were not slow'to continue fighting if

Aooordingly I selected four experi

all cattle and burn every village as
soon as taken. Obedient to the com
mand they sailed out of the camp and
began the second day's fieht.
They were soonvigorously engaged
withithe enemy, who fled fast and fu
rious before them to an open plain on
the banks of the Leewumbu. The
detachment under I Farjalia Christie
became too excited, and because the
ran, imagined they had but to
show themselves to cause the natives
tofly but once oh the plain—having
drawn them away, isolated miles
from any succor—they turned upon
them and slaughtered the detachment
to a man, except the messenger, who
had been detailed to. accompany the
detachment to report success or fail
ure. I had taken the precaution to
send one swift-footed man to accom
pany each detachment for this pur-his
pose. This messenger came from
Farjalla to procure assistance, which
was at once dispatched, though too
late to aid the unfortunate men, but
nottoo late to save the second detach
like fate,' as the victor
ious enemy, after slaughtering the
first detachment, had turned upon
to cut the entire force apposed to
them in detail. When the support
arrived they found the second detach
others were hemmed in on all sides.
A volley was poured into the rear of
the astonished enemy, and the detach
ment was saved. With their com
bined forces our people poured a sec
ond volley, and continued their march
almost unopposedtothe northern and
eastern extremity of the valley.
Meanwhile, smoke was seen issuing
from the south and southeast, inform
ing us that the third and fourth de
tachments were pursuing their way
victoriously, and soon a score or more
villages were.enwrapped in dense vol
umes of smoke. Even at a distance
of 8 miles we beheld burning villages,
and shortly after fired settlements to
the north, and east announced our vic
tory on all sides.
Toward evening, the soldiers re
turned, bringing cattle and an abun
dance of grain to the camp but
when the muster-roll was called I
found I had lost twenty-one men, who
had been killed,/while thirty-five
deaths of the enemy were reported.
E I DAY'S BATTLE
The third day we began the. battle
with sixty good men, who received
instructions to proceed to the extreme
length Ofthe valley and burn what
had been left the previous day. These
cametoa strong and large village to
the northeast, which, after a slight re
sistance, they entered,., loaded them
selves with grain,7 and" set on fire.
Jjong beforenoon it was clearly seen
that the savages had had quite enough
of war and were demoralized, and
our people returned through the now
silenced, and blackened valley with
out molestation.
Just before daybreak on the fourth
day we left our camp and continued
pur journey northwest, with provis
ions sufficient to last us six days,
leaving the people of Ituru to ponder
on the harsh fate they had drawn on
themselves by their greed, treachery,
arid wanton murder, and attack on
peaceful strangers,
We were still a formidable force,
strong in numbers, guns, and property,
though, for an expedition destined
to explore so many thousands ofmiles
of new countries, we had suffered se
trerely. I had left the coastwith over
800,men but when I numbered the
expedition at MgongoTembo,in Iram
•ba, which we reached three days after
departing froth the scene of our war,
I found that I had but 194 men left.
Thus, in less than three months, I
had, lost by dysentery, famine, hearts
disease, desertion, and war, oyer 125
natives of Africa and one European.
MIRAMBO. '.
On entering Iramba we tound that
the natives called out against -all
strangers, "Mirambo and his robbers
are coming!" But a vast amount of
patience and suave language saved us
front the doom that threatens this
now funous Chieftain. Despite, how
ever,all medicines and magic arts
iKMHBuca a
that have been prao^eed as yet, Mir
ambo lives. He seems to make war
upon all mankind in this portion of
the African interior, and appears to
be possessed of ubiquitous powers.
We heard of him advancing upon
the natives in Northern Ugogo, Uk
imbo was terror-stricken at his name,
the people at Unyanyembe were still
fighting him, and here in Iramba he
has been met and fought, and is daily
expected.
As we journeyed on through Iram
ba and entered Usukuma his fame in
creased, for we were now drawing
near some of the scenes of his exploits.
When he approached the Victoria
Niyanza he was actually fighting,
but a day's march from us, with the
people of Tsanda and Masari, and a
score of times we came near being
plunged into wars because the natives
mistook our expedition for Mirambo's
force but our color always saved us
before we became actually engaged in
conflict.
VARYIN FORTUNES.
Various were our fortunes in our
travels between Mgongo Tembo, in
Iramba, and the Niyanza. We trav
eled the whole length of Usukuma,
through the districts of Mombiti,
Usiha, Mondo, Sengerema, and Mar
ya,' and, passing through Usmaow, re
entered Usukuma by Uchambi, and
arrived at the lake after a march of
720 miles.
S A E N E E
After penetrating the forest and
jungle west,of Lumanberri we enter
Usukuma,—a country thickly peo
pled and rich in cattle. It is a se
ries of rolling plains, with here and
there, far apart, a chain of iagged
hills*. The descent to the lake is so
gradual that I expect to find upon
sounding it, ^s I intend to do,
that, though it covers a vast area, it
is very shallow.
Now, after our longjourney, theex
pedition is halted a hundred yards
from the lake, and as I look upon its
dancing waters I long to launch the
Lady Alice and venture out to ex
plore its mysteries. Though on its
shore, I am as ignorant of its config
uration and extent as any man in
England or America. I have ques
tioned the natives of Uchambi closely
upon the subject at issue, but no one
can tell me positively whether the
lake is one or more. I hear a multi
tude of strange names, but whether
they are of countries or lakes it i3
impossible to divine, their knowledge
of it being very superficial. My im
pression, however, is that Speke, in
bold sketch and "Imagined outline,
is nearer the truth than Livingstone,
who reported of it upon hearsay at a
great distance from its shores but as
soon as I can finish my letters to you
and my friends, the sections of the
Lady Alice will be screwed together,
and the first English boat that ever
sailed on African lakesshall venture on
her mission. of thoroughly explor
ing every nook and cranny of the
shores of the Victoria.
STRANG E TALES.
I heard of strange tales about the
countries on the shores of this lake,
make me still more eager to
start. One man reports a country
peopled with dwarfs, another with
giants, and another is said to possess
a breed of such large dogs that even
ray mastiffs are said to have been
small compared with them. All
these may be idle romance, and I lay
no stress on anything reported to me,
as I hope to be enabled to see with
my own eyes alL the wonders of
these unknown countries.
Thewhich
S E I N E EXPEDITION
I mustered the men of the expedi
tion yesterday, and ascertained it to
consist of three white men and 166
Wanguana soldiers and carriers,
twenty-eight having died since leav
ing Ituru thirty days agcv Over one
half of our force has thus been lost
by desertion and deaths. This is ter
rible, but I hope their long rest here
will revive the weak and strengthen
the strong. The dreadful scourge of
the expedition has been dysentery and
I can boast of but few men cured of
it by medicine, though it- was freely
given, as we were possessed of abund
ance1 of medTcar "stores. A great
drawbacktotheir cure has been the
necessity of moving on whereas a few
days' rest, in a country blessed with
good water and food, would have re
stored many of them to health but
water and good food could not be pro
cured anywhere together except here.
The Arabs would have taken nine
months or a year to march this long
distance, while we have performed it
in only 103 days, including halts.
As I vaccinated every member of the
expedition on the coast, I am happy
to say that not one fell a victim to
small-pox.

TJNJCST SUSPICIONS
The other day a Detroit husband
went on a fishing excursion with a
small party.of friends. Returning
at midnight he pounded on the door
and awoke his wife. As she let him
into the hall, she saw that something
ailed him, and cried out:
"Why, Harry, your face is as red
as paint."
"Guesser n't" he replied, feeling
