Does he mean Leopold hired Stanley again? cnn.com/2019/02/07/pol…
Stanley signed a 5-year contract at a salary of £1,000 a year and set off to Zanzibar under an assumed name..."all of his white companions (signed) contracts promising they would not write or publicly speak about their travels until well after he had published his journals"
