The Livingstone Aid Expedition: camp at Rehenniko, overlooking the Makata Swamp, 1873. Engraving of a sketch by Assistant-Surgeon W. E. Dillon, R.N., second in command of the Livingstone Search and Relief Expedition. '"We encountered no difficulties in crossing the Unkerengeri or the Makata river; the great swamp was in good travelling order, and we reached Rehenniko, in Usagara, May 1. We were here detained one month, waiting for Murphy, a Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, who had volunteered from Aden, where he was quartered, to join the expedition, and Moffat, a nephew of Dr. Livingstone. Murphy arrived on May 26, but poor young Moffat had fallen a victim to the fever of the country on the day previous. He was a healthy, wiry-looking young fellow when he joined us at Bagamoyo, full of energy and work, and, having been born in South Africa, was never out of the country".' From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
