Livingstone, continually grow ing weakc-,
was compelled to be carried in a ham
mock, but still urged on his way until he
came to the headwaters which empty
themselves into Lake Bangweolo Here,
as be came to the lake, he made use of
Mr., SANKEY'S boat, which he had carried

full of that intention he turned his face
northward. But on arriving at a place
called Kitumoo he seemed to have become
suddenly conscious that his last hour had

chief would not permit him, and he accor-

Kibende. On bis arrival at small vii

death.

him. At midnight of the fourth day of
