shire

Tanganyika would thus go to Nyassa—down the Shiré into the Zambesi and the sea, if a passage existed even below ground.

The rapids of Lake Nyassa where the Shiré issues from it, are more than fifteen hundred feet higher than the ocean.

We landed to wood at Shamoara, just below the confluence of the Shiré.

In the first ascent of the Shiré our attention was chiefly directed to the river itself.

We could not learn from any record that the Shiré had ever been ascended by Europeans.
