Description:
John Hanning Speke was given the command of an expedition which left England in April 1860, in company with Captain James Augustus Grant, to ascertain still further if the Victoria Nyanza were indeed the source of the Nile. He met with Sir Samuel Baker, to whom he gave valuable assistance, and who with his clue discovered the third lake, Albert Nyanza. Speke telegraphed early in 1863, that the Nile source was traced.
