Note 44 — Chapter VIII · THE MARCH BACK. THE HIPPOPOTAMUS’ HUNT. THE RETURN TO ZANZIBAR.
Reading edition
The German missionaries placed the Tanganyika Lake 600 direct geographical miles from the sea: I reduced the distance to 300. This was an error. But we had been told upon the coast that the Sea of Unyamwezi is in Unyamwezi, and the easternmost frontier of the latter region at Tura is distant 290 direct geographical miles from the seaboard of Zanzibar.
