The distance from Kaole to Ujiji is of 540 rectilinear geographical miles: or in statute miles, allowing one for windings of the road, thus:

From Kaole to Kazeh, statute miles	520
From Kazeh to Ujiji, statute miles	276
	796
Add one fifth for detour—159 miles	159
Total of statute miles	955

Assuming the absolute time of travelling to be 420 hours, this will give a marching rate of 2·27 miles per hour.
