OVER FOUR HUNDRED MILES THROUGH COUNTRIES
SELDOM TRAVELLED.
Instead Of going west along g vel! knoYn road
the NEW YORK HERALD expedition Mfuck into
regions very little known and travelled BY
bound for Western Urori, during which time many
deserted and the Englishman had been sent back as
perfectly useless. Crossing Unkonongo westward
we travelled until we entered Kawendi, an en-
tirely new country. After supplying the men of the
expedition with ten days provisions we plunged
into the wilderness and went north, from which we
did not emerge until we had sighted the Malaga
razi River.

HEAVY TRIBUTE.
Here, after already lodging and escaping from
four wars, which made the country dangerous to
travellers we were confronted with hostilities
waged by Sultan Nzogera against Lokanda Mira,
another Sultan OF Uvinza, which was most serious
inconvenience to me-nay. 1t well nigh ruined the
expedition. After paying heavy tribute to Nzogera
and crossing the Malagarazi River, we might have
reached Ujii without further trouble had thcre
been no war. But this war compelled me to adopt
the Uhha route-one always avoided by Arabs It

the expedition might possibly have arrived at Uji
with months provisions left.
CHANGE OF FRONT
Our resolve was taken At midnight we left the
Mutware's village, with guns loaded, and left the
road, plunging into the low jungle, and travelling
parallel to the road westward, march III twenty-five
miles without hating. We then cooked and rested,
and at night again marched all night until we had
crossed Uhha and had arrived In ukaranga safely.
Two marches more, and we were
