BlO Livingstone’s health and spirsvs. 
to send him fifty well-armed men from Zanzibar, to act a* 
soldiers and servants for a new expedition, which he is 
about to organize for a rapid exploration of a few doubtful 
points before returning home to declare to those concerned 
that he has finished his work. He will leave Unyanyembe 
for tlfipa, thence to Lieinba and Marumgu, and crossing 
the Luapula lliver at Chieumbi's, will make his way to the 
copper mines of Katauga, in Rua; then eight days south 
to discover the Fountains of Herodotus; then return by 
Katauga to the underground houses of Rua, ten days 
northeast of Katauga ; thence to Lake Kamolondo, and by 
River Lufira to Lake Lincoln ; thence back to Lunlaba, to 
explore the lake north of Kamolondo; thence return by 
Uguhha to TJjiji, or by Marumgu, through Uwri to the 
coast and England. This is his present programme, which 
he thinks will take him eighteen months ; but, as I told 
him, 1 think it will take two years. Though he is now 
going on sixty years of age, he looks but forty-five or fifty 
— quite hale and hearty. He has an enormous appetite, 
which has abated none of its powers since I have known 
him. He i3 in need of no rest — he needed supplies — he 
has got them now, and everything he needs. Though sick 
and thin when I saw him at Ujiji, lie is now fleshy and 
stoutish, and must weigh about one hundred and eighty 
pounds. 1 hough I have hung my balance scales tempt- 
iugly before his eyes, I have never been able to get him to 
weigh himself. I have not the slightest fears about his 
kaalth, or ol any danger coming to him from the natives.”
