Abstract
Livingstone made use of his time on board ship to acquire new skills. As well as starting to study the Sechuanan language, he was befriended by the captain. Livingstone found him ‘very obliging to me and gave me all the information respecting the use of the quadrant in his power, frequently sitting up till twelve o’clock at night for the purpose of taking lunar observations with me.’1
