to explore Chainbeze, Bangweolo, Luapula, Moero, and 

 Lualaba. I spent two full years at this work, and the Chief 

 Casemhe was the first to throw light on the subject by 

 saying, " It is the same water here as in the Chambeze, the 

 same in Moero and Lualaba, and one piece of water is just 

 like another. Will you draw out calico from it that you 

 wish to see it ? As your chief desired you to see Bangweolo, 

 go to it, and if in going north you see a travelling party, 

 join it ; if not, come back to me, and I will send you safely 

 by my path along Moero." 



The central Lualaba I would fain call the Lake River 

 Webb ; the western, the Lake River Young. The Lufira 

 and Lualaba West form a Lake, the native name of which, 

 " Chibungo," must give way to Lake Lincoln. I wish to 

 name the fountain of the Liambai or Upper Zambesi, 

 Palmerston Fountain, and adding that of Sir Bartle Frere 

 to the fountain of Lufira, three names of men who have 

 done more to abolish slavery and the slave-trade than any 

 of their contemporaries. 



[Through the courtesy of the Earl of Derby we are able 

 to insert a paragraph here which occurs in a despatch 

 written to Her Majesty's Foreign Office by Dr. Livingstone 

 a few weeks before his death. He treats more fully in it 

 upon the different names that he gave to the most important 

 rivers and lakes which he discovered, and we see how he 

 cherished to the last the fond memory of old well-tried 

 friendships, and the great examples of men like President 

 Lincoln and Lord Palmerston.] 



" I have tried to honour the name of the good Lord 

 Palmerston, in fond remembrance of his long and unwearied 

 labour for the abolition of the Slave Trade ; and I venture 

 to place the name of the good and noble Lincoln on the 

 Lake, in gratitude to him who gave freedom to 4,000,000 of 

 slaves. These two great men are no longer among us ; but
