between.

Again, Liemba is 3000 feet above the sea. The altitude of Nyassa is
1200/x800 feet. Tanganyika would thus go to Nyassa--down the Shire
into the Zambesi and the sea, if a passage existed even below ground.

The large Lake, said to exist to the north-west of Tanganyika might,
however, send a branch to the Nile; but the land rises up into a high
ridge east of this Lake.

It is somewhat remarkable that the impression which intelligent
Suaheli, who have gone into Karagwe, have received is, that the
Kitangule flows from Tanganyika into Lake Ukerewe. One of Syde bin
Omar's people put it to me very forcibly the other day by saying,
"Kitangule is an arm of Tanganyika!" He had not followed it out; but
that Dagara, the father of Rumanyika, should have in his lifetime
seriously proposed to deepen the upper part of it, so as to allow
canoes to pass from his place to Ujiji, is very strong evidence of the
river being large on the Tanganyika side. We know it to be of good
size, and requiring canoes on the Ukerewe side. Burton came to the
very silly conclusion that when a native said a river ran one way, he
meant that it flowed in the opposite direction. Ujiji, in Rumanyika's
time, was the only mart for merchandise in the country. Garaganza or
Galaganza has most trade and influence now. (_14th Sept., 1868._)

Okara is the name by which Victoria Nyanza is known on the eastern
side, and an arm of it, called Kavirondo, is about forty miles broad.
Lake Baringo is a distinct body of water, some fifty miles broad, and
giving off a river called Ngardabash, which flows eastwards into the
Somauli country. Lake Naibash is more to the east than Kavirondo, and
about fifty miles broad too: it gives off the River Kidete, which is
supposed to flow into Lufu. It is south-east of Kavirondo; and
Kilimanjaro can be seen from its shores; in the south-east Okara,
Naibash and Baringo seem to have been run by Speke into one Lake.
Okara, in the south, is full of large islands, and has but little
water between them; that little is encumbered with aquatic vegetation
called "Tikatika," on which, as in lakelet Gumadona, a man can walk.
Waterlilies and duckweed are not the chief part of this floating mass.
In the north Okara is large. Burukinegge land is the boundary between
the people of Kavirondo and the Gallahs with camels and horses.
