Steamers onthe Lower Congo carry on direct trade with Antwerp and Liverpool. History and Government.—All efforts to explore the Congo fromthe sea or to discover whence its vast volume of water was derived werewithout effect, and the existence of the great inland course of the river wasunknown until, in 1876, Sir. H. M. Stanley struck its upper waters in EastAfrica and followed the river to the Atlantic Ocean. On the initiative ofLeopold II., King of the Belgians, a society called Comite dFJudesdu HaulCongo was formed in Brussels in November, 1878, with the object of ex-ploring and exploiting the basin of the river Congo, the vast size andimportance of which had just been revealed. In 1879, Stanley, accom-panied by fifteen Europeans, returned to the Congo, his first aim beingto make a practicable road through the cataract region to the upper river.. 978 The International Geography At Vivi, the highest point of the river navigable from the sea, he estab-Hshed a station directly below the last of the cataracts, and made his roadalong the right bank nearly due north to Isanghila, after which it took aneastward course, following the river as closely as possible to Manyanga^where he crossed and proceeded up the left bank to Stanley Pool. Herehe established the station now known as Leopoldville. At Stanley Pool asteamer was soon launched, and the difficulty of communication with theinterior was thus greatly reduced, since from Stanley Pool to StanleyFalls, 1, 000 miles further up the main river, steamers of comparativelylarge size can voyage in safety at all seasons of the year. Mr. Stanleyspent five years in the work of exploration, and soon after his return toEurope the society became merged in the Association InternationaleAfricaine. In 1885 the Berlin Congress guaranteed the Congo Free Stateas a Sovereig
