Excerpt from Toro: Visits to Ruwenzori, "Mountains of the Moon"M nanja. The passage was an unusually bad one, the water being up to our armpits. However, we soon got through, and marched on a couple of hours to the garden in which we were to sleep. After a change and a cup of tea, the Muanja and mud water and reeds were forgotten. On Wednesday, April Ist, we were clue to reach Mitiana. But another swamp lay between as and our goal. The water was not so deep as the M nanja, but the mud was far more objectionable. It is, however, impos sible to live for six months in Buganda without learning to look upon swamps as necessary evils and to take them as a matter of course. The country through which we had been passing for three clays was wonderfully varied and beautiful. W'ood and forest, plantain-gardens and great sweeps of tiger-grass succeeded each other in quick regularity, and combined in forming pictures of great beauty. Our drum gave notice to Mr. Sugden of the arrival of our party, and he, with a large number of native friends, came out to meet us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
