It was in 1893 that Miss Kingsley started on her first journey of exploration in the mail steamer Lagos, Captain Murray commanding, for S. Paul de Loando. She made a valuable collection of marine fish, and was so successful that she resolved to make a second expedition, on which she started in December, 1894, sailing again with Captain Murray, but in the steamer Batanga. In both her expeditions she received the greatest kindness and help from officials, traders, and missionaries of all nationalities, French, German, and
