First Edi…tion. Elton was British Vice Consul at Zanzibar, 1873-75, and Consul at Mozambique from 1875 until his death, and was actively engaged in many expeditions for the suppression of the East African slave trade. The present account includes descriptions of his journey along the coast country between Dar-es-Salaam and Kilwa in 1875 and his 1877 expeditions from Mozambique to the Makua country, and to the Zambesi River and Lake Nyassa in search of a possible route from the north end of the lake to Kilwa. He died of malaria during the course of this last journey. The introductory chapter on Africa and the slave trade was written by Mr. Holmwood, assistant political agent at Zanzibar, while the prefatory memoir of Elton was written by Horace Waller.
