To which is added, the journal of Richard Lander from Kano to the sea-coast, partly by a more eastern route with a portrait of captain Clapperton, and a map of the route, chiefly laid down from actual observations for latitude and longitude" . Clapperton was sent out in 1825 for a second expedition to Africa, the sultan Bello of Sokoto having professed his eagerness to open up trade with the west coast. He landed at Badagry in the Bight of Benin, and started overland for the Niger and, passing through the Yoruba country, in January 1826 he crossed the Niger at Bussa, the spot where Mungo Park had died twenty years before. In July, Clapperton arrived at Kano and thence the Fulani capital Sokoto, intending to continue to Bornu. However, the Fulani were now at war with al-Kaneimi, and Sultan Bello refused him permission to leave. After many months' detention, afflicted by malaria, depression, and dysentery, Clapperton died, leaving his servant Richard Lander the only survivor of the expedition. |
