LIVINGSTONE’S LAST TOURNEY. 
215 
A few more words of good wishes on either side, another and 
yet another clasp of the hand, and the two heroes parted, Stanley 
hurrying back with all possible speed to Zanzibar to despatch men 
and stores for the doctor to Unyanyembe, Livingstone to return 
to that town to await the means of beginning yet another journey 
to the west. 
It has long been well known that Stanley found the Royal 
Geographical Society’s Livingstone Search Expedition at Baga- 
moyo, and that its leader. Lieutenant Dawson, threw up his com¬ 
mand on hearing of the success of his predecessor. With the aid 
of Mr. Oswell Livingstone, the son of the great explorer, the young 
American, however, quickly organized a caravan, and saw it start 
for the interior on the 17th of May. 
Somewhat later, the Royal Geographical Society sent out 
another exploring party, led by Lieutenant Grandy, with orders 
to ascend the Congo, to complete the survey of that stream, and at 
the same time to convey succor and comfort to the great traveler, 
who geographers already began to suspect was upon the upper 
waters of the Congo, and not of the Nile; but this last expedition 
utterly failed of success. 
LIVINGSTONE’S LAST LETTER. 
Not until long afterwards was the true sequel of Livingstone’s

one to Mr. Well, Acting American Consul at Zanzibar, dated from 
Unyanyembe, July 2, 1872, he says: ''I have been waiting up here 
like Simeon Sylites on his pillar, and counting every day, and con¬ 
jecturing each step taken by our friend towards the coast, wishing 
and praying that no sickness might lay him up, no accident befall, 
and no unlooked-for combinations of circumstances render his kind 
intentions vain or fruitless.” 
The remainder of our narrative is culled from the latter part 
of Livingstone’s journal, brought to Zanzibar with his dead body 
by his men, and from the accounts of his faithful followers Susi 
and Chumah, as given in ''Livingstone’s Last Journals,” edited by 
Dr. Horace Waller. From these combined sources, we learn that
