He had been i'll of chronic dysentery for
| several months. He was well supplied
| with stores and medicines, but he had a
| presentlment that the disease would prove
| fatal. At first he was able to ride on a
donkey, but soon had 10 be carried. Arriv-
ing at Muilada. beyond Lake Pembina, in
the Bisa country, he said: Build me hut
to die in" A hut was built by his follow
ers. The first Of May he was confined to
his bed. and afterward suffered greatly,
groanng night and day On the third day
he said lie was very cold, ard requested
that more grass be put over the hut.
His followers could not speak or 60 near
him. KilumbO, the chief of Bisa, sent flour
and beans. and behaved well toward the
party. The fourth day DIR. Livingstone
was irsensible, and died about midnight.
Makadahoon, servant, was present.
DR.. Livingstone made his last entry in
his diary April 10. He spoke much and
sadly of his home and family.
When he was first seized by the fatal at
tack he told his followers he intended to
exchange everything for ivory to give them,
and then push on to UjJi and Zanzibar
and try to reach England.
The same day on which he died his fol-
lowers consulted what to do. The Nassick
boys determined to place his rema MS in a
bark case, done up to represent bale of
goods, so as to deceive the natives who OBJ
jected to the passage of a corpse. and thus
carried to Zanzibar. DR.. Livingstone's pa
pers, clothing and instruments accompanied
the body. When sick in bed, DR.. Living
stone prayed much at Muilala, and said, II
am going home"
