Overview

Excerpt from The Opening of a World Ardent expectations centre on the Congo country. Here Mr. H. M. Stanley, under the patronage of the International African Association, is conducting a generously-equipped party of some twenty Europeans and one hundred Africans. Part of his grand mission is the Opening of a road ten feet wide on the north side of the Congo or Livingstone river, and the establishment of rest-houses, supplied with goods, provisions, and medical stores for trade, travellers, and missionaries. This indefatigable explorer has founded the first civilizing station at Vivi. The next is to be at Stan ley Pool, and two others are to be far inland. He is sur mounting the gigantic difficulties in the way, and continues sanguine of his ability to ascend this mighty river to its source.
