But, alas! that I should have omitted to bringa sounding-line with me, and not have ascertained that highlyinteresting feature--its depth. There is very little doubt in my mindthat its bed is very deep, owing to the trough-like formation of it, and also because I have seen my crew haul up fishing-baskets, sunk inthe sea near to the shore, from very considerable depths, by longropes with trimmers attached. For the benefit of science, and as ahint to future travellers, I may mention that, had I b...rought a lead, Imight, as if by accident, have dropped it in the sea when they wereresting--have tapped the bottom, and ascertained its depth--whilst thesuperstitious crew would have only wondered in vain as to what I wasabout.
28th. --We started up coast early, and at 10 A. M. Put in amongst somereeds opposite the Luguvu river, as the wind, rain, and waves had verynearly swamped the boat, and drenched us all from head to foot. Ipitched the tent in the canoe, to protect me from the storm, but itonly served to keep the wind from blowing on my wet clothes andchilling me, for wave after wave washed over the gunwale, and kept meand all my kit constantly drenched through.
