Hobley - From time to time the missionaries produced unpleasant crises by injudiciously harbouring runaway slaves, and these incidents caused the authorities considerable embarrassment. Bishop Tucker was a very militant Churchman, and with a more fanatically minded people would doubtless have earned early martyrdom. Domestic slavery on the coast could only be abolished gradually, and with the expenditure of many thousands. He, however, recked not of this practical aspect, but appeared to lose no opportunity of exacerbating public feelings, possibly in the hope of forcing the home government to take drastic measures.    

Permanent Way - 'On Dec. 27th a party of missionaries of the Church Missionary Society arrived [in Uganda] under Bishop Tucker. Eight had started from the coast and travelled by the German route. Three had died on the journey and the remainder were too ill to walk when they reached Mengo.       

Watt - 1896? - 'A short time afterwards we had the joy of welcoming to our district Bishop Tucker, with his caravan of 500 men. He was escorting the first party of lady Missionaries to the Uganda Mission. ..... with his worthy lieutenant Dr. Baxter.
