RETURN TO WADELAI. 185 until towards evening, when we neared Boki’s village. We were soon so far from the eastern shores that it was impossible to sketch the contour of its banks. About one o'clock the hills on the west began to peep through the mist. Our course was almost a straight line towards the north-north-east, but the strong cross wind kept us back somewhat. ‘Towards three o'clock we came in sight of the island of Tunguru, but we kept to the open lake, and could now distinguish the eastern shore again, as well as the chain of hills that curves away towards Masindi. Throughout this course, and also off Kibiro, we saw no traces of Pistia rosettes either on the shore or on the lake, whereas the whole of the west side is full of them. At four o’clock we passed the island. Gradually approaching the west’ shore, we steamed past the wood, off which we had spent the stormy night on the outward journey, and where we now saw large fires burning, which gave us a fine evening illumination of both land and lake. About 5.32 P.M. we once more cast anchor before Boki’s village of Fanyumori. The way home to Wadelai was the same as that by which we came out.
