Kwara, UNYANYEMBE, September 20, teri ‘The African expedition of the New York HERALD arrived at Unyanyombe on June 23, 1871. It had @uffered considerably in its personnel and trans- port. One of the white men has died, he but lived to reach haif-way here; two of the armed escort as ‘Well a8 cight pagazis died also from dysentery and ‘smallpox. Two horses and twenty-seven asses ave also perished. On arriving at Unyanyembe your correspondent wrote two letters and en- trusted them to Said Ben Salim (Burton and Speke's former Rascafilah), now Governor of Unyanyembe. One gave an account of our journey from the const here; the other of our battle with Mirambo, who Occupied the country lying between the HenaLD expedition and the object of ite search. 1 thon pre- pared for the second stage, viz :— THE JOURNEY 10 UJIJI AND MANYEMA. | But difficulties had been on the increase for about @ Month before our arrival here. MIRAMBO, KING OF ‘UYOWA, in weatern Unyamwezi, had been levying blackmall toan unconscionable amount cpon all caravans bound westward to. Ujij!, tho lake and the regions lying behind; to Urundi, to Karagwah, Uganda and Dnyoro. The road to these countries led through his country, aserious misfortune not only to the expedi- tion but to allcatavans bound anywhere westward. About the time the expedition arrived Mirambo capped his arbitrary course by taking from a cara- van five bales of cloth, ve guns and five kegs of powder, and then refusing it permission to pass, declaring that none should pass any more except over his body. This, ofcourse, led to a declaration of war on the part of the Arabs, which was givea after { bad secured new carriers and was almost READY FOR THE JOURNEY, ‘The Arabs were s0 confident of easy victory over the African King, declaring that fifteen days at the most would suffice to settle him, that I was tempted in an unlucky moment to promise them my aid, hoping that by this means I would be enabled to reach Livingstone sooner than by stopping at Unyanyembe awaiting the turn of events. Mi- fambo was but ‘Fonty-seven ours’ march from Onyanyembde. THE BATTLE WITH MTZAMBO, On the first day we burned three of his villages, gaptured, killed or drove away the inhabitants, thé second 1 taken down with the ever remitting fever of Cétihizy. On the third ade- tachment was sent out and audaciously attacked ‘the fenced village where the King was, and after an hour's fighting entered it at oue gate While Ml- rambo left it by anotuer. AN ARAB SLAUGHTER AND TERRINUE NISASTHR. In returning to our camp this detachment was waylaid by Mirambo and his men and a great Slaughter of the Arabs took place. Seventeen Arab commanders were sluin, among them oue or two persogal friends of mine, who had travelled ‘with me from the coast, Five of the soldiers of the HERALD expedition were killed, The fourth day ‘was A PRIGHTFUL RETREAT, from the simple cause of secing smote in the dis. tance, which was believed to be caused by Miram- bo’s advance or Ruga-Ruga freebooters. Without informing each other the Arabs, folowed by their plaves, rushed out of their village, and Iwas LEFT IN MY TEMBH ALONE, IN A FRYER, My own men, frightened by thelr isolation, lost courage and rad, all but six, my Arab hoy, Selim, and tho Englishman Slaw. With these I REACHED MYUTO, half-way to Unyanyombe, at midvight, After this NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 45, 1872. Wirt eoePumiiarh graceless retreat It became evident to me that it was going to be a long affair between Arab and African. Livingstone’s caravan, which had gone to its first camp preparatory for the journey, bad been ordered back, and the goods had been safely lodged in my house, ‘The Arabs’ cowardly retreat invited Mirambo to follow them to their homes. THE ARAB CAPITAL ENTERED BY MIRAMBO, While I was debating what todo (knowing that speed was a necessity with the expedition) Mirambo entered Tabora, the Arab capital of Oen- tral Africa, with his ferocious allies, the Watuta. Tabora is one mile from Kwthara, the place where I date this telegram. The Kazeh of Speke and Bur- ton is not known here except as the fenced resi- dence of an old Arab. Tabora includes all the Arab residences, The Arabs of Kwihara were in great alarm and Sheir thorough selfishness came out strongly. The Governor and others were for run- ning to the coast at once, declaring Central Africa forever closed to travel and trade. ‘THE CAPITAL NEARLY DESTROYED AND FIVE HUN- DRED ARABS KILLED. About one-fourth of Tabora was burned; five em!- nent Arabs were killed; cattle, ivory and slaves carried away. Expecting attack I turned the Gov- ernor’s house into @ Ittle fort, inorder to defend the property of the expedition and that of Living- stone from the Watuta. STANLEY PREPARING TO RESIST THE SAVAGE ARMY. All fugitives from Tabora who were armed were invited in, unt! I had 160 armed men within the tembe, Provisions and water were brought to last five days. At the end of that time Mirambo and his allies retircd with great booty. THE AMERIOAN FLAG FLYING. During the state of siege the American fag was hoisted. NOTHING MORE TO DO WITM THE ARABS, After this event [ informed the Arabs that [could not assist them any more, for if they ran away once they would run away again, and declared my tnten- tion to travel at once to Ujiji by another road. They all advised mo to wait nntil the war was over; that I was going straigh tto death by travelling dur- ing war time. But I was obstinate, and they LOOKED ON ME AS A LOST MAN, Tengaged thirty men of Zanzibar at treble prices. ‘The effects of the expedition were reduced to tho smallest scale consistent with the actual necessi- tles of tho Journey. As the day drew near the restlessness of the men increased and Bombay (Burton and Speke’s handy man, but always MY STUMBLING BLOCK), did his utmost to slacken the courage of the armed escort—the Englishman Shaw even became s0 smitten with fear that he could pot assist in my preparations, The Arab reports of the wars along our road were imduencing the men of the expedi- tion. m1 The Journey to Usiji—The oute of the Expedition—Over Four Hundred Mi Through a Country Rarcly Travelled, Even by Arabs—Stanley Compelled to Pay Tribute to the Sultan of Nzogera— A ‘Delay=Change of Front—Ujiji Reached and the Town Entered Amid the Firing of Guns—The Amer- fean Flag in the Van—A Group of Arabs=—The Gray-Bearded White Man— Stanley and Livingstone Face to Face at Last.

For ten days it journeyed saqgth as if bound for Western Urori, during which time many deserted and the Englishman had been sent back as Perfectly useless. Crossing Unkonongo westward we travelled until we entered Kawendl, an en- tirely new country. Aftor supplying the men of the expedition with ten days’ provisions we plunged into the wilderness and went north, from which we aid not emerge until we had sighted the Malaga- razi River. THE SULTAN OF N20GERA DEMANDS AND RECEIVES HBAVY TRIBUTE. Here, after already dodging and escaping from four wars, which made the country dangerous to travellers, we were confronted with hostilities waged by Sultan Nzogera against Lokanda Mira, another Sultan of Uvinza, which was a most serious inconvenience to me—nay, it well nigh ruined the expedition. After paying heavy tribute to Nzogera and crossing the Malagarazi River, we might have reached Ujiji without further trouble had there been no war. But this war compelled me to adopt the Uhha route—one always avoided by Arabs. It Was almost a3 bad as it I had gone straight into the middle of their battlefield. While not yet half-way through Uhha, which in its entire length is only two good days’ journey, I had been MULCTED OF HALF THE AVAILABLE PROPERTY OF THE EXPEDITION, and had, as often as the tribute was imposed, been in danger of open rupture owing to the insolence of the Uhha chiefs. Had I continued on this road the expedition might possibly have arrived at Ujijl with @ month’s provisions left. A CITANGR OF FRONT, Our resolve was taken. At midnight we left the Mutware’s village, with guns loaded, and left the road, plunging {ato the low jungle, and, travelling paraltel to the road westward, march\d twenty-five miles without halting. We then cooked and rested, and at night again marched all night until we had crossed Uhha and had arrived in Ukaranga safely. Two marches more, and we were ENTERING THE SUBURES OF UJIJI, firing away our guns a8 only exuberant heroes do, to the intense astonishment of the Arabs of Ujiji, who turned out én masse to know what tt meant. STANLEY ENTERS THE es FLYING THE AMERICAN Among those who came to question us were tho eervants of Dr. Livingstone, who shortly ran ahead ia haste to inform him that an Englishman was coming; “Sure, sure," he was an Englishman, they said, though the American fag was in the front, held @lott by the stout arms of my gigantic Kirangozl. WE ENTERED SLOWLY, the immense number of people who had collected about us impeding rapid progress, As we ad- vanced the crowd became larger and more mingled with the chief Arabs, and the noise of firing and ehouting became doafening. Suddenly the firing and hubbub ceased; the van of the expedition had halted STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE FACE TO PACE.

LIVINGSTONE’S OWN STORY TOLY TO STANLEY, Dr. Livingstone’s expedition left Zanzibar in March, 1866, On the 7th of April he left the sea- coast with an expedition consisting of twelve Sepoys, nine Johanna men, seven liberated slaves and two Zambeat men—in all thirty men. He also had with him six camels, three buflaloes, two mules and three donkeys, The expedition travelled up the left bank of the Rovuma River, a route tecming with diMicuities, The dense jungles which barred their way required great labog. with the axes before they could proceed, which retarded vory much the Progress of the expedition. - SOON AFTER LEAVING THE COAST Dr. Livingstone was made aware of the un- willingness ‘of the Sepoys and Johanna men to march into the.interlor. ‘Their murmurings and complaints grew louder day by day. Hoping that he might be induced to return the Sepoys and Johanna men so abused the animals that in a short time ndt one was left alive. This plan not suc- ceeding they set about poisoning the minds of the simple natives towards the Doctor by ciroulating the most MISCHTEVOUS AND FALSE REPORTS concerning his character and intentions. As this might possibly become dangerous the Doctor re- solved to discharge the Sepoys, and accordingly sent them buck to the sea coast, with a suffictency of cloth to parchase food on their return. THE PIRST OF HIS TROUBLES began with these men. A more worthless crew as escort tt would be impossible to conceive. After suffering considerably from hunger during tho transit of a wide extent of unoccupied country after leaving the Rovuma River, the Doctor and his party arrived . IN THE COUNTRY OF A MIIYOW CHIEF on the 18th of July, 1866. Desertion of faithless men, in the meanwhile, had greatly thinned his party, Early in Augnst, 1866, Dr. Livingstonc and what remained of his expedition arrived at Mponda’s, a chief of a tribe of Wakiyow, living NEAR THE NYASSA LAKH, Here Wikotani—one of the “nice, honorable fel- lows” of Mr. Horace Waller—a protégé of tue Doctor, nie crea lus discharge, alleging as an excuse, insistea «, which tia, Doctor pchseanently found Lo be false, We aiso claimed that he had seen his brother.

After acllverlng himself of many more falsehoods Wikotant Was given by the Doctor in charge of Mponda until his “big brother’’ should call for him, AN EASTERN INGRATE. ‘This ingrate—released from slavery and educated at the Nassick School, Bombay, at the sole charge of the Doctor—perceiving his application for a dis- charge to be successful, endeavored to persuade Chumah, another protégé, to go with him, in order, as the Doctor si Ne to enslave him. Upon Chu- Bay conguiting tt the Dogtor, he was strongly ad- vised hol to put hintselt ta the power of Wikotan, Lrvinastoxe’s wiaxt “OVE From Mponda’s the Doctor proceeded to the heel ofthe Nyassa, to the village of a Babisa chief, who required medicine for a skin disease. To treat the melady he stopped at this place two days. While stopping here a half-caste Arab arrived at the same place from the western shore of Lake Nyassa, who reported that he had been plundered by a band of the Ma Zituat a place which the Doctor and Musa, the chiof of his Johanna men, knew perfectly was at least one hundred and fifty miles north-north- west, or twonty days’ march from the village.

During the Zambezi cx edition Musa had visited tits place, where tho Arab re, “ted himself robbed, in company of the Doctor. To the news which the Arab imparted Musa was an eager listener, and lost no time in conveying It to the Doctor. The Doctor coolly asked him if he believed, to which Musa answered that he did believe every word, for the Arab had told “true, true.” The Doctor said he did not; and efter explaining to him his reasons, he suggested to Musa that they should go and consult the Babisa chief, for if any one should know if the story was true, he should, The Babiaa chief denounced the Arab as “a liar” whenconsulted. But Musa broke out with, ‘No, no, Doctor, Ino want to go to Ma Zitu; I no want Ma Zitu to kill me; [want to see my father, my mother, my child in Johanna. [no want Ma Zitu kill me.” Musa’s words are here reported tp stssima verba. To this outburst the Doctor replied, “I don’t want the Ma Zita to kill me either, but since you are afraid of them, I promise to go wost until we are far PAST THE DEAT OF THE Ma ZITU." Masa was not satisfied with this promise of the Doctor, for he gaid in the same dolorons tone:—“If we had 200 guns with as I would go; but our small party, they will come by night and Kill us all." The Doctor repeated his promise, but to no purpose. When he turned his face westward, Musa and THE JOWANNA ESCORT HUARTLESSLY DESERTED MIM. Hence the fabrication of the Livingstone murder tale to hide the fact of their desertion and to obtain their wages. Livingstone’s party was very small now; he had sent back the worthless and maudiin Sepoys; the Jonanna men had deserted bim in a body, and Wikotani had been discharged, Ue was obliged to seek aid from the natives. He engaged them as carriers, and as tiey had never been tam- pered with or betrayed by the slave traders he man- aged exceedingly well. From this country, which he left in the beginning of December, 1868, he en- tered on a northern course, where the Ma Zitu had swept the land clean of provisions, and where the expedition suffered the most pinching hunger. MORE MISFORTUNRS. Added to this, desertions continued, which in one or two instances caused a loss of almost all his clothes and cooking utensfia and dishes, Though misfortunes constantly dogged the footsteps of the expedition, it struggled on and traversed the coun- tries of the Babisa, Bobemba, Banlungu, Barungu, besides the country of Londa, where lives tie famons King Cazembe. A CORDIAL RECEPTION BY CAZEMP2 AND HIS QUEEN. Cazembe and his Queen received him kindly and showed évety disposition to assist him, and it was he who gave the information about Lake Pangweolo (which he called “Large Water") to the Doctor. Near Cazembe's the Doctor had crossed a flue stream called the Chambezi. REGARDING THE GREAT RIVER ZAMBEZI. But he relied too much upon the correctness of | Portugnese information, and paid not much atten | tion to it at the time, belfeving it to be, as Portu- | guese travellers stated, but the Leadwaters of the great Zambezi, and having no connection with the great river of Egypt, of which he was now in search, This excessive reliance upon the veracity of Portuguese travellers and traders misied him very much, and caused him double work, plunging him into a labyrinth of errors and discoveries, making the whole country and Its intricate system of rivers and lakes clear to him only after repeat- ing his journeys many times. PORTUGUESE ERRORS AND THE TROUBLES THEY ENTAILED. From the beginning of 1867 to the.middle of March, 1869, he says he was mostly engaged in correcting the errors of Portuguese travellers, The Portuguese when writing or speaking of the Chambezi irvaribly called it “our own Zambezi,” or the Zambezi that flows through the Portuguese possessions of the Mozambique, Over and over again he had to traverse the countries around Londa like an uneasy spirit; over and over again he asked the same ques- tions from the different people whom he mes, until he was obliged to desist test they might say—“The “Yes,” was the answer, with © kind smile, Together we turned toward his house. We took seatg on goatykins spread over the mud dor of man is mad; he has water on the brain.” THE CHAMBRZI THR HEADWATERS OF THE NILE. Those tedjoug tiavels have established. frst. that the Chambezi is a totally distinct river from the Portuguese Zambezi; second, that the Chambert, starting from about latitude .11 south, 18 none other wonderful river a léngth of over 2,600 miles of di- rect latitude, LAKE LIEMBA, OR LUWEMBA, Daring this series of journcys which he made in ered it tobe an extensive heel, or rather foot, of the Tafganyika resembles the southern part of Italy in configuration.

Tracing this lake, which is about sixty miles in length, to its southern extremity he found ariver entering it from that direction. Following the Luapula north, as this river was called, he found It issued from the great lake of Bangweolo, which is as large in superficial area as the Tangenyika. The most important feeder of this lake ts the Chambezi. We had traced the Chambezi running north through three degrees of latitude. It could not, then, be the Zambezl. BACK TO UJISI. He returned to King Cazembe, thence to Uji, whence he dated those letters to the London Geographical Society, under whose auspices he travels, which, though the outside worid still doubted that the traveller was alive, fully satisfied the minds of the membors of that society. Tho way in which Musa left the Doctor and what the Doctor was doing all the time the world thought him dead has now been TOLD AS DR, LIVINGSTONE TOLD YOUR CORRE- SPONDE! But his experiences, his troubles, hia sufferings in mind, body and estate—how Arabs conspired against him, his men robbed him, false Moslems betrayed him—how he was detained by inunda- tions, by scanty means to cross rivers and lagoons. by wars between Arabs and natives from tie be- ginning of 1867 to the middie of 1860, when he arrived at Ujiji—no one will be ble to re- lato than himself. APTER RESTING AT UJI | he thought of exploring the head of the Tanganyika and ascertaining whether this lake had any connec- tion, or whether the river Rusizi was an influent or an afiluent; but the avarice of the Wajiji, which would have deprived him of most of his cloth, pre- vented him. At the end of June, 1869, ho set off by way of Ugubha for HIS LAST BERIES OF EXPLORATIONS, Fifteen days’ march brought him to Manyoma, a virgin country, but lately known to the Arabs eyeny On the threshold-of great discoveries ha tas LAID UP §IX MONTHS FROM ULCERS in the feet. ‘When recovered he set off northerly, and came to a broad lacustrine river called LUALABA, which fowed northward, westward, and in some laces southward ost, confusing wi The i 8 i “niles Tae gies river was from ono to ing it northerly he DISCOVERED LAKE KAMOLONDO, in latitude 6 deg. 30 min. south, He traced the rivey southward to Lake Moero, where he saw it issue out of this lake through an enor- mous and deep chasm in the mountains, Satisfled that this Lualaba was the Chambezi which en- tyrea Bangweolo, or the Luapila which entered ero, he ‘BETRACED WIS STEPS NORTHWARD to Lake Kamolondo. He came toa river owing from the west called the Locki, or Lomaml, which issued from a large lake called Chebungo, situated to the south-southwest from Kamolondo. To this Lake Chebungo Dr. Livingstone gave the name LAKE LINCOLN, after President Abraham Lincoln, whose gad fate the civilized world lamented. To the memory of the American President, whose labors in behalf of the black race won his entire sympathy and ap- proval, the great traveller has contributed a monu- ment more durable than brass, iron, or stone. WORKING AGAINST TERRIBLE ODDS. Still working his way north, bit by bit, against geveral and varied difficulties, along the Lualaba’s crooked course as far as latitude 4 south, he heard of another large lake situated to. the north, in the yy (aleg Une of drainage as the four other aba Ne pu.

Ho at once accepted the offer, and, like a hero, lost no time in starting, REORGANIZATION OF THE CORPS AND A START IN OOMPANY. On the 20th of November Dr. Livingstone and your correspondent, with twenty picked men of the HERALD Expedition Corps, started. Despite the assertion of Arabs that the Warundi were danger- ous and would not let us pass, we hugged their coast closely, and when fatigued boldly encamped in their country. Once only were we obliged to fly—and this was at dead of night—from a large party which we knew to he surrounding us on the land side. We got to the boat safely, and we might have punished them severely had the Doctor been 80 disposed. Onco also wo were stoned, but we their coast until we arrived at Mokamba’s, one of the chiefs of Usige. Mokamba was at war with @ neighboring chief, who lived on the left bank of the Rusizi. That did not deter us, and we crossed the head of the Tan- ganyika to Mugihewah, governed by Ruhinga, brother of Mokamba, GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOLOGY. Mugthewah ts a tract of country on the right bank of the Rusial, extending to the lake. With Mokamba and Rubinga we became most intimate; they proved to be soclable, good-natured chiefs, nd gave most valuable information concerning the countries lying to the north of Usige; and if their information is correct, Sir Samuel ker wiil be obliged to curtail the ambitious dimensions of his lake by one degree, ifnot more. A Mgwana, living at Mokamba’s, on the eastern shore of the lake, had informed us that the River Rusizi certainly flowed out of t e, and after joining tho Kitangule emptie de aH inks ibe WG orla). . When we entered Babingas eae of Mugihe- wah, we found ourselves but 360 yards from the river about which a great deal has been written. At Unyanyembe I was told that tiie Rusizi was anamMuent. At Ujijiall Arabs but one united in say- ing the samo thing, and within ten miles of the afiuent. ROWING TO AND IN THE RUSIZI. On the morning of the eleventh day of our de- parture from-Ujiji, we were rowed towards the river, We came to along narrow bay, fringed on all sides with tall, dense reeds and swarming with crocodiles, and soon came to the mouth of the Rusizi. Assoon as we had entered the river all doubt vanished before the strong, turbid flood against which we had to contend in the ascent. After about ten minutes we entered what seemed a lagoon, but which was the result of a late inundation. About an hour higher up the river began to be confined to its proper banks, and is about thirty yards broad, but very shallow. AFFLUENT AND CONFLUENT. Two days higher up Ruhinga told us the Rusizi was joined by the Loanda, coming from the northwest. There could be no mistake then. Dr. Livingstone and ee had ascended it, had felt the force of cay strong a current—the indomitable energy 1 ~ mntinied and absolutely re. “t4. 1 budge @ and TO USIST HE WAS OBLIGED TO RETU. & baMed, sick and weary and destitute mad, ‘tt was tn this state your correspondent met him only” eighteen days after bis arrival. So far had the traveller gone north that he was at the beginning of the final and certain end. Six hundred miles of watershed had been examined carefully. At the beginning of the seventh hundred the false slaves sent to him from the British Consul at Zanzibar, and who were to him as escort, rose up against him, saying in their determined actions, “Thus far you shall go, and and not one step further.” THE UNDISCOVERED LINK. That this remarkable river (the Lualaba) fs the Nile and none other no one doubts, but this one lttle blank—this one little link—who will fill it up? How will imagination fill up the void? In this blank, north of latitude four degrees south, is a lake, it was reported to Dr. Livingstone—may it not be Plaggia’s lake ’—out of which Letherick’s branch issues into the Bahr Ghazal and the White Nile. He has followed this river from eleven de- grees south to four degrees south—that is, through seven degrecs of latitude, or 420 geographical miics. It only wanted 180 miles more—this is the length of the undiscovered link—and the Nile, which had baMed oracles and sages, kings and em- perors, had been revealed throughont its length, TWO PROBLEMS REMAINING TO BE SOLVED. According to Livingstone two things yet remain before the Nile sources can be said to be discoy- ered. First—He has heard of the existence of four fountains, two of which give birth toa river fowing north, which is the Lualaba, and two to a river flowing south into inner Ethiopia, which is the Zambezi, thus verifying the statement which the Secretary of the Goddess Minerva at Sais made to Herodotus over two thousand years ago. He has heard of them repeatedly and tas been several times within a fortnight’s march trom them, but something always interposed to prevent him going to see them, These fountains require to be seen, Second—Remains the lnk alove described to be explored, THE STORIES WHICH THE DOCTOR RELATES of the two immense countries through which the great river runs read like fable.

He tells of ivory being turned into doorposts and eave stan- chions by the cannibals; of skilful manufactures of fine grass cloth, rivalling that of India; of a people 80 nearly approaching to white people and so extremely handsome that they eclipse anything ever seen in Africa; and from this fact supposes them to be descendants of the an- cient Egyptians, or of some of the lost tribes of.

TCE HBRALD EXPEDITION AURIVES IN TIME TO AID THE GREAT TRAVELLER. The Doctor arrived at Ujijion the 10th of October, the HERALD expedition on the éd of November, eighteen days later, and, as if guided by the hand of Providence, not a month too late nor a month too soon.

In returning to Ujiji we coasted along the west side of the Tanganyika, as far as the country of the Wasansi, whom we had to leave on no amicuble terms, owing to their hostility to Arabs, and ar- rived at Ujiji on the 18th of December, having been abeent twenty-eight days.

It ls erroneously supposed by his friends that Doctor Livingstone is most industriously attended to, that he receives annually, if not semi-annually, large supplies of cloth, beads and necessaries, Your correspondent begs to inform his friends that the HeRaLp Expedition found him turned back from his explorations when on the eve of being terminated thoroughly by the very mén sent to him by the British Consulate; that the expe- dition found him aitting down at Ujijt utterly destitute, robbed by the very men sent by the British Consulate at. Zanzibar with his caravan; that the HeraLp Expe- dition escorted him to Unyanyembe only in time to save his last stock of goods, for they wore rapialy being made away with by the very men entrusted by the British Consulate with the last lot of goods; that it was only by an accident that your corre- spondent saw a packet of letters addressed to Liy- ingstone, and so, forcibly, took one of Livingstone’s When we atrived at Unyanyemyp-syes Sales ot cloths, two bags of beads and one case of brandy had already disappeared out of the last lot, Neither are the supplies or letters hyrried up te him.

After spending Christmas at Uji Dr. Living- stone, escorted by the New York Heratp Expedi- tion, composed of forty Wanguana soldiers, well armed, left for Unyanyembe on the 26th of Decem- ber, 1871. In order to arrive safely, untroubled by wars and avaricious tribes, we eketched out a road to Unyan- yembe, thus :— Seven days by water south to Urimba, Ten days across the uninhabited forests of Ka- wendL, Twenty days through Unkonongo, direct east, Twelve days north through Unkonongo. Thence five days into Unyanyembe, where we arrived without adventure of any kind, except killing zebras, buffaloes and giraifes, after fifty-four days’ travel. The expedition snffered considerably from famine, and your correspondent. from fever, but these are incidental to the mareh in this country. “Ti2 MAN O¥ LRON’’ MARCHES ON FOOT—THE ROLL OF THE DEAD.
