Sketches by Lieutenant Cameron in Central Africa: Kituta Village, Lake Tanganyika, 1876. View of '...the native village of Kitata, on the eastern shore, about half-way down the lake from Ujiji, where [Lieutenant Cameron's] boating-party encamped on April 9. The huge blocks of granite, heaped upon one another or scattered about, give a picturesque appearance to this headland. The collection of grass huts is defended by a stockade on the land side, behind which the steep hill is covered by a thick forest'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
