also contemplates making one more exploring trip, and purposes traversing 

 the continent of Africa, by starting from the Bight of Benin, and working 

 up in a north-easterly direction towards the regions lately explored by

 determine whether the Victoria-Nyanza lake is itself the source of the Nile, 

 or whether a large river (yet undiscovered) does not flow through the lake 

 in the same manner that the Rhone traverses the Lake of Geneva. Whether 

 the Old Shekarry succeeds in solving the mystery of the Nile or not, the 

 reading public may look forward to another book of adventure as entertain- 

 ing and as valuable as the one under notice, which ought to hold a 

 prominent place in every sportsman's library.
