She intended to serve as an example of what Englishwomen could achieve in Africa and encourage emigration there. Travelling by train and hammock with a retinue of 49 native bearers, she got as far as Lake Tanganyika before having to divert to Mozambique after her porters refused to go on in the face of an epidemic of sleeping sickness" (Robinson 216).
