This heroic Scot, who at the age of ten went to work as a ' piecer ' in a cottonfactory and spent his first earnings on a Latin text book, changed the map of Africa. With infrequent intervals he explored the dark Continent for thirty years. He married out there, brought up his family, lost his wife, and, like her, gave his life to open up the country for others. The ordeals he suffered are as epic as they must have been terrible.
