| description |
Has reached the "farthest inland station of the Portuguese" [Tette, Tete]; has been able to follow his plan of "opening a way to the sea, on either the East or West coast, from a healthy locality in the Interior of the continent"; perceives the Zambesi [Zambezi] as the means of conveyance by water through a "fine fertile country" to the Makololo; refers to the only impediments known as being "one or two rapids, not cataracts"; kindness of Portuguese; "I am not so elated in having performed what has not, to my knowledge, been done before in traversing the continent, because the end of the geographical feat is but the beginning of the missionary enterprise."; has travelled on foot as oxen all dead by Tsetse and too poor to buy a canoe; no fever all the way from Linyati.
