Benue existed in Biographies only as

fluence with the Niger many hundred
miles to the southwest.

Barth was stirred by the sight of this
magnificent stream whose name in
the native tongue means Mother Of
Waters, " and he records his discovery
with unusual emotion. To this com
ment he adds the following prophecy,
