Context: "Lake Albert is a depression or valley in the mountain range, so that the hills shut out all view of the country beyond them. Sometimes the foreshore is several miles wide, but in other places the mountains slope down to the lake.” (Roscoe, J., 1922. The Soul of Central Africa: An Account of the Mackie Ethnological Expedition. (London: Cassell and Co.), p. 132.). [ED 1/11/2007]
