Philip F. Tinne, a Dutch See also:merchant who settled in See also:England during the See also:Napoleonic See also:wars, but afterwards returned to his native See also:land, and of his wife, Baroness See also:Van Steengracht-Capellan. Her See also:father died when she was five years old, leaving her the richest heiress in the Nether-lands. After travelling in See also:Norway, See also:Italy and the See also:East, and visiting See also:Egypt, when she ascended the See also:Nile to near See also:Gondokoro, See also:Miss Tinne See also:left See also:Europe again in 1861 for the Nile regions. Accompanied by her See also:mother and her aunt, she set out from See also:Cairo on the 9th of See also:January 1862.

White Nile to a point above Gondokoro, and explored a See also:part of the See also:Sobat, returning to Khartum in See also:November. See also:Baron Theodor von See also:Heuglin (q.v.) and Dr H. Steudner having meantime joined the ladies at Khartum, the whole party set out in See also:February 1863 for the See also:Bahr-el-Ghazal. The intention was to explore that region and ascertain how far westward the Nile See also:basin extended; also to investigate the reports of a vast See also:lake in Central Africa eastwards of those already known—reports referring in all See also:probability to the lake-like expanses of the See also:middle See also:Congo.
Ascending the Bahr-el-Ghazal the limit of See also:navigation was reached on the loth of See also:March. From Meshra-er-Rek a See also:journey was made overland, across the Bahr See also:Jur and See also:south-See also:west by the Bahr Kosango, to See also:Jebel Kosango, on the See also:borders of the Niam-Niam See also:country. During the journey all the travellers suffered severely from See also:fever. Steudner died in See also:April and Madame Tinne in See also:June, and after many fatigues and dangers the See also:remainder of the party reached Khartum in See also:July 1864, where Miss Tinne's aunt died. Miss Tinne returned to Cairo by See also:Berber and See also:Suakin. The See also:geographical and scientific results of the expedition were highly important, as will be seen in Heuglin's See also:Die Tinnesche Expedition See also:im westlichen Nilgebiet (1863–1864 (See also:Gotha, 1865), and Reise in das Gebiet See also:des Weissen Nils See also:Leipzig, 1869). A description, by T. Kotschy and J. Peyritsch, of some of the See also:plants discovered by the expedition was published at See also:Vienna in 1867 under the See also:title of Mantes Tinneennes. At Cairo Miss Tinne lived in See also:Oriental See also:style during the next four years, visiting See also:Algeria, See also:Tunisia and other parts of the Mediterranean. In January 1869 she started from See also:Tripoli with a See also:caravan, intending to proceed to Lake See also:Chad, and thence by See also:Wadai, See also:Darfur and See also:Kordofan to the upper Nile. On the 1st of See also:August, however, on the route from Murzuk to See also:Ghat, she was murdered, together with two Dutch sailors, by See also:Tuareg in See also:league with her escort, who believed that her See also:iron See also:water tanks were filled with See also:gold.
