He was acting as Commissary of Ordnance at Aden when he was asked to join a relief search party sponsored by the Royal Geographic Society. The society were concerned about Doctor Livingstone after losing contact since the infamous meeting with Henry Morton Stanley and a relief party was formed under the command of Lieutenant Verney Lovett Cameron. The expedition was beset by tragedy from the outset, as Robert Moffat (a nephew of Livingstone) was struck down by fever and died. The expedition's progress was hindered by the mass desertion of carriers who were scared of being caught in the middle of a war between natives and Arab slave traders. All three men leading the party were struck by illness, Cameron was struck by fever that caused weeks of blindness and Dr William Dillon was delirious and suffering from internal inflammation. Upon meeting some of Livingstone's carriers in Unyanyembe they learned of the death of Livingstone but Cameron decided to press on with the expedition and became the first man to cross Central Africa coast to coast, while Murphy believing the expedition to have finished resigned and decided to escort Livingstone's body back to Bagamoyo. *Provenance.
