	John Hanning Speke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speke's captor went to seek his own portion of the spoil, when a Somal came up and asked in Hindostani, what business the Frank had in their country, and added that he would kill him if a Christian, but spare the life of a brother Moslem.
		Speke, who had extricated his hands, caught the spear levelled at his breast, but received at the same moment a blow from a club which, paralyzing his arm, caused him to lose his hold.
		Speke's voyage did not resolve the issue, Burton claimed that because Speke had not followed the Nile from the place it flowed out of Lake Victoria to Gondokoro, he could not be sure they were the same river.

	The Nile Controversy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Speke and his companions did not map the extent of the lake or examine the basin further; instead, he accepted without doubt that he had found the source of the great Nile River and turned back to Kazeh.
		Speke was not in optimal health either; his sight was impaired because of a severe eye infection and he was partially deaf after unsuccessfully attempting to remove a beetle that had crawled into his ear.
		Speke may have captured the hearts and imagination of a nation with stories of the vast inland sea but in the end it was Burton's documentation and data that were required to convince the scientific community of their great discovery.

		Shortly after Speke met Burton on the Somali coast, their camp was attacked and sacked; Burton and Speke were wounded a brother officer killed, and the expedition was saved from destruction only because a friendly Arab boatmen took the survivors back to Aden.
		Speke, as fair and charming as Burton was saturnine and sarcastic, came of a Somerset family whose origins went back to the conquest of 1066, he was a fanatic about personal fitness, dominated by his mother and sisters, awkward with other women he had an narcissistic tinge to his make-up.
		Speke made a momentous foray northwards, and three weeks later, on August 3rd, 1858, beheld the huge expanse of the Sea of Ukerewe, which, he decided in a flash of inspiration was at last the Ptolemaic source of the Nile.

		Burton and Speke spent six months in Zanzibar port, the Arab flavour of which was decidedly to the eclectic taste of Burton, who spent his time learning Swahili and measuring the size of the male inhabitants' penises, an anthropological pursuit calculated to unsettle the prudish Speke.
		On Speke's return, he claimed that the lake to the north, which he had named Victoria, was the true source of the Nile.
		Speke's second expedition, however, did not return with incontrovertible proof that his claim was correct, and Burton continued to advance his own for Lake Tanganyika.

		Lieutenant Speke complains of the scarcity and the quality of the water, "which resembles the mixture commonly known as fl draught." Yet it appears not to injure health; and the only disease found endemic is an ophthalmia, said to return periodically every three years.
		Lieutenant Speke justly remarks that, on account of the rough way in which they are brought up, the Somal would become excellent policemen; they should, however, be separated from their own people, and doubtless the second generation might be trained into courage.
		Lieutenant Speke was of course recognised as a servant of Government; and savages cannot believe that a man wastes his rice and cloth to collect dead beasts and to ascertain the direction of streams.

	Speke's Journal, reviewed by Sean Redmond
		Speke had planned to go shooting in the Caucasus, but he and Burton set out in June 1857 to investigate the truth about the Tanganyika, a reportedly huge lake in central Africa and perhaps the long-sought source of the Nile.
		Speke's shortcomings as a geographer and explorer were many.
		Speke's account of their "paganism" is equally careless, and what religion he could discern is taken only as evidence of their fall from grace.

		Small and delicate, Speke's gazelles are brown, dog-sized antelope with white patches around the bases of their tails and on the backs of their thighs.
		Speke's gazelles have an odd but distinctive trait: When they get scared or nervous, they inflate the skin on the tops of their muzzles, amplifying the already loud snorts they use to alert one another of danger.
		Keepers at the St. Louis Zoo in the 1980s saw a familiar pattern among the Speke's gazelle population: low birth weights and steadily decreasing levels of fertility and viability that are typical of inbred populations.

	Relocating Burton: Public and Private Writings on Africa
		Perhaps it is unsurprising to discover Speke describing the--to him--indistinguishable Africans in terms of animals, since on the whole Burton is more interested in the people they encounter and their ways of life, Speke in what wildlife he can see and get a shot at.
		Speke claims to have conducted interviews with the local people, but throughout his African explorations he was at the mercy of interpreters, since he spoke no native African languages.
		Speke never seems to have learned this as Burton did, and his writing as a result is full of bluster and impatience at African interruptions and interference with his business on their continent.
