Text Appearing Before Image:
ain von Wiese, who had been helping me in our final preparations, I travelled to Hamburg, where I met the other members of the party, and enjoyed a farewell dinner in Dr. Aufschlagers hospitable house. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg graced the occasion with his presence, as did Her Serene Highness Princess Henry of Reusz and her eldest son. Finally they accompanied us on board the mail steamer Eleonore Woermann, where a number of Berlin and Hamburg friends and acquaintances had assembled on deck. The time passed in pleasant conversation until at high tide we were informed that the steamer was ready to start. The last visitors went ashore, thus severing viii FROM THE CONGO TO THE NIGER the final link that united us with Germany. And as we glided slowly through the splendid harbour of Hamburg, past all the huge wharfs and dockyards slumbering in the dim light of dawn, we shut our eyes to the past, and turned our attention to the uncertain future, with an earnest prayer for success.
