The finding of Dr. Livingstone: return of Mr. Stanley to Bagamoyo, from a sketch by Lt. Henn, 1872. 'It appears that Mr. Stanley, [special correspondent of the New York Herald]...was sent...to find Dr. Livingstone, with no instructions but that he should "have an unlimited credit to carry out his own plans and use his own means." Mr. Stanley has done his work admirably well. He suffered terribly from fever in making a forced march through the flooded plains on his return from Ugogo to the coast during the rainy season. It was at Bagamoyo, a port opposite the island of Zanzibar, that Mr. Stanley, on his return, was met by the officers of the Livingstone Search Expedition. Our Illustration shows this meeting...The house is that in which the head-quarters of the Livingstone Search and Relief Expedition were placed on its arrival at Bagamoyo...On the evening of May 7 shots were heard, accompanied by the loud blowing of horns, immediately after which Mr. Stanley and his armed party were observed approaching, the American flag being carried in front. Mr. Stanley...was met by Lieutenant Henn, then commanding the expedition, who congratulated Mr. Stanley on the success of his great undertaking'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
