On the 23l Of October Dr.. Livingstone finally
reaches Ujiji, worn to skeleton and finding that
he had been robbed OF all his goods, not single
yard of calico being left out of three thousand, nor
a string of beads out of seven hundred pounds.

The year 1872 was devoted to the further explora-
ton of Lake Tanganyika and TO journeys on the
borders of Lake Bangweoo. But the end was now
RAPIDLY approaching. by the middle of April, 1873,
the health of DR.. Livingstone, which had long
been declining completely broke down. On the
2lst he attempted to ride on the donkey, but had
gone only short distance when he fell to the
ground utterly exhausted and faint. He was then
assisted to the shoulders of his two faithful African
attendants, Susi and Chuma. who bore him
back to the village and placed him in the
hut which he mad recently left. The next
day instead of rallyng. his strength became
less and less. He was, however, placed in a
kitanda Ia wooden frame-workl covered with grass
and with blanket laid on it. Slung from pole,
and borne between two strong men, it made TOD
cradle palanquin, and thus the exhausted traveller
was conveyed to the next village through flooded
