But
was
there
any
probability
that
Dr.
Livingstone
would
soon
visit
that
part
of
the
continent
?
Yes
,
for
in
following
that
missionary
tour
,
he
was
going
to
complete
the
exploration
of
Central
Africa
.
We
know
the
heroic
life
of
this
son
of
the
tea
merchant
,
who
lived
in
Blantyre
,
a
village
in
the
county
of
Lanark
.
Born
on
the
13th
of
March
,
1813
,
David
Livingstone
,
the
second
of
six
children
,
became
,
by
force
of
study
,
both
a
theologian
and
doctor
.
After
making
his
novitiate
in
the
"
London
Missionary
Society
,
"
he
embarked
for
the
Cape
in
1840
,
with
the
intention
of
joining
the
missionary
Moffat
in
Southern
Africa
.
From
the
Cape
,
the
future
traveler
repaired
to
the
country
of
the
Bechnanas
,
which
he
explored
for
the
first
time
,
returned
to
Kuruman
and
married
Moffat
's
daughter
,
that
brave
companion
who
would
be
worthy
of
him
.
In
1843
he
founded
a
mission
in
the
valley
of
the
Mabotsa
.
Four
years
later
,
we
find
him
established
at
Kolobeng
,
two
hundred
and
twenty-five
miles
to
the
north
of
Kuruman
,
in
the
country
of
the
Bechnanas
.
Two
years
after
,
in
1849
,
Livingstone
left
Kolobeng
with
his
wife
,
his
three
children
and
two
friends
,
Messrs.
Oswell
and
Murray
.
August
1st
,
of
the
same
year
,
he
discovered
Lake
N'gami
,
and
returned
to
Kolobeng
,
by
descending
the
Zouga
.
In
this
journey
Livingstone
,
stopped
by
the
bad
will
of
the
natives
,
had
not
passed
beyond
the
N'gami
.
A
second
attempt
was
not
more
fortunate
.
A
third
must
succeed
.
Then
,
taking
a
northern
route
,
again
with
his
family
and
Mr.
Oswell
,
after
frightful
sufferings
(
for
lack
of
food
,
for
lack
of
water
)
that
almost
cost
him
the
lives
of
his
children
,
he
reached
the
country
of
the
Makalolos
beside
the
Chobe
,
a
branch
of
the
Zambezi
.
The
chief
,
Sebituane
,
joined
him
at
Linyanti
.
At
the
end
of
June
,
1851
,
the
Zambezi
was
discovered
,
and
the
doctor
returned
to
the
Cape
to
bring
his
family
to
England
.
In
fact
,
the
intrepid
Livingstone
wished
to
be
alone
while
risking
his
life
in
the
daring
journey
he
was
going
to
undertake
.
On
leaving
the
Cape
this
time
,
the
question
was
to
cross
Africa
obliquely
from
the
south
to
the
west
,
so
as
to
reach
Saint
Paul
de
Loanda
.
