The Livingstone Aid Expedition: crossing a river in East Africa, 1873. Engraving of a sketch by Assistant-Surgeon W. E. Dillon, R.N., second in command of the Livingstone Search and Relief Expedition. 'On April 16, after incessant journeying through an undulating densely-wooded country, it was refreshing to get a view of the Duthumi hills or mountains from our camp near the Unkerengeri river. This river we forded on the 17th (as shown in my sketch)...We encountered no difficulties in crossing the Unkerengeri or the Makata river; the great swamp was in good travelling order, and we reached Rehenniko, in Usagara, May 1'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
