Excerpt from Up the Niger

The greater part of our time was naturally devoted to the most important object of the mission, viz., the inquiry into the working of the Royal Niger Company and as we were continually on the move, inspecting stations and inter viewing chiefs, there was little leisure for sport of any kind. The origin and growth of the first British chartered company in Africa is somewhat remarkable; and in these days, when British companies, with and without charters, are breaking fresh ground all over the Dark Continent, a summary of events which have resulted in the trade of one of the largest rivers of Africa falling into the hands of British merchants may be worthy of record.
