Lieutenant
Cameron
offered
to
go
over
the
same
road
.
The
offer
was
accepted
.
Cameron
,
accompanied
by
Dr.
Dillon
,
Lieutenant
Cecil
Murphy
and
Robert
Moffat
,
a
nephew
of
Livingstone
,
started
from
Zanzibar
.
After
having
crossed
Ougogo
,
he
met
Livingstone
's
faithful
servants
carrying
their
master
's
body
to
the
eastern
coast
.
He
continued
his
route
to
the
west
,
with
the
unconquerable
desire
to
pass
from
one
coast
to
the
other
.
He
crossed
Ounyanyembe
,
Ougounda
,
and
Kahouele
,
where
he
collected
the
great
traveler
's
papers
.
Having
passed
over
Tanganyika
,
and
the
Bambarre
mountains
,
he
reached
Loualaba
,
but
could
not
descend
its
course
.
After
having
visited
all
the
provinces
devastated
by
war
and
depopulated
by
the
slave
trade
,
Kilemmba
,
Ouroua
,
the
sources
of
the
Lomane
,
Oulouda
,
Lovale
,
and
having
crossed
the
Coanza
and
the
immense
forests
in
which
Harris
has
just
entrapped
Dick
Sand
and
his
companions
,
the
energetic
Cameron
finally
perceived
the
Atlantic
Ocean
and
arrived
at
Saint
Philip
of
Benguela
.
This
journey
of
three
years
and
four
months
had
cost
the
lives
of
his
two
companions
,
Dr.
Dillon
and
Robert
Moffat
.
Henry
Moreland
Stanley
,
the
American
,
almost
immediately
succeeded
the
Englishman
,
Cameron
,
on
the
road
of
discoveries
.
We
know
that
this
intrepid
correspondent
of
the
New
York
Herald
,
sent
in
search
of
Livingstone
,
had
found
him
on
October
30th
,
1871
,
at
Oujiji
,
on
Lake
Tanganyika
.
Having
so
happily
accomplished
his
object
for
the
sake
of
humanity
,
Stanley
determined
to
pursue
his
journey
in
the
interest
of
geographical
science
.
His
object
then
was
to
gain
a
complete
knowledge
of
Loualaba
,
of
which
he
had
only
had
a
glimpse
.
Cameron
was
then
lost
in
the
provinces
of
Central
Africa
,
when
,
in
November
,
1874
,
Stanley
quitted
Bagamoga
,
on
the
eastern
coast
.
Twenty-one
months
after
,
August
24th
,
1876
,
he
abandoned
Oujiji
,
which
was
decimated
by
an
epidemic
of
smallpox
.
In
seventy-four
days
he
effected
the
passage
of
the
lake
at
N'yangwe
,
a
great
slave
market
,
which
had
been
already
visited
by
Livingstone
and
Cameron
.
Here
he
witnessed
the
most
horrible
scenes
,
practised
in
the
Maroungou
and
Manyouema
countries
by
the
officers
of
the
Sultan
of
Zanzibar
.
Stanley
then
took
measures
to
explore
the
course
of
the
Loualaba
and
to
descend
it
as
far
as
its
mouth
.
One
hundred
and
forty
bearers
,
engaged
at
N'yangwe
,
and
nineteen
boats
,
formed
the
material
and
the
force
of
his
expedition
.
From
the
very
start
he
had
to
fight
the
cannibals
of
Ougouson
.
From
the
start
,
also
,
he
had
to
attend
to
the
carrying
of
boats
,
so
as
to
pass
insuperable
cataracts
.
Under
the
equator
,
at
the
point
where
the
Loualaba
makes
a
bend
to
the
northeast
,
fifty-four
boats
,
manned
by
several
hundred
natives
,
attacked
Stanley
's
little
fleet
,
which
succeeded
in
putting
them
to
flight
.
Then
the
courageous
American
,
reascending
as
far
as
the
second
degree
of
northern
latitude
,
ascertained
that
the
Loualaba
was
the
upper
Zaire
,
or
Congo
,
and
that
by
following
its
course
he
could
descend
directly
to
the
sea
.
This
he
did
,
fighting
nearly
every
day
against
the
tribes
that
lived
near
the
river
.
