- W4240633981 abstract "AT the meeting of the Geographical Society on Monday last, Sir T. Fowell Buxton, after a few explanatory observations, read an account of a visit to the famous Lukuga creek in May, 1879, by Mr. E. C. Hore, of the London Missionary Society's station on Lake Tanganyika. The result of Mr. Hore's trip from Ujiji across the lake is believed to be the vindication of Cameron's theory that the Lukuga creek was the long-sought outlet of Lake Tanganyika. From the Kiyanja ridge Mr. Hore saw the Lukuga, flowing westwards with a rapid stream, on its way to join the Congo, until it became lost to view among the hills of Kwa, Mekito, and Kalumbi's, in Urua. Mr. Hore, it is well to add, was well qualified for the investigation of this matter, being well acquainted with currents, &c., from his former experience when in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company; he is now surveyor and scientific officer attached to the Mission station at Ujiji. Commander Cameron stated to the meeting at some length the history of Lake Tanganyika, from its discovery by Burton, and gave in detail the various theories regarding its outlet. Dr. Emil Holub followed with an address on the Marutse-Mabunda empire in South Central Africa. This empire is of recent formation out of two peoples, the Marutse and the Mabunda, who inhabit the Zambesi region near the confluence of the Chobe with that river, and have their capital at Shesheke. After a few remarks on their geographical position and the neighbouring tribes, Dr. Holub addressed himself to the ethnographical side of his subject, and gave many interesting particulars respecting the people and their manners and customs. Among their peculiarities, as distinguished from other South African tribes, the more noteworthy are a belief in a supreme being and in a life after death, and the respect and consideration in which women are held." @default.
