Six days ago the Anglo-Amercan expedition, under
my command, and 1000 choice spcarmen of Uganda
under command of ''GeDera'' samboozi were en-.
ramped at Unyampaka Unyoro, the shore of the
Albert Niyanza. Mtesa, Emperor of Uganda, faithfully
fulfilled his promise to me so far to furnish with
force sufficient pierce the hostile country OF Kabba
Rega and penetrate the Albert Nyanza near which
we were encamped three days But though were
successful far to reach the lake, drink Of its
waters take couple of astronomical observe tions and
procure much Information respecting the con,guou
countries soon perceived that exploration Of the lake
was out of the question, unless then and there
solved to terminate my journey with tho exploration
OF tho Albert For having penetrated by force through
Kabba Resas country, it would have been folly
pcct that 200 men could long occupy Unyampaka in
lho face of thousands which Kabba Rega King OF
Unyoro, and Mambuko King of Ankori, would array
against them.

Upon considering the chances of success along the
various Lake Albert II became evident
me that, unaidcd by force of waganda could SO
much reach the lake, and that even with the
waganda unless tho Emperor assisted with 90 600
oC0 would be almost hopeless expect that we
could hold our ground long enough to enable me TO
Bet out on two months voyage OF exploration, and
find my return the expedition still intact and safe
On representing these IDEAS to the Emperor he and his
chiefs assured . coo men were amply sufficient

quite convinced with the assurances Mtesa gave me
