GENEVA-AFRICA
The Journal of the Geneva-Africa Institute
Africa in time past lent the European imagination that touch of exotic adventure which its own milieu did not always provide. That time is no more. Africa today seeks her own way through difficulties and incertitudes to which no one open to her desire to meet on terms of
equality can remain indifferent.
It is the wish of GENEVA-AFRICA to be an active partner in this unconditional dialogue, and to contribute to a deeper comprehension of the problems and opportunities facing an emergent Africa.

NORMAN ROBERT BENNETT
Arthur W. Dodgshun was a member of the London Missionary Society expedition to establish a mission station at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, a venture undertaken in 1876 in the wave of new support and interest in Africa following Livingstone's death. Because the site of Ujiji was nine hundred miles from the coast, one of the mission's major con- cerns was the problem of transport, as, unlike earlier independent travelers who had no plans for settling in the interior, the mission station would require a regular and extensive delivery of supplies. Dodgshun's journal, covering two years of this long and hazardous
expedition, has been annotated by Norman Robert Bennett, whose in- troduction places the problem of inland transport in East Africa in historical perspective.
