"In Darkest Africa, Vol. 2; or, The Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin, Governor of Equatoria" by Henry M. Stanley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work captures the arduous journey and experiences of Stanley and his expedition as they set out to rescue Emin Pasha from Equatoria, detailing the physical challenges and interactions with native tribes. The narrative revolves around various characters, including Stanley himself and members of his expedition, as they navigate the dangers and mysteries of Africa. The opening of the second volume begins with the expedition's preparations for their third journey to the Nyanza. Stanley engages in discussions with Mr. Bonny and the Zanzibaris, who express their grievances about their conditions during the mission. This section delves into the hardships faced by the expedition members, highlighting issues of food scarcity, illness, and the toll that the journey has taken on their morale. A significant focus is placed on the detrimental effects of consuming poorly prepared manioc, leading to illness and death among the Zanzibari carriers. Stanley's leadership and attempts to understand and address the challenges faced by his team set the stage for the trials that will unfold as they continue their quest.
