Jose-Antonio
Alvez
found
that
the
explorations
of
these
hardy
pioneers
could
only
injure
commercial
operations
.
His
interlocutor
shared
his
views
,
and
thought
that
all
these
visitors
,
civil
or
religious
,
should
be
received
with
gun-shots
.
This
had
been
done
to
some
extent
.
But
,
to
the
great
displeasure
of
the
traders
,
if
they
killed
some
of
these
curious
ones
,
others
escaped
them
.
Now
,
these
latter
,
on
returning
to
their
country
,
recounted
"
with
exaggerations
,
"
Alvez
said
,
the
horrors
of
the
slave-trade
,
and
that
injured
this
commerce
immensely
--
it
being
too
much
diminished
already
.
The
mongrel
agreed
to
that
,
and
deplored
it
;
above
all
,
concerning
the
markets
of
N'yangwe
,
of
Oujiji
,
of
Zanzibar
,
and
of
all
the
great
lake
regions
.
There
had
come
successively
Speke
,
Grant
,
Livingstone
,
Stanley
,
and
others
.
It
was
an
invasion
!
Soon
all
England
and
all
America
would
occupy
the
country
!
Alvez
sincerely
pitied
his
comrade
,
and
he
declared
that
the
provinces
of
Western
Africa
had
been
,
till
that
time
,
less
badly
treated
--
that
is
to
say
,
less
visited
;
but
the
epidemic
of
travelers
was
beginning
to
spread
.
If
Kazounde
had
been
spared
,
it
was
not
so
with
Cassange
,
and
with
Bihe
,
where
Alvez
owned
factories
.
It
may
be
remembered
,
also
,
that
Harris
had
spoken
to
Negoro
of
a
certain
Lieutenant
Cameron
,
who
might
,
indeed
,
have
the
presumption
to
cross
Africa
from
one
side
to
the
other
,
and
after
entering
it
by
Zanzibar
,
leave
it
by
Angola
.
In
fact
,
the
trader
had
reason
to
fear
,
and
we
know
that
,
some
years
after
,
Cameron
to
the
south
and
Stanley
to
the
north
,
were
going
to
explore
these
little-known
provinces
of
the
west
,
describe
the
permanent
monstrosities
of
the
trade
,
unveil
the
guilty
complicities
of
foreign
agents
,
and
make
the
responsibility
fall
on
the
right
parties
.
Neither
Alvez
nor
the
mongrel
could
know
anything
yet
of
this
exploration
of
Cameron
's
and
of
Stanley
's
;
but
what
they
did
know
,
what
they
said
,
what
Mrs.
Weldon
heard
,
and
what
was
of
such
great
interest
to
her
--
in
a
word
,
what
had
sustained
her
in
her
refusal
to
subscribe
at
once
to
Negoro
's
demands
,
was
this
:
Before
long
,
very
probably
,
Dr.
David
Livingstone
would
arrive
at
Kazounde
.
Now
,
the
arrival
of
Livingstone
with
his
escort
,
the
influence
which
the
great
traveler
enjoyed
in
Africa
,
the
concourse
of
Portuguese
authorities
from
Angola
that
could
not
fail
to
meet
him
,
all
that
might
bring
about
the
deliverance
of
Mrs.
Weldon
and
hers
,
in
spite
of
Negoro
,
in
spite
of
Alvez
.
It
was
perhaps
their
restoration
to
their
country
within
a
short
time
,
and
without
James
W.
Weldon
risking
his
life
in
a
journey
,
the
result
of
which
could
only
be
deplorable
.
