| Meer info | Baikie was appointed surgeon and naturalist to the Niger expedition sent out in 1854 by Macgregor Laird. Ascending the Benue about 250 miles beyond the point reached by former explorers, the little steamer Pleiad returned and reached the mouth of the Niger, after a voyage of 118 days, without the loss of a single man. The expedition had been instructed to endeavour to afford assistance to explorer Heinrich Barth, but Baikie was unable to gain any trustworthy information concerning him. One of his other duties was to monitor the use of quinine which it was determined, quite rightly as it turned out, to be a protection for Europeans in the climate. |
