ton of the presence of DR.. Livingstone in the
province within recent period, and accord
ingly preparations were made for
A TRIUMpHAL ENTRY INTO UJ1JI
The pagazis who CHANGED to be unladen
proceeded, beating drums and blowing upon
Kudu horns. The armed escort fired salutes
every moment, keeping up regular fen de joie,
and the American flag foated proudly over all.
In the distance lay the silver bosom of
Tanganyika Lake, at the foot of the stately
mountains in the background, and fringed with
tall trees and lovely verdure. 1t was q won
derful relief to the pilgrims of progress. Be-
fore them lay the settlement or town of Ujij,
with its huts and houses looking dreamily
like O land of rest.
THE AsToNIsHED NATIVES
turned out at the unwonted display, and
focked in crowds to meet them with deafen-
ing shouts and beating of drums. Among the
advancing throng was noticed muscular group
of turbaned Arabs. AS they advanced still
nearer
ONE OF THE GROUP
who walked in the centre was noticed to be
differently attired from the others. The group
halted, and the word was passed back that q
muzaugu was among them. Squirting forward
the HERALD commander indeed saw that
strongly contrasting with the dusky, sunburnt
Arab faces, was
HALE-LooKING, GRAY-BEARDED WHITE MAN,
wearing navy cap, with faded gold band and
red woollen jacket. 1t was trying moment,
wherein every emotion of hope and fear
flashed through the brain. The fatigues
faded in the intensity of the situation. The
questions Was this he who had SO long been
sought, or could it be delusion of the mind,
or was the WIN man some unknown waif of
humanity crowded the mind bringing their
changing feelings with them. A few feet in
front of the group the HERALD commander
halted, dismounted and advanced on foot.
HISTORIC MEETING.
Preserving calmness Of exterios before the
Arabs which was hard to simulate as he
reached the group, Mr.. Stanley'said:-

A smile Lit up the features of the hale white
man as he answered.
''YEs, THAT Is MY NAME"
The meeting was most cordial, and the
wearied caravan, joyous at the triumph of the
expedition, were escorted by the multitude to
The town. After rest and meal. in which

thew were in sufficient force to attack. The
caravans met at the various hating places
threw every encouragement in the way, which
tended to destroy the morale of the expedition.
sEEDY BOMBAY,
however the captain of the expedition, proved
invaluable in controlling the disaffected,
whether with tact or wholesome display of
force when necessary.
THE NcEssANT RAINS,
alternated with fierce African sun, made
the atmosphere heavy charged with moisture,
and producing rank, rotten vegetation. In
the mountainous regions which we traversed
the climate was, of course, much better, and
the result was that the expedition much i'm
proved in health. The miasmatic vapors and
other hardships of the journey had played sad
havoc with its number and force.
THE TOTAL LOSS
up to this point by sickness had been one
white man, two of the armed escort, and eight
of the pagazis or native porters. The two
horses had also succumbed, and twenty -seven
of the asses had either fallen by the wayside
and had to be abandoned or else the rascally
native donkey leaders had allowed them to
stray from the kraal at night. AS conse-
quence, considerable quantity of the stores
were either lost or wasted but the rolls of
Merikani american cloth)-for shukkah and
doti-the beads and wire-had been as far as
possible preserved, they being the only money
in Central Africa. In July
ALL WAS PREPARED TO MOVE
through Unyanyembe but before long it was
found that almost insuperable difficulties were
interposed. The country there is composed
of thick jungle, with large clearings for the
cultivation of holcus. The utmost alarm and
excitement were spread through the native vii
lagos at
THE EXPECTATION OF WAR;
The inhabitants were shy of intercourse and
it was with great difficulty that supplies could
be obtained. A little further on the villages
on either side of the track were found to be
filed with Arab

and gathering together for security. The cause
of oil this alarm was soon discovered. The
ku honga or blackmail levied by the head men
of the tribes as sort Of toll for passage
through their territories, had been inordi-
nately raised in the Ujowa country by
MRAMDo,
King Of the Wagowa. Obstinate fights had

with muskets, assegais (spears) and poisoned
arrows, had suddenly burst upon the Arabs.
TERRIFIC SLAUGHTER ENsUED,
which ended in the rout of the Arabs, who
took refuge in the jungle. The fourth day
brought with it the fruit of the disaster. The
Arabs could not be prevailed on to renew the
fight, and desertion and fight became the
order of the day. Even the

DO now threatened the town of Unyanyembe.
BY stupendous exertion the commander col
lected one hundred and fifty Of the fugitives,
these being convinced by their numbers, when
collected together, that resistance was still
possible resolved to obey the commander.
FoRTIFYNG FOR SIEGE.
With five days provisions on hand the
houses were loopholed and barricades erected,
videttes stationed and the defenders told off
as well as their numbers, armament and
morale could be individually depended on.
THE AMERICAN FLAG WAS Ho1srED,
and the trembling inhabitants awaited the ex-
pected attack. This, however, was destined
not to come of, for, to the general delight,
q Wanyamwezi scout brought in the joyful
intelligence that Miranda, with all his forces,
had retired, not caring to risk an engagement,
except in the jungle. mastering what force
was possible, the intrepid HERALD commander
then
STARTED FOR UJIu,
on the Tanganyika Lake, or Sea of Ujiji The
Arabs endeavored in vain to dissuade him from
this Death, they said, was certain to the
muzanyu (white many and his followers.
This frightened the already demoralized
pagazis and caused serious loss to the expe-
dition in the person of Shaw, the English
sailor. Undaunted by the forebodings of ill
and the losses by desertion, the caravan once
more was on the march and pushed forward,
BY ANOTHER ROAD,
to the one where Miranda and his Africans
were awaiting the first caravan. This road lay
through an untrodden desert, and caused
GREAT DEToUR
in order to come again upon the caravan road
in the rear Of the Wajowa. No great mishaps
were met with, and when the villages and cul-
tivated fields of sorghum, and holcus were
reached everything progressed favorably.
AFTER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES JOURNEY
the outlying portions Of the province of Ujiji
were reached. Word had reached the expedi-

already occurred in which small bands of his
soldiers had been beaten, several being killed
He had, therefore, declared to the traders that
no caravan should pass to Ujiji except over
his body. The Arabs hereupon held a council
and, finding themselves strong in fighting men
DECLARED WAR ON M1RAMBo.
The HERALD commander took part in this
The Arabs appeared to anticipate speedy
victory, and preparations for a jungle fight
were accordingly made. The ammunition was
looked to, muskets inspected and matchlocks
cleaned. The superior armament of the HERALD
expedition made their assistance matter of
great importance to the Arabs.
THE HERALD GOES TO WAR.
An address was delivered to the members of
the expedition through Selim, the interpreter,
and the forces, with the American flag flying,
were marshalled by Captain Seedy Bombay.
THE FIRST FIGHT
At daybreak on the day following, accord
ing to previous arrangement, the armed men
were divided into three parties. The van
guard for attack, the rear guard as immediate
reserve, and the remainder, consisting of the
less active, were stationed with the impedi-
menta and slaves in the kraals. The advance
was ordered and responded to with alacrity,
and the first village where the soldiers of
Miranda were lying was at once attacked
and speedily captured. The inhabitants
we're
EITHER KILLED OR DRIVEN AWAY.
Another village followed the fate of the
first, and both were left in ashes before night
fall. The troops were wearied with the hot
days work, but all were elate at their success
thus far. The commander of the HERALD
expedition, on his return to camp, passed a
sleepless night, and morning found him
IN A HIGH FEVER.
He was therefore obliged to remain in camp,
and his forces refused to fight except under
his lead. This weakened the Arab force con-
siderably, and, although the dreaded Miranda
and his followers thirsting for vengeance,
were known to be in the vicinity, the day was
passed in fatal inactivity.
THE AMBUSH OF MIRAMBo.
The third day seemed as if about to pass like
the preceding, the HERALD commander still
suffering from the fever when shots were
heard in the direction of the Arab kraals, and
it soon became evident that the willy Miranda
had ambushed the Arabs. This, in effect, was
the case. A superior body Of natives armed
