Description:
View of Congo River at Matadi looking down river. 1 is the old B.M.S. station
of Underhill where Lapsley is buried. 2 is the Swedish mission of Laundi. The
great Congo River holds the moral remains of Slaymaker. At the point marked 1
Underhill, the river turns at a sharp angle where it is very narrow, swift
and dangerous. The place is known as the "Devils Cauldron" and well deserves
its name.
