Then he went south Of Lake BangweolO,
whence he sent his last important letters in July,

From this he appears to have repassed the
Cazembes town, and to have gone north to Ujijt
along the eastern shore of Tanganyika, from the
date or short letter received from the traveller by
DIR. Kirk at Zanzibar, dated Ujiji, May,
1869. In this he states that Tanganyika

appears in many forms in the reports), and was

Zanzibar on the 18th November, 1870, had no more
recent intelligence than this.

Arab traders In Ujiji, announcing that Dr.. Living

BRITISH EXPORTS TO FIND THE BxPLoRER.
1t must be confessed that the national English
EFFORT 70 and Livingstone was tame and, for years,
spiritiess. An English search expedition sailed
from the British shore the 25th OF last February
for Zanzibar. II was Comrpanded by Lieutenant
Dawson, X. NJ, the second Oflcer in command
being Lieutenant William Hem, a young Irslunan,
who has already distinguished himself by his SER
vices on the East Coast, and whose knowledge OF
the Swahilc language was expected to
prove highly useful in the regions to be searched.
The expedition was despatched In an imperfect
state OF preparation, on the faith OF generous ef
forts being made In the home countries TO supply all
its deficiencies.
