Return of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition: Mr. Stanley landing at the British Consulate, Zanzibar, 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. 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.
