Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alexander Mackay: Missionary Hero of Uganda It was in the early part of 1876 that I made the acquaintance of A. M. Mackay, when, having offered for the mission to Uganda, I went up to London to meet those who were to be my fellow-missionaries in the ´Dark Continent.´ He sailed before me to Zanzibar, but we met again there for a short time. Then I left the coast with our first caravan, and a long time was to elapse before we were to see each other again. Two years passed; Lieutenant Smith and Mr. O´Neill had been murdered in December 1877, when in the summer of 1878, having been nearly a year alone in Uganda, I heard from Mackay that he was sending up some stores to Kagei (at the southern end of the Nyanza) in charge of a native. Mtesa allowed me to go to meet this man, and after a voyage of more than a month in native canoes, one evening a point near Kagei came in sight.
