On
June
3d
,
1877
,
at
the
passage
of
the
cataracts
of
Massassa
,
he
lost
one
of
his
companions
,
Francis
Pocock
.
July
18th
he
was
drawn
with
his
boat
into
the
falls
of
M'belo
,
and
only
escaped
death
by
a
miracle
.
Finally
,
August
6th
,
Henry
Stanley
arrived
at
the
village
of
Ni-Sanda
,
four
days
'
journey
from
the
coast
.
Two
days
after
,
at
Banza-M
'
bouko
,
he
found
the
provisions
sent
by
two
merchants
from
Emboma
.

He
finally
rested
at
this
little
coast
town
,
aged
,
at
thirty-five
years
,
by
over-fatigue
and
privations
,
after
an
entire
passage
of
the
African
continent
,
which
had
taken
two
years
and
nine
months
of
his
life
.
However
,
the
course
of
the
Loualaba
was
explored
as
far
as
the
Atlantic
;
and
if
the
Nile
is
the
great
artery
of
the
North
,
if
the
Zambesi
is
the
great
artery
of
the
East
,
we
now
know
that
Africa
still
possesses
in
the
West
the
third
of
the
largest
rivers
in
the
world
--
a
river
which
,
in
a
course
of
two
thousand
,
nine
hundred
miles
,
under
the
names
of
Loualaba
,
Zaire
,
and
Congo
,
unites
the
lake
region
with
the
Atlantic
Ocean
.
However
,
between
these
two
books
of
travel
--
Stanley
's
and
Cameron
's
--
the
province
of
Angola
is
somewhat
better
known
in
this
year
than
in
1873
,
at
that
period
when
the
"
Pilgrim
"
was
lost
on
the
African
coast
.
It
was
well
known
that
it
was
the
seat
of
the
western
slave-trade
,
thanks
to
its
important
markets
of
Bihe
,
Cassange
,
and
Kazounde
It
was
into
this
country
that
Dick
Sand
had
been
drawn
,
more
than
one
hundred
miles
from
the
coast
,
with
a
woman
exhausted
by
fatigue
and
grief
,
a
dying
child
,
and
some
companions
of
African
descent
,
the
prey
,
as
everything
indicated
,
to
the
rapacity
of
slave
merchants
.

Yes
,
it
was
Africa
,
and
not
that
America
where
neither
the
natives
,
nor
the
deer
,
nor
the
climate
are
very
formidable
.
It
was
not
that
favorable
region
,
situated
between
the
Cordilleras
and
the
coast
,
where
straggling
villages
abound
,
and
where
missions
are
hospitably
opened
to
all
travelers
.
They
were
far
away
,
those
provinces
of
Peru
and
Bolivia
,
where
the
tempest
would
have
surely
carried
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
if
a
criminal
hand
had
not
changed
its
course
,
where
the
shipwrecked
ones
would
have
found
so
many
facilities
for
returning
to
their
country
.
It
was
the
terrible
Angola
,
not
even
that
part
of
the
coast
inspected
by
the
Portuguese
authorities
,
but
the
interior
of
the
colony
,
which
is
crossed
by
caravans
of
slaves
under
the
whip
of
the
driver
.
