With his usual energy, Mr.Waller hired canoes, loaded them with stores, and took them up the long weary way to Chibisa's.

Before he arrived he was informed that the Mission of the Universities, now deprived of its brave leader, had retired from the highlands down to the Low Shire Valley.

This appeared to us, who knew the danger of leading a sedentary life, the greatest mistake they could have made, and was the result of no other counsel or responsibility than their own.

Waller would have reascended at once to the higher altitude, but various objections stood in the way.

The loss of poor Scudamore and Dickinson, in this low-lying situation, but added to the regret that the highlands had not received a fair trial.
When the news of the Bishop's unfortunate collisions with the natives, and of his untimely end, reached England, much blame was imputed to him.
The policy, which with the formal sanction of all his companions he had adopted, being directly contrary to the advice which Dr.Livingstone tendered, and to the assurances of the peaceable nature of the Mission which the Doctor had given to the natives, a friendly disapproval of a bishop's engaging in war was ventured on, when we met him at Chibisa's in November.
