ARMY RECRUITING.

The annual report of the Inspector-General of Re-
cruiting was issued on Monday morning. It shows
that the total number who joined the regular army
during 1887 was 31,225; but although this number
fell short of the number raised in 1886 by 8,184, yet
as many men were raised as were required, the
numbers voted by Parliament having been fully
maintained during the last six months of the year.
Of the numbers who enlisted 1,543 were for long
service and 29,682 for short service. It appears that
the infantry is getting year by year more thoroughly
recruited from the districts with which the regi-
ments are nominally connected. The monthly
reports received from medical officers with regard
to the physical condition of the recruits who joined
head-quarters of corps have been generally satisfactory.
The offer of a pardon to deserters and fraudulently
enlisted men on the occasion of the Queen's Jubilee
afforded an opportunity of learning to what extent
the latter class of men exist in the army. The result
shows that 2235 men serving in the 'army claimed the
pardon as having fraudulently enlisted, of whom 1657
had deserted their former regiments, and 578 were
absentees from the army reserve. This is just over 1
per cent. of the whole army. Calculating by the
average of former years, the waste during 1887 should
have been 33,418 men—namely, one-sixth of the
strength of the army on the Ist January, 1887. The
actual waste was 28,672, or one-seventh of the
strength. That number includes 10,672 transfers to
the army reserve; the actual loss by deaths, dis-
charges and desertrrs, being 18,000 men. This
number shows a large reduction on former years.
The number of desertions was slightly less than in
1886, having been 5355, as compared with 5402; and
the percentage is further improved, as the strength of
the army was greater last year. On the Ist of
January:lBB7, the strength of the First Class Army Re-
serve was 46,858, and on the first of January, 1588,
it was 50,950, being a net increase of 4092 men. The
actual number transferred from the colours was
10,701, which was somewhat less than the number
for the previous year. The militia reserve stands at
30,497, giving a total First Class Reserve available on
the first of January last 81,447. The number of re-
cruits for the militia in 1887 was 33,597, being 5733
fewer than were raised in 1886, and the loss by deser-
tion is still very heavy. An appendix to the report
. shows an increase in the military forces of the Crown
amounting in all during the past 10 years to 96,958
men, of whom 60,350 represent the addition to the
regular army and First Class Army Reserve.. The
addition of the militia reserve gives a further avail-
able force to fill the ranks of the regular army in case
of need, raising that part of the forces to 284,507 non-
commissioned officers and men, of whom 203,060 are
serving with the colours and 81,447 in the reserve

THE STOURI3I I DE OBSERVER.

AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

The Belfast, Ireland, Labour Advocate, publishes
a remarkable letter from Mr. John M. Campbell,
proprietor of the Adair Aims Hotel, Ballymena.
Mr. Ca:opbell writes, that for years he was a great
sufferer •iron rheumatic gout. Wlien he had de-
spaired of finding relief, he used a ncent medical
discovery. On the first application his limbs seemed
to expezienc,, an electrie shock, and the rapidity
with which a cure was effected could be considered
nothing but marvellous The remedy is St. Jacobs
Oil, and he has, he says, also used it for cramps
and croup in his children and found it most efficacious.
The Adrocate adds, that many citizens of Belfast
have Lund St. Jacobs Oil an absolute cure for
rheumatism.

Mrs. J. M. Young of 1, Sally Street, Grove Street,
vcrpo 1, was so afflicted with lumbago that she
had about give, up ever being cured, when one of
your interesting books entitled " Health and
Honour for the Million" was places in her hands.
She ead the eia of prominent people who had been
cured of lumbago, which gave her courage. She pro-
ured a bottle from her chemist, wbea to her great sur-
prise she was relieved by the first application, and
was amazed, before the contents of that bottle was
gone, to find herself completely cured and well as
.y r.

Mr. Edward Peterson, electric light enginerr, of
36, Whetstone Park, London, W. C , says :1. There
can be no two opinions respecting the value of St.
Jacobs Oil as a rheumatic remedy. I was so com-
pl-tely used up with rheumatism in my arms and
shoulders that r was unable to attend to my business.
I was advised by a friend to use S Jacobs Oil; a
few gool rubbing 4 with that famous oil drove•al
pain away from me. I never saw anything like it
t 6 m9nth Miss Marian Clifford, cll the Golden
Cress, Porter Street, Hull, lay in bed with in-
flammatory rheumatism. Her feet and ankles were
badly swollen, end her sufferings were intense, no
treatment affording any relief, until St. Jacobs Oil
was applied, when a complete OUI e wag at Once
effec fed.

Mrs. G. Augold, 7, Maude Road, London, was
afdi ted with cEronio rheumatism for four years
She found no relief from medicines and was induced
to use S. Jacobs Oil. One application reduced the
svreiling ot the ankles and knees, find two more ap-
plica ions removed all pail.
Mr. Henry John Barlow, of 4, Staples Inn
Buildings, Holborn Bars, London, W.C.. Save:
"Recently. during riiny weather, I contracted a
very deVel, Cld by wetting my feet and legi, which
resulted in rheumatism in my feet and legs, which
became so oad that I was hardly able to walk.
Learning from a friend of the value of St. Jacobs
Oil, I had a bottle pr. cured, the contents of which,
applie.l with several rubbings, removed all
rh,:umatic pain and comiletely cured me."

in the carrying out of tha improvements in the
tramp wards —The Chairman said he was not soiry
the delay bad occured. They had acted wisely in
deferrin.r the matter until the boundary qutstion
wad set‘l d. There was a likelihood of the Union
beiug split ap, and in the face of that they would
be acting wrongly if they spent money in Fe-
modelling the tramp wards.—Some conversation

workhouse Union It was generally held that in
the interests of all the Union should be preserved
intact, and it was feared that if Redditoh became
the centre of a Union to be formed a workhouse
would have to be built sooner or later. It was
elated that all Redd,tch would gain by the carrying
out of the scheme would be increased rates and
taxes.--A sum of £B4 3s. was voted to lfr. H.

"KING OF ENGLAND."

At the Bow-street Police-court on Tuesday, Howard
A. F. Bowen, aged 24, of no fixed abode, described as
a gentleman, was charged with being found wander-
ing, apparently insane, in the Mall, St. James's-park,
London. A policeman said that at three o'clock on
Tuesday morning he saw the defendant enter the side
court leading to the equerry's entrance at Bucking-
ham Palace. The witness followed, and heard him
ask the porter whether there was any one there to
see him. The witness asked his name. He replied,
"Possibly King of England." He waq asked his
business and declined to say; he was accordingly
taken to King-street Police-station, where he was
examined by Dr. Bond. He said he was a statesman,
and wished to see the Queen; he had no money or
home. Dr. Bond certified that the defendant ap-
peared to be wandering in his mind. Mr. Vaughan
(to the defendant) : What have you to say? The
defendant: I suppose in effect it is rather true. Mr.
Vaughan: What is true? The defendant: What you
have read out (the certificate). Mr. Vaughan: Are
you the King of England? The defendant: I don't
know. Mr. Vaughan: Are you a statesman? The
defendant: I suppose so, if I say so. Mr. Vaughan
sent him to the workhouse.

ENDEI' 5.13 above heading, the
D0n,.,,,;t0r Reporter of July

6th, 1387, publishes the following

in its editorial columns :

Our rea Tors nny 'Tull the cir-
cum.itauces of a yoting clerk, named
Arthar Rich old, failing insensible
in Wheatley Lane in this town some
time ago, and being picked up, as he
continued perfectly helpless, and

taken in a cab by two gentlemen
to the office of F. W. Fisher, Esq.,
the solicitor who employed him.
On restoring him to consciousness

- it was ascertained that he was
afflicted with what seemed to be an
incurable disease. When he was

able:to speak he said lie had been
to his dinner and was on his way
back to his work when suddenly his

!head was in a whirl, and he fell in
;the street like a man who is knocked

the solicitor's office he thought

what this might mean, and feared
be was going to have a fit of illness,
*which we all know is a very dread-
ful thing for a poor man with a
family to care for.
_ _

"With this in his mind, he at once
sought the best medical advice, tell-
ing the doctors how he had been
attacke(4 They questioned• him,
and found that his present malady
was exhaustion of the nervous
system, resulting from general de-
bility, indigostion, and dyspepsia
of a chronic nature. This in turn
had been caused by confinement
to his desk, and grief at the loss
of dear friends by death. The
coming on of his strange disease,
as described by Mr. Richold, must
be of interest both to sick and
well. He had noticed for several
years previously, in fact, that his
eyes and face began to have a yellow
look, there was a sticky and un-
pleasant slime on the gums and teeth
in the morning, the tongue coated,
and the bowels so bound and cos-
tive that it induced that most
painful ailment—hemorrhoids. He
says there was some pain in the
sides and back, and a sense of
fulness on the night side as though
the liver were enlarging, which
proved to be the terrible fact.
"These things had troubled Mr.
Richold a long time, and after his
fall in the street he clearly perceived
that his fit of giddiness was nothing
more than the sign of the steady
and deadly advance of the com-
plaint which began in indigestion
and dyspepsia **Allis story of how he
went from. mile physician to another

SUICIDE OF A RECTOR.

A serious charge of assault having been preferred
by a servant girl against the Rev. John Mordaunt
Lowther, rector of Bolton, Cumberland, and cousin of
Lord Lonsdale, the case was to have been heard on
Tuesday at Wigton Petty Sessions; btu when it was
called on Mr. Wannop, the prosecuting solicitor, asked
leave to withdraw the charge, as the defendant had
committed suicide. When the carriage which was
to have taken the defendant to the court drew up to
his door, Mr. Lowther was asked by his housekeeper
to get inside. Instead of doing so he stepped to the
back of the carriage, and, drawing a revolver from his
pocket, shot himself in the mouth. Death ensued in
about eight minutes. The deceased was 64 years of
age and unmarried. The living, which is in the gift
of Lord Lonsdale, is worth nearly £5OO.

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.

_
At Mark-lane a moderate business was done. The
sales of home-grown wheat in the leading markets of
England and Wales during the first 19 weeks of the
season were 1,198,955 qrs., against 949,492 qrs. last
year, at an average of 30s Od, against 31s 10d per qr. ;
barley, 1,656,653 qrs., against 1,572,336 qrs., average
28s 10d, against 27s 2d; and oats, 132,448 qrs., against
181,153 qrs., average 15s Od, against 17s 4d per qr.
English wheat met a slow sale. Endeavours were made
to realise full prices,- but the tone was not strong.
Foreign wheat was inactive at about late rates. The
flour market was dull at previous prices. There was a
steady trade for barley. Malting produce was quite
as dear. Grinding realised 3d per qr. advance. About
an average business was done in oats at full currencies..
Maize was steady and quite as dear. Beans were Gd

A BROKEN HEART.

The important function in the animal economy
filled by the heart has always been recognised, and as
its action is visible and palpable--sometimes unduly
80—people of whose education physiology formed no
part have handed down to us a variety of expressions
embodying the idea that reason, memory, the
emotions, Ste., were all located within this very useful
organ. One of these expressions is that of a "broken
heart "—the result of grief or shock. How such an
expression, could have come into general use is rather
a puzzle. A broken (ruptured) heart would of neces-
sity entail a very speedy demise, and joyful tidings
would be much more likely to effect such an
occurrence by accelerating the circulation and in-
creasing the blood pressure. It must be taken, we
suppose, to mean a "broken spirit "—the collapse of
the body consequent on extreme depression of the
mind. Now and again, however, we meet with a
veritable case of "broken heart," though not asso-
ciated with any particular mental condition. Such an
one presented itself a short time since at a workhouse
in Liverpool. At the post-mortem examination of a
woman, aged 60, the heart was found to be the seat
of a veritable rupture, extending from the apex
upwards, due simply and purely to natural causes in
the sense that no violence had contributed to the
catastrophe. This occurrence is sufficiently rare to
render the "specimen" one worth preserving.—

M the police-court, at Newbury, the urban sanitary
authorities prosecuted an Irishwoman, named Alice
Lane, who keeps a common lodging-house, for allowing
persons of both sexes above eight years to occupy the
same sleeping apartment, the said persons not being
married couples. The state of things prevailing at this
lodging-house was recently brought to light during the
hearing of a case in which a negro preferred a charge of
theft itgain;s.t a girl. The magistrates fined defendant
155., incluttmg copts.

ANIMAL TORTURE.

The anti-vivisectionists have just held their yearly
conference. The Hon. Bernard Coleridge referred to
the report of the inspector under the Cruelty to
Animals Act as that of an inspector who did not
inspect. He merely adopted the returns of those
most interested in evading the Acts. There were
two instances in which professional men had th.m-
selves reported the results of experiments on live
animals, neither of which was included in the in-
spector's return. Vivisection seemed to be increas-
ing. Last year 458 cases were reported, and this
year 582. This was also the first year in wlich
licenses had been taken out for experiments on
horses, asses, and mules. Miss Frances Power Cobbe
moved a resolution declaring vivisection to be on'y
one outcome among many of the deadly moral prin-
ciples wh'cla underlie the prevailing scientific phii).
sophy, and acknowledging the recent courageous et-
posure of another resu t of the same principle--
namely, the cruel maltreatment of hospital patients
in the supposed interests ot science. She referred to
the abysmal depths into which the selfishness and
curiosity of Godless science had sunk France. "It
behoves us all to do our utmost," said Miss Cobbe,
"to guard England against a similar fate."

A BORE is a present nuisance, but he may augur
well. _

IT is hard for professional pride to remain silent
when a good old tradition of the craft is outraged.
The other night, when a new drama was produced at
a London theatre, the gallery was crowded, and the
"gods "were pleased to approve of the piece generally
until the burglary scene. But when the burglar was
seen " doing " the place with all the blinds up, so that
he could be seen "at work" from the street, an expert
present could bear it no longer, but yelled out,
"Why don't yo r pull your loliw,t§ down?"

INVALID MONARCHS.

The British Medical Journal says: The sad case of
the late Emperor Frederick 111. is without parallel in
modern history. The partial invalidism of several
European monarchs has influenced politics in a
marked manner. William 111. of England suffered
from bronchitis and emphysema, and the condition of
his health was a factor in the calculations of poli-
ticians for years before his death, which, after all,
was caused by accident. Louis XIII. was phthisical,
and his ill-health to a great extent brought about
the absolute rule of Richelieu; but the King, though
lie succumbed to tubercular ulceration of the large
intestines, lived over his forty-second birthdiy,
Putting aside aged ropes ; Sultans, always under
tutelage whether healthy or sickly; nominal monarchs
like Louis XVII. and Napoleon 11., and two Czars,
said, on not sufficient grounds, to have been
insane when murdered, there remains the great
historical case of King Charles 11. of Spain. He
appears to have been of weak intellect, and there
is some record of congenital malformations, including
deficient development of the lower jaw. This natural
mental weakness, however, was certainly aggravatoi
by bad education and by the custom of his lather's
Court, which kept him from the wholesome society
of youths of his own age; yet his mental weakness
was not so great as to prevent him from feeling much
irritation at the conduct of England, Fra'nee, and
Germany towards his country. He succeeded to the
throne in 1665 and did not die till 1700; in 1668,
when the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle was signed, his
death was hourly expected, but his sickly existence
was protracted for 32 years. After his death in 1700
the war of the Spanish Succession soon followed.
His case had it been properly reported, would be of
high clinical interest. With the sole exception of
the invalidism in both instances, the rotas of Frederick
111. of Germany and charles IL of Spain stood in
strong contrast. ,

THE STOURBRIDGE OBSERVER

A RIVAL OF STANLEY.

A distinguished African explorer, Lieutenant Wks.
mann, appeared at the last meeting of the Royal
Geographical Society. Wissmann is a man who—if
less familiar to us—deserves rank with Stanley.
Perhaps his first great work was to explore the Kassai,
which had been seen at several points, and which it
was conjectured must be a river of some magnitude,
though what was its relation to the Congo and
what to other streams in the same region
it remained to discover. Crossing the Kassai,
Lieutenant Wissmann went on to its tribu-
tary, the Lulua. Here he found himself in
the midst of one of the most widespread and inter-
esting people of Central Africa, the Baluba, a race,
when pure, of a high type. In May, 1885, Lieutenant
Wissmann, with some 200 of these Baluba, set out to
trace the Kassai to its outlet. This he found Was in
the Congo itself, to which it forms a mighty water-
way from the south, and of which the Sankuru and
many other great streams right and left are only
affluents. The importance of this discovery is second
to none that has been made in this region since Mr.
Stanley sailed down the Congo.
One other of his historic efforts was the great for-
ward march into the unknown country to the north
of the Sankuru commenced from Luluabourg with a
caravan of 1000 men. After having crossed the San-
kuru below its junction with the Lubi the party
entered the region of mighty virgin forests sparsely
peopled by the savage Batetela and Batua. Forcing
its way through the territory of the marauding Ben
Mona, the caravan in the end of 1886 and beginning
of 1887 traversed a region where on his first
journey Wissmann had found gigantic villages; now
it was completely depopulated by war and small-
pox. On arriving at Nyangwe a second time he
found the Arabs triumphant, and he himself was
treated as a prisoner. He had intended to proceed
northwards as far as the Albert Nyanza, and even if
possible reach Emin Pasha. But the bearing of the
Arabs was 80 decidedly hostile, and his caravan was
so disorganised by hunger, sickness, and death, that
Lieutenant Wissmann decided to send his colleague,
Lieut nant Le Marinel back to Luluabourg, while he
himself set out on his route to the east coast, vid
Tanganyika, Lake Nyassa, and down the Zambesi.
This journey he accomplished. Previous to this he
had crossed the continent from east to west, through
what was, in the main, an unknown country.

A PATRIARCHAL FAMILY.

A wonderful family, the late members of which
would seem (says a Paris correspondent) to have
discovered the elixir vile, or some means at least, of
considerably rivalling Methusaleh, has just been
brought to the notice of the public by a statistician,
who makes centenarians and longevity his special
branch of social science. It appears that the seat of
this remarkable family was at Tarbes, in the Depart-
ment of the Hautes-Pyren6es, where its last survivor,
Joseph Ritas, has departed this life at the comfortable
age of 118 years. Ritas was born in Spain on August
21, 1770. His father lived to the age of 111 years,
and his brother died a few years ago at the age of 114.
The mother and paternal uncle of Ritas were equally
long-lived, having far outstepped the allotted span of
ordinary mortals. Neither his wife, however, nor
any of his children survive him. He did not marry,
in fact, until he attained the age of 50.

GERMANS IN THE HOLY LAND.

When the hopes of the pious are fulfilled, and the
Children of Israel return to Jerusalem, some little
difficulty is likely to arise through the colonisation
of that land of reverent romance by the Germans.
They are cutting out everybody else there. They
have invaded the Holy Land as the Goths of old did
the lands of Southern Europe. There they settle and
there they stay. They are teaching the people better
manufacturing habits, and a love of German wares.
The trade of Jerusalem is now done largely, and is
likely to be done almost exclusively, with Germany.
In any case, says a London correspondent, the
Germanisation of Palestine is one of the most in-
teresting movements of this generation, and our
Consul at Jerusalem thinks it worth while to call
Lord Salisbury's special attefition to the fact.

THE SARDINE FISHERY.

Some years since there was as great a scarcity of
sardines in France as there was of crayfish, which,
much to the disgust of devoted patriots, had to t e
obtained in Prussia for the gastronomical require-
ments of the sons and daughters of night who patro-
nise nocturnal restaurants. The sardines, it appears,
had left the coast of Brittany in shoals, and had
migrated towards Portugal; the Nantes fishermen
having had to follow them to Cape St. Vincent. Thif-
of course, gave the pecheurs great trouble, and caus
them to incur heavy expense in fitting out larger
boats than those in which they usually plied their
adventurous calling. The Government, however,
promised to assist them, and a Fishery Commission
was appointed, when suddenly the errant sardines
turned their tails to Lusitanian cliffs, and steered
back to their old ground. At the present time sardines
are used for manure at Les Sables d'Olonne and other
places on that part of the coast, and the boatmen are
unable to carry away half the fish that comes into
their nets.

SATURDAY, RINE 30, 1888,

AT COLNEY HATCH.

Dr. Danford Thomas, Coroner for Central Middles
sex, held an inquest on Eriday of last week at the
Lunatic Asylum, Colney Hatch, concerning the death
of John Stickley, aged 68, a house decorator' an in-
mate of the asylum, whose death resulted from a
mysterious injury. Albert Stickley, residing at 42,
Denmark-road, Kilburn, son of the deceased, stated
that his father was taken before the magistrate at the
Marylebone Police-court on the preceding Saturday,
and Dr. Gibson, certifying him as insane, he was
ordered to be removed to the asylum. He was taken
there in a cab by the relievinc, officer. The witness
on the Monday night received information that his
father was dangerously ill, and on his going to the
asylum the next day he learnt that he was dead. The
witness was also informed that the deceased's jaw
was broken, and when asked how it occurred he was
told that he was brought there with his jaw broken.
John Clarke, relieving officer for Hendon, who took
Stickley to the asylum in a cab, said he assisted him
into the waiting-room, and at that tine the deceased
had no sign of injury or bleeding from the mouth.
Dr. William Seaward, medical superintendent of the
male department, stated that he had made inquiries
into the matter, and had been unable to find out from
the attendants that the deceased received any injuries
after reception at the asylum. Mr. James
Swanson, one of the assistant medical officers,
stated that at half-past two on Saturday he
was called to see Stickley, and on examin-
ing him he found blood coming from his
mouth, and afterwards noticed that he had a
severe compound fracture of the jaw on the left side.
Samuel John Way, an attendant, said he observed no
marks of injury about the deceased when admitted,
but subsequently his attention was called to the
deceased, who had blood on his fingers, a tooth
having been found in his hand. The witness was un-
able to ascertain whether the deceased had had a fall.
The coroner said it was most unsatisfactory that
they were unable to find out how the deceased came
by his injuries. The jury, after half an hour's de-
liberation, found that death was due to exhaustion,
following melancholia and pneumonia, and that it was
accelerated by the shock of the fracture. They added
that they considered it most unsatisfaotory that no
evidence Was forthcoming to show how the injuries
were caused.

PEACE IN OPOBO.

The mail from the West Coast of Africa brings
news of a more satisfactory state of affairs in Opobo.
This is attributed by Mr. H. H. Johnston, British
Consul for the Oil Rivers—who sails for England in
the steamer Lagos—to the deportation of King Ja Ja.
The British traders are everywhere extending their
operations, and one house has penetrated so far as to
arouse the resentment of the natives, and receive a
species of boycotting. The two powerful chiefs,
Cooky Ganam and Sho-Peterside, have returned to
the Opobo river, and, by way of demonstrating their
power, have refused to give up an offender for punish-
ment. The Consul, however, promptly secured the
attendance of an armed force, which was landed
when the chiefs gave way. The return of King Jo Ja,
in the opinion of Consul Johnston, would imperil the
peace of the district. The King gives continued and
fresh evidence of his amiability and satisfaction at
the British control which has been established. /

FOULING THE RIVER.

Mr. C. E. Fryer, Inspector of Fisheries, who has
been inquiring into the deposit of rubbish in the
estuary of the Thames, gives a catalogue of what he
has either seen thrown overboard or has seen dredged
up. Here are some of the items: Cinders, clinkers,
ashes, coal, paper, rags, rope, string, straw, glass,
crockery, boots and shoes, hats, caps, and bonnets,
hoop and scrap iron, wire netting, cocoanut matting,
floor cloth, felt, corks, wood, coalscuttles, kettles,
pots, pans, pails, buckets, gridirons, fireguards, bones,
cabbage stalks, oil cans, sardine and other tins,
knives, drain pipes, baskets, brushes, brickbats,
chimney pots, and a milk churn. One fisherman
told Mr. Fryer that besides smaller rubbish he had
brought up at a single haul of his trawl several
kettles and saucepans, mostly full of sand, a gridiron,
and the bottom part of a bedstead, the whole nearly
Bcwt. It is almost inconceivable that a cargo of
putrid meat could be discharged into the sea within
a mile of the beach below Sheerness, but this is stated
to have occurred towards the end of last year.
Butchers' offal is not uncommonly met with. Mat-
tresses and bundles of clothing are occasionally found,
and various articles of an exceedingly disgusting
discription have been picked up on the shore or seen
floating about in the neighbourhood frequented by the
barges.

BEYOND THE CAMEROONS.

Particulars have just been received in Liverpool of
a disaster which befel the German expedition which
set out some time since to explore the interior country
beyond the Cameroons. The party consisted of over
100 men, commanded by two Germans. From the
outset the Germans met with some opposition from
some natives whose country was not far from the
river itself, and were finally forced to retrace their
steps. The fact of this repulse seemed to strengthen
the hostility of the first opposing tribe, and as the
expedition returned to their country they fell upon
them. It is believed that 18 of the expedition were
killed, all of them natives, whilst the German lieu-
tenant was severely wounded. Although it was not
mentioned positively, it was believed that the other
German was killed. The wounded lieutenant and the
remainder of the expedition reached the Cameroons
River in a sad condition.
