The long-missing geographical explorer is really
alive, and the HERALD correspondents story is
confirmed. The Doctor now speaks for himself.
He says the arrival Of the HERALD expedition,
with its supplies, was most timely and
it seems to have almost saved his life; for
he was out of means, detected and completely
broken down. Stanley told him six years. news

HERALD The letter is dated at Ujiji, East Africa
November, 1871, and its most interesting portions
are the statements of the explorer in regard to
the news he received by tee HERALD representa-
tive, Mr.. Stanley. DR.. Livingstone aludes to
events which sound very Old to us, as news to
him. aud even the man to whom his letter OF

he refers, have passed from this unexplored world
to one still less known. The details Of the veXa-
