This is a first-hand account of the expedition led by H. M. Stanley
in 1887-89 to the relief of Emin Pasha, Governor of Equatoria. A.
J. Mounteney Jephson, a typical late Victorian traveller, took part
in Stanley's last expedition in Africa. His recently-discovered
diary describes the voyage out of the mouth of the Congo; the
journey up the Congo and across the Ituri forests to Lake Albert;
the meeting with Emin Pasha; the mutiny of Emin's troops and their
imprisonment of Emin and Jephson; and the journey back to the East
coast. Though it fell short of its political and commercial aims,
the expedition was important geographically as it solved the last
mystery of African topography - the position and nature of the
sources of the Nile.
