Mr. Stanley's Emin Pasha Relief Expedition at Bagamoyo: Mr. Stanley and his comrades: Masai warriors behind, 1890. 'Mr. Jephson. Captain R.H. Nelson. Mr. H. M. Stanley. Surgeon Parke. Lieut. Stairs. We are indebted...to Mr. Churchill, her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Zanzibar, for some photographs taken by him, showing Mr. Stanley and his comrades and followers at Bagamoyo, where they were hospitably received, on their arrival from the interior, by Major Wissman, the commander of the German station. In one of our present Illustrations, Mr. Stanley, with Captain Nelson and Mr. Jephson standing at his right hand, Surgeon T. H. Parke and Lieutenant Stairs at his left, is seen apparently with a guard of honour behind consisting of Masai warriors, the fiercest savage race of East Africa. These are none of Mr. Stanley's own people, but were assembled to perform a war-dance before Mr. Stanley and the British Consul-General, as part of the entertainment provided by their German hosts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
