Young had been sent by the R.G.S. in 1868 to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the rumoured death of Dr. Livingstone and the party proceeded up the Zambesi to Nyassa country. This book is concerned with a later attempt to set up a large industrial mission on the shores of Lake Nyassa, and to explorations and discoveries on the lake itself.
