has made a broad path from his town to the Lundé, about a mile-and-a-half long, and as broad as a carriage-path.
The speaker, who was the larger of the two boys, stood awhile waiting for a reply; but Lisbeth did not know what answer to make to his remark and therefore said nothing. So he continued: "Well, we only wanted to say to you I'm Ole Hoegseth and that fellow over there is Peter Lunde that you must keep out of our way.
