Letters 14 and 15 describe the two successive journeys that Brasseur undertook in the spring and summer of 1897. The first one – to the south-western corner of Lake Mweru and the Lubule River – was prompted by the mistaken assumption that a resupply caravan was due to transit through the area. The journey was cut short by the news of the Force Publique’s mutiny on the upper Ituri River in February. The second journey, to the capital of the Kazembe of the Lualaba, was intended to create more soldier outposts and to repress an anti-Yeke rising by the Bena Mitumba. From the upper Lualaba River, Brasseur and his party proceeded to the Luapula River, which they reached at the beginning of September, making their way back to Lofoi after visiting Mambilima Falls and some Yeke settlements in the western half of the lower Luapula valley.

It is with real joy that I am heading for Kiwala’s,* for I have been fuming for more than one year thinking about the impunity enjoyed by that animal and the Negro cheek with which he has been making fun of me. Passed by—and met again with—Kikola,* as filthy as ever; his women yelled joyfully as we passed through. Same thing at Mokembe’s,* where I met Mwemena,* who had come to help build houses for us....

Brasseur’s last two letters describe the arrival of the resupply caravan led by Verdick and Delvaux in October 1897 and the subsequent large-scale expedition against Kiwala, on the upper Luapula River. Brasseur, who underestimated Kiwala’s strength, was hit by a gunshot at the outset of the siege, on the morning of 8 November, and died of his wound after an agony of approximately forty-eight hours. In the last entry in his travelogue – dating to 9 November – Brasseur bids farewell to his siblings and his Afro-European son, Léon.
