labourers who still toiled on towards the goal. Writing 
from Ujiji, Mr. Hore said, about this time: "I trust no

full particulars from them, three other missionaries were 
appointed by the Directors, to labour at the three stations 
chosen — thus providing two labourers at each place. To 
meet the exigencies of the mission, Mr. R. Arthington
