Primary record
I left Matadi on the 5th June, and arriving at Léopoldville on the 6th, remained in the neighbourhood of Stanley Pool until the 2nd July, when I set out for the Upper Congo.
and went round Lake Mantumba
I have no means of ascertaining the number of this class of armed men employed by the A.B.I.R. Company, but I saw many of them when up the Lopori River
I HAVE the honour to submit my Report on my recent journey on the Upper Congo.
