| Meer info | “edited and completed by H.B. Cotterill” As British consul to Mozambique he set off in 1877 to visit the British mission stations on Lake Nyassa, explore the lake and surrounding country and ascertain the possibility of a route from the north end of the lake to Quiloa, at which seaport he proposed to embark in a steamer for Zanzibar. His mission to the chiefs and the circumnavigation of the lake were successfully accomplished, but with the land journey he encountered difficulties. The country was devastated by wars among the different tribes and Elton was compelled to travel by a circuitous route to the north. There he collapsed from malaria and died. His journals were arranged, edited and completed by his hunting companion, H.B. Cotterill. |
