Cameron in his memorable overland journey across the entire continent from east to west; and the crowning triumph of all, won by the daring and intrepid Stanley, in facing a thousand perils by savages, cataracts, disease, wild basts and starvation, but by an almost superhuman heroism, forcing his way down the dark river 2500 miles, and solving the great mystery by proving Livingstone's Lualaba verily the headwaters of the mighty CONGO.
