Livingstone found it in 1856 : " I walked about some ruins I discovered built of stone, and found the remains of a church, and on one side lay a broken bell with the letters I. H. S. , and a cross, but no date. . . . We found seven mango-trees and several tamarinds, and were informed that the chief, Mburuma, sends men annually to gather the fruit, but, like many Africans whom I have known, has not had patience to propagate more trees. . . . " Next morning we passed along the bottom of the range..., called Mazanzwe, and found the ruins of eight or ten stone houses. They all faced the river, and were high enough up the flanks of the hill Mazanzwe to com- mand a pleasant riew of the broad Zambezi. These establishments had all been built on one plan a house on one side of a large court, surrounded by a wall ; both houses and walls had been built of soft grey sandstone, cemented together with mud. The work had been per- formed by slaves ignorant of building, for the stones were not often placed so as to cover the seams below.
