Dr. Livingstone's remains at Southampton: procession to the railway station, 1874. The body of the explorer and missionary David Livingstone, who died in Africa, is returned to England. 'The procession, led by the Mayor, included the municipality and magistracy, the relatives of Dr. Livingstone, the members of the Royal Geographical Society, the clergy and medical gentlemen of the town, the Foreign Consuls, the School Board, the Council of the Hartley Institute, and committees of other literary societies. An immense throng of people stood in High-street, Bridge street, and Oxford-street, along the mile-long road to the station. Our Engraving shows the hearse, with the Rev. Dr. Moffat, Mr. Thomas Livingstone on his right, and Mr. Oswald Livingstone on his left hand, walking close behind it. Those who follow next the family are Colonel Grant, the Rev. Horace Waller, Mr. Young, and Mr. Webb; behind these are Mr. H. M. Stanley, Admiral Hall, and others; lastly, Jacob Wainwright..., a negro youth educated by the Church Missionary Society, who had been in Dr. Livingstone's service'. In his teens, Yamuza was kidnapped by Arab slave traders. He was rescued by a British anti-slavery ship, baptised a Christian and given the name "Jacob Wainwright." From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
