DIR. Livingstone and Mr.. Stanley, as has already
been stated, spent twenty-eight days exploring
Lake Tanganyika These days appear to have
been the pleasantest Of Mr.. Stanleys journey.
All day long the Doctor and he sitting at one end
Of the boat watched the course of the waters so as
to solve the great problem Of .'innuent or
efIluent." In the evening came the time OF rest.
They then pitched their TENTS and, lying
down under this they chatted OF all things
under the sun. DR.. Livingstone, Mr. Stan.
ley says, is one of the most agreeable Of com
paniOns-lvely and chatty, unless when greatly
iatgued He at the same time always preserves
certain gravity and dignity OF air that impress you
with the real elevation of the mans character.
Mr.. Stanley is as one might naturally expect,
somewhat reticent on the subject OF the English
Expedition. This Is question on which he thinks
he has no right to express an opinion. At the same
time, as the expedition seems to have met good
deal OF adverse criticism he feels at liberty to say
one thing regarding it. The eventualty ofhis ind-
ing Livingstone does not appear to have been
taken into complete consideration by the Geogra-
phical Society," and the instructions to the expedi-
ton on this point were probably very vague.
When, therefore, the unexpected news came that
DR.. Livingstone had been really found by Mr. Stan
ley the expedition found itself in face OF an unfore
seen contingency, ana their conclusion that their
task was finished was not wholly unnatural.
