HISTORY IN AN OLD CHEST
Newly-diseovcred Livingstone relics were on exhibition recently at the Livingstone Memorial, Blantyre, Lanarkshire. They consist of the contents of a medicine chest and various other articles from the house in Rothesay Terrace, Edinburgh, where the explorer’s daughter, Mrs. Agnes Living.stone Bruce, lived until her death in 1912. One of the most valuable finds Is a small collection of rock specimens from the Victoria Falls. Here are comments from a notebook that belonged to Mrs. Bruce:— 1867— March 7. “Frightful report of papa’s death.” 1868— January 19. “The search party returned with the cheering news proving that the horrible report is false.” 1868—April 21. “The long-wished-for letter from dear papa has come, setting all fears at rest.”
