Présentation de l'éditeur

Africa has been slow in revealing its mysteries; and, though the great problems connected with its lakes, rivers and mountain ranges have mostly now been solved, we have still an immense amount to learn about the details of its geography, and the characteristics of the varied races and tribes scattered over the great continent. There is a wide circle of readers who are eager to gather all they can on these subjects from the accounts of those who have penetrated to the remoter districts, and who feel the peculiar fascination of wellwritten books of travel. To such, no less than to those who care for the spread of the Gospel of Christ, Mr Lloyd needs no introduction. For ten years he has laboured as a missionary in the western parts of the Uganda Protectorate; and last year he returned for the second time on furlough to this country. The natural way of coming home, whether from Toro or Unyoro, would have been by the Victoria Nyanza and Mombasa on the east coast; but with his missionary zeal Mr Lloyd combines a large measure of that spirit of adventure which is the heritage of Englishmen.
