![Stanley (Sir Henry Morton) and John Hanning Speke. foldng heavy metal frame thick woven cloth seat soiled [c.1860]. ***A high](http://lot-images.atgmedia.com/SR/1574/2779455/126_468x382.jpg)
Stanley (Sir Henry Morton) and John Hanning Speke. foldng heavy metal frame thick woven cloth seat soiled [c.1860]. ***A highly important survival from the golden age of African exploration with an impeccable provenance. Provenance: John Hanning Speke then gifted to Mutesa King of Buganda in turn gifted to Sir Henry Morton Stanley. In February of 1862 Speke and his party were five months into their search for the true source of the Nile. They had reached the kingdom of Buganda and now had to seek permission from the king to continue their journey through his land. The king was taken by the company and indeed gifts of the party and encouraged Speke to stay until the July. On the 3rd July Speke records in his journal that he `took a Lancaster rifle with ammunition and the iron chair he [the king] formerly asked for as parting present to the palace..`. In July 1875 Stanley arrived in Uganda and visited Mutesa`s court. In the customary exchange of gifts the king presented Stanley with the very same stool. Stanley records this in his copy of the second edition of Speke`s Journal where he writes in the margin of p.446 `This chair I have now`. (See the previous lot for this copy).

St. A Malleson` - 8 1/2 x 18Iin.

On the 25/6 April Midshipman Malleson and three others from the H.M.S. River Clyde (a former collier purchased as a landing ship) assisted the commander (Edward Unwin) of the ship at the work of securing the lighters under very heavy rifle and Maxim fire. When the other midshipman with the party had failed, through sheer exhaustion, to get a line from lighter to lighter, Malleson swam with it himself and succeeded. The line subsequently broke and he afterwards made two further unsuccessful attempts at his self-imposed task. He retired with the rank of Captain.
