jOurneyings together, and, most impor tant Of all

OF the Doctors death arc easily accounted for
by the repeated assertions Of his followers.
The great task in which he was almost wholly
occupied was in tracing the >conrse OF the river

ZamDezi but which Livingstone found to be an
entirely distinct river and the varying course OF
which he traced for the extraordinary distance Of
1900 miles, or within, as he supposes, $50 miles Of
part or the Nile which has already been traced.
At this point he was reluctantly compelled, by the
mutiny and desertlon OF his men, to return to GILL.
During his explorations he also came upon several
lakes, beside another large river called the Lualaba
