Return of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition: sketches from Zanzibar - Bagamoyo, opposite Zanzibar, with encampment of Mr. Stanley's followers, 1890. 'Several Illustrations of the return of Mr. H. M. Stanley's expedition to Zanzibar, embarking at Bagamoyo, on the opposite coast of East Africa, and crossing the channel to the island of Zanzibar with an escort of ships of the British and German squadrons, appear in this week's number of our Journal. They are from sketches by our Special Artist. Captain Wissman, the German commander at Bagamoyo, gave Mr. Stanley and Emin Pasha a friendly reception; and Emin Pasha is still unable to leave that place in consequence of his severe illness and the injury he suffered from an accidental fall out of the window of the house in which he was lodged. The house occupied by Mr. Stanley, and the huts of his party of Zanzibar men, and of the Egyptians he brought from the Upper Nile, are shown in our View of Bagamoyo. On landing at Zanzibar he became the guest of the British Consul, Colonel Euan Smith, and remained there until his departure up the Red Sea to Suez, where he arrived on Jan. 13; since then he has been at Cairo, entertained with much honour by the Khedive and Government of Egypt'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
