Ist. To go home, and take the rest he so well deserved and, as he
appeared then, to be so much in need of.
2nd. To proceed to Unyanyembe, receive his goods, and enlist
pagazis sufficient to enable him to travel anywhere, either to
Manyuema or Rua, and settle the Nile problem, which he said he
was in a fair way of doing.
3rd. To proceed to Unyanyembe, receive his caravan, enlist men,
and try to join Sir Samuel Baker, either by going to Muanza, and
sailing through Ukerewe or Victoria N'Yanza in my boats - which I
should put up - to Mtesa's palace at Uganda, thus passing by
Mirambo and Swaruru of Usui, who would rob him if he took the
usual caravan road to Uganda; thence from Mtesa to Kamrasi,
King of Unyoro, where he would of course hear of the great white
man who was said to be with a large force of men at Gondokoro.
4th. To proceed to Unyanyembe, receive his caravan, enlist men,
and return to Ujiji, and back to Manyuema by way of Uguhha.
5th. To proceed by way of the Rusizi through Ruanda, and so on
to Itara, Unyoro, and Baker.
For either course, whichever he thought most expedient, I and my
men would assist him as escort and carriers, to the best of our
ability.
