		The plan of the expedition was to go to Cairo, then to Zanzibar to hire porters, then south of Africa, around the Cape, to the mouth of the Congo, up the Congo by Leopold's steamers, branching off at the Aruwimi River.
		Although King Leopold had promised a flotilla of river steamers, only one (the Stanley) worked; Stanley requisitioned two (Peace and Henry Reed) from missionaries, whose protests were overridden, and the Florida, which was still under construction and so used as a barge.

	Grenfell, George, Cameroons / Congo / P.D.R. Congo, Baptist Missionary Society
		Grenfell, along with William Holman Bentley, the leading BMS missionary on the lower river, and A. Baynes in London, shared this generally optimistic evaluation of Leopold and his Free State, and they stubbornly held to this view until long after most informed observers had revised their estimate of Leopold's alleged benevolence.
		By the mid-1890s evidence was accumulating of widespread atrocities perpetrated by Belgian agents in the conduct of the rubber trade.
		In the final months of his life, Grenfell continued to ponder which was the more feasible route of further advance from Yakusu--whether eastward toward Uganda, as Arthington had urged, or southward along the river toward LMS territory.[17] He died at Basoko, near the junction of the Aruwimi and the Congo, on July 1, 1906.

		There are granite outcrops in the valleys of the Lovoi and upper Lomami, and in the region between the Lubilash (Sankuru) and Kwango rivers the ravines worn in the softer sandstones frequently expose an underlying granite.
		Rivers like the Congo and its affluents are ever depositing sand and mud, or even building bars and islands in their course.

		He then went south, circumnavigated Lake Tanganyika, and headed west to the Lualaba River, a headstream of the Congo River.
		In a great journey of discovery, Stanley navigated down the Lualaba and Congo rivers as far as Livingstone Falls, which he named (becoming the first European to investigate the main stream).
		During this expedition, Stanley discovered the Ruwenzori Range, the so-called Mountains of the Moon, and found that the Semliki River linked Lake Albert to Lake Edward; he also traced the course of much of the Aruwimi River.
