M'wootan N'zige is therefore known to pass through Ruanda, Baroondi, and
the Watuta - or beyond the north end of the Tanganyika Lake.

straw and cane dwellings in a courtyard of about an acre, surrounded by
a fence, and guarded by many sentries, each of whom had a small but
built in the middle of the hedge.
