Visit of Arabs to Livingstone and Stanley at Unyanyembe, 1872. 'There are three different routes for the traveller from Bagamoyo to Unyanyembe. Two of them were passed over by Captains Burton, Speke, and Grant; the third is now first described by Mr. Stanley, though it has long been used by the Arab traders...The distance in a straight line is but 360 miles, but it is 520 by the caravan path. Mr. Stanley traversed it in three months, arriving at Unyanyembe on June 23, and doing the last 178 miles by forced marches in sixteen days...On entering the Ugogo territory, Mr, Stanley joined the caravans of Sheikh Hamed and Sheikh Thani, also on their road to Unyanyembe, making a combined force of 400 men. When they got to Unyanyembe, they found the resident Arab chiefs holding a council of war'. Illustration from "How I Found Livingstone; Travels, Adventures, and Discoveries in Central Africa; Including Four Months' Residence with Dr. Livingstone;" by Henry M. Stanley, Travelling Correspondent of the New York Herald. Published in "Illustrated London News", 1872.
