"When f had pitched our main camp nt I.:ike Victoria Xyatiza we learned what hunger meant. 1 had between three hun dred ninl four hundred men in my care, nml with ten of them I started out iu bunt to circumnavigate the lake in search of food and provisions as the main object of the remarkable trip. Of course, the exploration of the shores of the lake, was another object. I discovered an is land, Komla-ira, as I Hiihseqiiently learned, wnere I saw onnaim trees. I (unit to my self that here I was remote from the main land jierhnps the first white man that ever approached the island and I con eluded that the natives, if the island were inhabited, must be an unsophisticated and, consequently, not a dangerous peo ple. t e had suffered from hunger so ex cessively that the stomachs of the natives in my boat were fuirlv nucked uu with emptiness. An liihoMtlf able Reception. Ve edued on to a little baylet chse up the slmre, and t lien I noticed that the people on the island were leaping and bounding down to the water's edge t-o meet us. lltit they were evidently not bound for a friendly meeting, for I saw them put rock in slings and the blades of their ninny ears glistened iu the bright sunlighr. I fold my boys to stop rowing, but they insisted that the natives on the i-hiiid lielougrd to the Xyada (peo ple, from whose kiug I had come only a few days ago and that we consequent ly were safe. Despite my strict order my men kept on plying theiroars until wewere tilsmt lifty feet from the island and could see every movement of the natives plainly, lor n moment their warlike preparations censed, and. with the friendly salutation. 'We are brothers!' a number of them jumped into the shallow water up to their wai-ts until about fifty of them had crowded around the Imat. The lloat Dragged II lull nnd Iry. "Fully :m more were ou the shore. Those at the boat threw our hawser ashore, and those on the luutl began to drag the boat over the surf and the rocks nnd peb bles of the la-ah until it was about sixty b-et high and dry on the land. Our boat, wnsn tender affair, made from brittle ceilar for the purpose of making it so light that it could ho carried on the heads of my native followers hundreds of miles overland. We were still iu the lsat. and I was fearful that the dragging might break the 1-ottom. Then what were we to do. with our camp 60U miles distant At. the line time I became alarmed at the nr. tit ml, of the native warriors who raved all around us, bramlishing their halt I., uvea ami swingiug their clulis. Our boatswain was the tirst to tie struck on the head with a club, fortunately not sufliciently hard fo disable him. Ills MiOesty Interferes. Twice I rose up, revolver in hand but a fight was sr absolutely hopeless that I dei-ted. What could I do with ten men a;aist : or One of the natives seized me by the hair and pulled mv head back ns if to cut my throat. I could nnf. even r. ly upon my own men in this emer gency, for their hunger was stronger than their reason. Why the natives did not finish us nil then and then. I do not know. One of mv mur. little fellow named Kins? Kemn e l the suspense. He shouted to the na tives that all we wanted was food; that If we were massacred Kawango, of Ugan da, who was our friend, would avenge us.
