Lieutenant Edward Daniel Young led a successful '...boat expedition up the River Zambesi in search of Dr. Livingstone...It is at the same time reported to the British Consul at Zanzibar that a white man, supposed to be Dr. Livingstone, has been seen on the shore of Lake Tanganyika...At the meeting,...Mr. Young and Captain Faulkner were present; and Mr. Young, who is a warrant officer of the Royal Navy, but an experienced African traveller, was received with all the honour due to him for his zeal and courage, and for his skill and intelligence, in the conduct of this enterprise...Mr. Young's official report to the president, narrating the progress and result of his expedition, was read to the meeting. The chairman then invited Mr. Young to address the meeting and to tell them something more of his experiences and observations. He was loudly cheered on coming forward, and his narrative was listened to with great interest. A few anecdotes were related afterwards by Captain Faulkner'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
