However, the latter had already died and the expedition met up with the explorer's entourage bearing his body. Cameron decided to press on; he retrived Livingstone's papers at Ujiji, explorerd Lake Tanganyika further and then endeavoured to trace the connection to the Congo River ( in which he failed) but continued westwards to become the first European to cross the continent. 389 + 366 pp plus 12 pp ads; with all engraved plates present, MAP MISSING from pocket at rear.
