Ne,c York, July 2.--The Herald has a
long account from Stanley, narrating his
adventures in reaching UjJi, where he came
up with Livingstone, the explorer, whose
story is as follows: In March, 1866, he in
formed the Herald's explorer, he started
with twelve Sepoys, nine Johanna-men,
and seven liberated slaves. He trav-
eled up the Roouma river, but before they
had been gone very long, the men became
frightened at the nature of the journey and
the reports of hostile tribes up the country
they were to pass through. At length they
deserted him, and as cover to their cow
ardice in doing so, they circulated the re-
port of his death.
Livingstone proceeded on his journey in
spite OF the isolation, and, after some diff
cult marching, reached the Chambezi river,
which he crossed. He found that this was
not the Portuguese Scambezi river, as had
been conjectured, but on the contrary,
wholly separate. He traced it's course, and
found it called further on the Lualaba. He
continued his explorations along its banks
for 700 miles, and he has become convinced,
in consequence, that the Chambezi is doubt
less the source of the Nile, and that this
will make fetal length for the mystic river
of Africa of 1900. His explorations also
establish that the Nile is not supplied by
Lake Tanganika.
Livingston reached within $50 miles of
the source and explored the surrounding
grounds, when, finding himself without
supplies, be was obliged to return to Uiiji.
and was in q state of restitution there when
met by the commander of the HeraM ex-
petition. On the sixteenth of October,
1871, the two explorers left Ujiji and ar
rived at Unyanyembe toward the end of
November, where they passed twenty weight
days together exploring the district. They
then returned and spent Christmas at Ujiji.
The Herald explorer arrived at the point
of sending this important intelligence on the
l4th of March, 1872, leaving Livingstone at
Unyanyembe.
Livingstone's further plans are to explore
the north shore of Tanganika lake and the
remaining $50 miles of the Lualaba river.
This herculean task he expects will occupy
the next two years.
