CHAPTER XI.
Arrival of H.M.S.

"Gorgon"-- Dr.Livingstone's new steamer and Mrs.
Livingstone--Death of Mrs.Livingstone--Voyage to Johanna and the Rovuma--An attack upon the "Pioneer's" boats.
We anchored on the Great Luabo mouth of the Zambesi, because wood was much more easily obtained there than at the Kongone.
On the 30th, H.M.S.

"Gorgon" arrived, towing the brig which brought Mrs.
Livingstone, some ladies about to join their relatives in the Universities' Mission, and the twenty-four sections of a new iron steamer intended for the navigation of Lake Nyassa.

The "Pioneer" steamed out, and towed the brig into the Kongone harbour.

The new steamer was called the "Lady of the Lake," or the "Lady Nyassa," and as much as could be carried of her in one trip was placed, by the help of the officers and men of the "Gorgon," on board the "Pioneer," and the two large paddle-box boats of H.M.'s ship.
