QUESTION 1
Read the excerpt from Into the Unknown by Stewart Ross.
The ship that brought Livingstone back to East Africa in May 1858 was a 157-foot steamer called the Pearl. On it were the pieces of a smaller river-going paddle steamer named Ma Robert (after Mrs. Livingstone, whose eldest son was named Robert). The British Government had built it especially for the explorer, who was now a celebrity. Livingstone’s plan was to sail the Pearl 260 miles upriver to the town of Tete, unloading stores along the way.
