Mr. D. RG Cameron, address ing the Royal Geographical Society, described a journey across the Bahara from. Kano (Northera Nigeria) to Varghia (Algerian Sahara). The route chosen, he said, the only one which apparently had not been already taken by any British travelior. He left Kano on October 11th, 1896, accompanied by three natives, one of whom was not fated to complete the journey.
