David Livingstone your own eye only, ... Doubtful if I live to see you again ..." Henry Morton Stanley had been sent to find him by the "New York Herald" newspaper in 1869. He found Livingstone in the town of Ujiji on the shores of Lake Tanganyika on 10 November 1871, greeting him with the now famous words "Dr Livingstone, I presume?" Livingstone responded, "Yes", and then "I feel thankful that I am here to welcome you." These famous words may have been a fabrication, as Stanley later tore out the pages of this encounter in his diary. Even Livingstone's account of
David Livingstone on Stanley and Livingstone, but with a few crucial letters omitted from the surname; it is unknown whether this results from a typist's error or a deliberate obfuscation. The ABBA song "What about Livingstone?" mentions Livingstone traveling up the Nile. Stanley's search for and discovery of Livingstone is the subject of the Hugh Masekela song "Whitch Doctor" that appears on his 1976 album, "Colonial Man". There is an achievement in Sid Meier's Civilization 5 called "Dr Livingstone I presume?" in which the player needs to move his/her Stanley Explorer into a tile of England's Livingstone Explorer.
