Sketches by Lieutenant Cameron in Central Africa...Lukuga Outlet of Lake Tanganyika...1876. Creator: Unknown

Sketches by Lieutenant Cameron in Central Africa: entrance to the Lukuga Outlet of Lake Tanganyika, 1876. Lieutenant Cameron's more exact survey led to the discovery of an important outlet on the western side, flowing with a steady current in the direction of the Atlantic. This effluent, which was called by the natives the Lukuga, he found to be flowing from the lake with a full, steady current at the rate of a mile and a quarter per hour...he saw floating logs carried into the mass and disappear, showing that the current was still running. The chief of the district, who seems to have been intelligent and friendly, assured Cameron that the stream flowed into the Lualaba, and the information obtained from Arab traders not only confirmed this, but satisfied him that the Lualaba could be no other than the great river Congo'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
