[118] According to the _Catalogo dos Governadores_, p. 356, the Governor died in Quissama. He was succeeded by his captain-major, Manuel Cerveira Pereira, and it was he who, on August 10, 1603, defeated Cafuxe, in the bloody battle to which reference is made in the text. Battell’s Angoykayongo is undoubtedly identical with the _Agoacaiongo_ of an anonymous account of the _Establimentos e Resgates Portuguezes_ (1607), published by L. Cordeira. He was a Christian chief; and a captain-major, with a detachment of cavalry, was stationed at his village to keep Quissama in order. [119] See note, p. 27. [120] Queen Elizabeth died April 3, 1603; but peace with Spain was only concluded on August 19, 1604. [121] João de Araujo e Azevedo was the officer left in command at Cambambe. [122] That is S. Salvador. [123] Ngongo, according to Cavazzi (p. 521), is a place on the road from Sundi to Batta, where Girolamo da Montesarchio destroyed the heathen images. This place possibly corresponds to the modern Gongo, a station on the Stanley Pool Railway. Cadornega has a Gongo de Bata, which figures on Dapper’s map as Congo de Bata, and lies to the west of the Mbanza of Bata. It is impossible to tell which of these places was visited by Battell; possibly he passed through both. [124] The Mbanza or chief town of Mbata, or Batta, still exists in 8° S., long. 15° E. Bentley (_Pioneering_, vol. ii, p. 404) passed through it, and discovered a huge wooden cross, a relic of the ancient missionaries. [125] D. Manuel Cerveira Pereira had assumed government at the beginning of 1603, and three years would conveniently carry us to 1606. The “new” Governor, D. Manuel Pereira Forjaz, was, however, only nominated on August 2, 1607. [126] See note, p. 11. [127] Nkoko, a large grey antelope. [128] Impalanca, _Palanga_, or _Mpalanga_, an antelope (_Hippotragus equinus_). [129] This is an electric silurus called _nsõmbo_, plur. _sinsombo_, by the natives. Fishermen dread its electrical discharges, but value its flesh (Pechuel-Loesche, _Die Loango Expedition_, vol. iii, p. 282). This fish, Mr. Dennett tells me, is the “xina” (taboo) of women, generally speaking, which may account for the word becoming a generic name for fish, as in Unyamwezi, Ugogo, and other countries, if vocabularies can be trusted. [130] See note, p. 21. [131] This is Red Point, or Ponta Vermelha, where there is a grove of palms. [132] Kabinda, 5° 31´ S., on a fine bay. [133] The river Kakongo, or Chiloango, enters the sea in lat. 5° 9´ S. to the north of Landana. It is a very considerable river, and its waters discolour the sea for seven miles. [134] Mbale, according to Bentley, is the coast region between the Congo and Ambrisette; but on Pigafetta’s map (1591) a town, Monbales, is shown to the south-east of the chief place of Sonho (Sonyo). [135] Pinda, or Mpinda, in Sonyo, is below the Mbanza of Sonyo, which on modern maps figures as St. Antonio.
