On May, 31st, 1872 he has written down in the magazine: ' As to sources of Nile I am in a condition of eternal doubts and uncertainty. I have learnt too much to confirm something defined. The big Lualaba... It can appear both Congo, and Nile, and eventually and shorter river. Flowing in northern and southern directions sources decline me in favour of the assumption, that the Big Lualaba-it a source of Nile, however the big deviation on the West speaks well for Congo. As one would be convenient to trust in something, as Bejker. Remember, at it: ' each drop of water, beginning from a small rain to a roaring mountain stream, should run into Albert's lake, in this cradle of the giant '. As it is pleasant to be assured '.
Having received the supplies sent from coast, Livingstone has turned again on the south with intention to open sources of Nile which he assumed to find in the neighbourhood with lake Bangveolo. The amplified illness stirred to fast advancement of group, but nevertheless coast of lake it has reached. On the night of April, 30th, 1873 Livingstone has died. Almost its last words were: ' How many days of a way from here to Luapuly? ' the Research heat did its tireless to the death, but works already it is a lot of years podkashivali its force, and he has died, prematurely having grown old, and not having resolved muchivshej its riddles. Nevertheless Livingstone remains to one of the largest figures in the field of research of Africa. Its positive achievements have played a huge role and have absolutely changed a card of Africa. Courageous in danger, patient in misadventures, it remained the incorrigible pighead; its last travel after farewell with Stenli was time waste, and it, undoubtedly, has accelerated his death. Perhaps, it remains in memory of people more likely thanking its personal qualities, than to the extent of achievements as the traveller.
