CHAPTER XX. TO ZANZIBAR. Ankori and Karangwd—The land of fever—Frightful mortality—Lake Windermere and Kafurro—Fresh geographical discovery—Expan sion of measurement of Lake Victoria—Arrival at Msalala—First news from Europe—More fighting—Mpwapwa—A harassed march— Arrival at Bagamoyo—Conclusion. Alike from its picturesqueness and from the char acter of its population the region between Lake Albert Edward and Lake Victoria is one of the most interesting in Central Africa. It consists of a series of wide plateaux ranging from 4000 feet to 5000 feet above the level of the sea, bounded by a chain of conical peaks. This chain joins the Ruwenzori range on the north, and includes, with the Kibanga, Ankori, Mpororo, and Ruanda districts, the watershed of Lake Albert Edward on the west and Lake Victoria on the east. The highest summits along the line are Mounts Gordon Bennett and Lawson on the north, and the elevation of the Mfumbiro Mountains in the centre,
