At the start of World War I, German Warships controlled Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa. The British has no navel craft at all upon 'Tanganjikasee's, as the Germans called it. This mattered: it was the longest lake in the world and of great strategic advantage. In June 1915, a force of twenty-eight men was despatched from Britain on a vast journey. Their orders were to take control of the lake. To reach it, they had to haul two motorboats with the unlikely namees of Mimi and Toutou through the wilds of the Congo.
