can anybody help me decipher handwriting on two labels for shells from Mozambique?

the first says  or appears to say  "Cidade Port, Mozmabique, East Africa" or Cidacle Port, E Africa

(as best as I can tell "Cidade" is Portuguese for 'city', but I don't find a  "Port City" verbatim  for Mozambique, and there are a lot of 'port cities' there


the 2nd says or appears to say " Mozambique- Hutch's Den"   (or Deu  or Dea) and then "20 degrees" so I assume this is somewhere around 20 degrees S. latitude,which fits Mozambique,  but so far I haven't found anything that looks or sounds like that

Thanks in advance for any help

Steve
