The Livingstone Aid Expedition: Myumi, Usagara, 1873. Engraving of a sketch by Assistant-Surgeon W. E. Dillon, R.N., second in command of the Livingstone Search and Relief Expedition. '"After crossing the Usagara mountains we came on the Makondokwa river. The united caravan, numbering 240 souls and twenty-one donkeys, camped at Myumi, June 1. Here we were delayed by a very untoward event. We sent Pagazi and Askari to M'bumi to purchase corn. One of the latter mistaking one of the men of the village for one of a robber tribe, shot him. The Askari, however, states that it happened quite accidentally. Our blood-money came to eighty dhoti of cloth (value eighty dollars), two flint guns, and the value of two slaves, besides causing a delay of ten days".' From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
