For the most part they remained healthy for the first month until reaching Iddah after which many of here crew were struck down with fever until matters were so grave that even the determined Capt. Trotter was forced to order  Capt Allen retreat to the coast while he pushed on in the hopes of reaching a healthier climate upstream.  But fever  continued too ravage the crew and by the 8th August any further progress was clearly impossible. The expedition was considered a disastrous  failure though Commander Allen cites the three  treaties signed with the most influential potentates on the river to have constituted partial success.
