"April l5.--The latitude of Kisoona was 2 degrees 2 minutes 36 seconds N. We started at 11 A.M. till 1 P.M., reaching Kasiga--eight miles-- through interminable forest full of fine ripe yellow plums and unripe custard apples. "April 16.--Started at 8.20 A.M. till 12--arriving at Koki--thick forest throughout the march. We passed several small villages, and made twelve miles, N. lat. 1 degree 59 minutes. I gave various seeds of European vegetables to the headman; and I myself sowed the seeds of water-melons and sweet melons in his garden, and explained their cultivation. "April 17.--All the carriers have absconded. There is extensive cultivation in this district, and the tobacco is well attended, as the tops of the plants are carefully nipped off to prevent them from running too much into stalk. "The chief, Kittakara, who is a kind of prime minister to Kabba Rega, gave me this afternoon the history of the country. "Kabba Rega is the sixteenth king since the original conquest of Unyoro by the Gallas. These invaders arrived from the East, beyond the country of the Langgos. "To this day a peculiar custom is observed. Before a new king can ascend the throne, he is compelled to sleep during two nights on the east of the Victoria Nile. He then marches along the path by which his victorious ancestor invaded Unyoro, and upon reaching the river, he takes boat and crosses to the exact landing-place where the original conqueror first set his foot upon the frontier. "April 18.--I purchased a quantity of excellent tobacco and divided it among the soldiers as a reward for their having respected the native gardens during the march. "Kittakara is the only gentleman that I have seen in the country, and he never asks for presents, thus forming an extraordinary exception to the rule of Unyoro society. "I gave him a blue blanket, a zinc mirror, a spoon, comb, and four red and yellow handkerchiefs. To Quonga I gave a tarboosh (fez), and four yards of turkey red cloth. "April 19.--Fresh carriers arrived, and we started at 10.45 A.M., and halted at 4 P.M.--twelve miles. Forest and high grass as usual throughout the route, which would render this country highly dangerous in case of hostilities. "The lofty mountains on the west shore of the Albert N'yanza are now in view about fifty miles distant. We halted at a populous district, and occupied a village at Chorobeze.
