The British India steam-ship Katoria, which conveyed Mr. Stanley from Zanzibar to Suez, 1890. From a sketch by 'Mr. Joseph Bell, our Special Artist, [of the] Katoria, which conveyed Mr. H. M. Stanley and the English officers of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition, from the East Coast of Africa to Suez, after their sojourn at Zanzibar and their visit to Mombasa, the British East Africa Company's seat of administration, on Jan. 2...the distinguished guests were treated with great courtesy and kindness...a public luncheon was given...to Mr. Stanley and his companions, Colonel Euan Smith, the British Consul-General at Zanzibar, their host being Mr. George Mackenzie, the able administrator of the British East Africa Company's affairs in that large territory which has been committed to its rule. The Katoria is one of the ships...employed in the branch line of the British India Steam Navigation Company to Lamu, Mombasa, and Zanzibar, East African ports which have great commercial intercourse with Bombay. The British India Steam Navigation Company has many larger ships going to Colombo, Madras, and Calcutta, others to Kurrachee and Bombay, and others to Batavia and through Torres' Strait to Queensland, all passing through the Suez Canal'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
