Manyema is variously pronounced as Mani-yema, Manuema, Mani-wema, but the first is the most popular. For the spelling of the name Tanga-nika, I still maintain that that is the most correct, and that it is purer African than Tanga-ny-ika. Neither Arab, Mgwana, nor aborigine of the interior ever approached such a sound. It is pronounced the same as Amerika, Afrika, Angel-ica, Freder-ica. I have only heard one name throughout Africa resembling that which I reject, and that was Ny-ika, king of Gambaragara, pronounced Nye-ika. _Nov. 2._—Tippu-Tib arrived at Nyangwé on the 2nd of November, with a much larger force than I anticipated, for he had nearly 700 people with him. However, he explained that he was about to send some 300 of them to a country called Tata, which lies to the east of Usongora Meno. _Nov. 4._—On the 4th of November the members of the Expedition were mustered, and we ascertained that they numbered 146,[8] and that we possessed the following arms—Sniders, 29; percussion-lock muskets, 32; Winchesters, 2; double-barrelled guns, 2; revolvers, 10; axes, 68. Out of this number of sixty-four guns, only forty were borne by trustworthy men; the others were mere pagazis, who would prefer becoming slaves to fighting for their freedom and lives. At the same time they were valuable as porters, and faithful to their allotted duties and their contract when not enticed away by outside influences or fear. The enormous force that Tippu-Tib brought to Nyangwé quite encouraged them, and when I asked them if they were ready to make good their promise to me at Zanzibar and Muta Nzigé lake, they replied unanimously in the affirmative. ----- Footnote 8: This number was finally increased by the addition of six stout young fellows from Nyangwé, which made our total number of men, women, and children (sons of the Wangwana, from Zanzibar), 154. ----- “Then to-night, my friends,” said I, “you will pack up your goods, and to-morrow morning at the first hour let me see you in line before my house ready to start.” CHAPTER V. Tippu-Tib’s henchmen—In the primeval forest, a wilderness of trees—Primitive furniture—Our sufferings in the pagans’ forest—Tippu-Tib breaks down—A village blacksmith—Soko skulls; the missing link—Professor Huxley’s opinion thereon—THE LIVINGSTONE—A day dream—The road to the ocean—Timid counsels—“The Wasambye!”—“Ooh- hu! ooh-hu!”—Successful diplomacy. _Nov. 5._—When, on the 5th of November, 1876, we had left Nyangwé behind us, and had ascended an elevated grassy ridge, we saw before us a black curving wall of forest, which, beginning from the river bank, extended south-east, until hills and distance made it indistinct.
