My Second Journey Through Equatorial Africa

Excerpt from My Second Journey Through Equatorial Africa: From the Congo to the Zambesi in the Years 1886 and 1887 In accordance with my habit since the year 1880, I am now visiting Germany only that I may recover from the fatigues of my work in Africa, and in order to gather new strength for further exploration of the Dark Continent. In spite of my having on account of illness as well as of business very little spare time during my four months' stay at home, I resolved to write down as a simple reproduction of my diaries the most noteworthy facts of my second journey through Africa. We can never know whether we may return from those uncivilised regions; and for this Reason, and since my last work - the suppression of the East African rebellion - suggests my publishing further accounts at a later period, I have written the following pages, which I beg the reader to accept as a simple narrative of my experiences and observations.
