STEAMERS ON UPPER CONGO.
The Large Fleet now Plying on 5000
Miles of Waterways.

Twenty years ago Henry NJ. Stanley,
who had reached Stanley Pool to begin
his five years work planting stations
on the river, launched the first steam
er on the waters of the Pool. II was
the little En- Avant of five tons bur-
den. In the 20 years that have since
elapsed Europe has not failed in a
single year to send more steamers to
ply on the great African river.
There are today 1903 steamboats,
travelling up and down the upper Con-
go and its tributaries or preparing In
the shipyards at Stanley Pool for
launching. The fiotilla has taken a
prominent part In the pacific conquest
and the economic expansion of the
new Congo country. 1t has been very
prominent in the work of exploration
and of occupation. Without these
steamers it would not have been pos
sible to start so many trading and
other stations. They could not, with
out the steamers, have procured suf-
ficient supplies. The steamers also
made it possible to develop the ivory
and rubber trades, which have now
reached large proportions.
Belgian enterprise has placed nearly
half of these vessels on the river. The
fleet of the Congo Free State num-
bers 29 vessels, and Belgian trading
companies have 10 steamers, making
a total of As vessels owned and con-
trolled by Belgian enterprises. The
most important fleet after that of the
Belgians is the French fiotilla. In
the past two years the French have
sent 39 boats to Brazzaville on Stanley
Pool and most of them have been
launched Tie Dutch traders own 10
vessels, the Germans and English
and American missionary societies
have steamers in their service.
1t was a. giagntic undertaking to
transport the first so steamers to the
upper river. They had to be carried
piece by piece on the backs of men
Not few of the larger vessels were
divided into more than a thousand
man loads; and after these myriad
pieces were unloaded at Stanley Pool
months were require to rivet them to.
gether and prepare the vessel for
launching.
So nearly IS years were taken In
placing the first so steamboats, on the
upper river. A very different chapter
in Congo history has been written in
the past two years since the opening
of the railroad from Matadi to Stanley
Pool. Within the past "a months half
of the upper Congo feet of so vessels
has been carried on the cars to the
Pool. While month was required to-
carry the earlier boats over the noun.
tains and down into the valleys along
the 235 miles between the lower Con.
go and the Pool, an entire boat is now
| carried over the route in two days.
Thus the railroad has facilitated plac~
ing steamers on the upper river; and
now both railroad and steam vessels
are working together in the CONNER
cial expansion of the country-New
York Sun.

held on the life of the late DR.. Henri
