'England has always marched at the head of the nations' (for it
is noticeable that the nations invariably march at each other's
heads), 'through the intrepidity of her travellers in the sphere of
geographical discovery. (Hear, hear.) Dr Samuel Fergusson, one of
her famous sons, will not fail the land of his birth. (Hear, hear,
from all sides.) This venture, if it succeeds (It will succeed!),
will link together and complete the present scattered knowledge of
African cartography, and——(vehement applause),and if it fails (No!
No! ) it will at least live as one of the most
audaciousconceptions of the human mind!' (Frenzied cheers.)
'Hurrah! hurrah!' shouted the assembly, electrified by these
stirring words.
'Three cheers for brave Fergusson!' cried one of the more
exuberantmembers of the audience, and there was an outburst of
enthusiastic cheer-ing. The name of Fergusson was on all lips, and
we are justified in thinking that it gained considerably from its
passage through English throats, The Session Hall was shaken with
it.
Yet this was a gathering of bold explorers, aged and worn, whom
theirrestless temperaments had dragged through the four quarters of
the world.Physically or morally, they had practically all escaped
from shipwreck,fire, the tomahawk of the Indian, the club of the
savage, the torture-stake,and Polynesian stomachs!
