The breach between them was never healed.Speke was only thirty-seven when he died in a shooting accident.It was not until years later that he was proven to have been right and that Lake Victoria Nyanza is the true source of the Nile.The volume which Captain Speke has presented to the world possesses more than geographic interest.
