Emin Pasha Relief Expedition at Banana Point, March 18, 1887: the steam-ship Madura transferring passengers to a Congo River steam-boat, 1890. 'The commencement of the long journey across Africa from west to east, ascending the river Congo to the Aruwimi, there establishing the camp at Yambuya for the rearguard and stores, and thence marching eastward to the shore of Lake Albert Nyanza, is dated March 18, 1887, when Mr. Stanley arrived in the Madura steamer, from Zanzibar, at Banana Point, at the mouth of the Congo, bringing with him nine European officers, sixty-one Soudanese soldiers, thirteen Somalis, 620 Zanzibar men, and three interpreters, accompanied by the famous Tippoo Tib, the Zanzibar Arab slave-trader of the Upper Congo, and 407 of Tippoo Tib's followers, some of whom were Manyemas of the country west of Lake Tanganyika. These people, and the stores for the expedition, were next day transferred at Banana Point to several small steamers, which would take them up the Congo to Matadi...Our Illustration, from a sketch by Mr. Herbert Ward, shows the operation of removing the stores from the sea-going steam-ship to the river steam-boats at Banana Point'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
