energy could contrive in order to find him efficient men and otherwise carry out his plans.  It was Stanley therefore whom he commissioned to send him up men from Zanzibar.  It was Stanley to whom he intrusted his Journal and other documents.  Stanley had been his confidental friend for four months—­the only white man to whom he talked for six years.  It was matter of life and death to Livingstone to be supplied for this concluding piece of work far better than he had been for years back.  What man in his senses would have failed in these circumstances to avail himself to the utmost of the services of one who had shown himself so efficient; would have put him aside to fall back on others, albeit his own countrymen, who, with all their good-will, had not been able to save him from robbery, beggary, and a half-broken heart.

Stanley’s journey from Unyanyembe to Bagamoio was a perpetual struggle against hostile natives, flooded roads, slush, mire, and water, roaring torrents, ants and mosquitos, or, as he described it, the ten plagues of Egypt.  On his reaching Bagamoio, on the 6th May, he found a new surprise.  A white man dressed in flannels and helmet appeared, and as he met Stanley congratulated him on his splendid success.  It was Lieutenant Henn, R.N., a member of the Search Expedition which the Royal Geographical Society and others had sent out to look for Livingstone.  The resolution to organize such an Expedition was taken after news had come to England of the war between the Arabs and the natives at Unyanyembe, stopping the communication with Ujiji, and rendering it impossible, as it was thought, for Mr. Stanley to get to Livingstone’s relief.  The Expedition had been placed under command of Lieutenant Dawson, R.N., with Lieutenant Henn as second, and was joined by the Rev. Charles New, a Missionary from Mombasa, and Mr. W. Oswell Livingstone, youngest son of the Doctor.  Stanley’s arrival at Bagamoio had been preceded by that of some of his men, who brought the news that Livingstone had been found and relieved.  On hearing this, Lieutenant Dawson hurried to Zanzibar to see Dr. Kirk, and resigned his command.  Lieutenant Henn soon after followed his example by resigning too.  They thought that as Dr. Livingstone had been relieved there was no need for their going on.  Mr. New likewise declined, to proceed.  Mr. W. Oswell Livingstone was thus left alone, at first full of the determination to go on to his father with the men whom Stanley was providing; but owing to the state of his health, and under the advice of Dr. Kirk, he, too, declined to accompany the Expedition, so that the men from Zanzibar proceeded to Unyanyembe alone.

On the 29th of May, Stanley, with Messrs. Henn, Livingstone, New, and Morgan, departed in the “Africa” from Zanzibar, and in due time reached Europe.
