THE TRACK OF THE MAzITU.
On leaving this h0spitable region In the early
part Of December. 1885, the Doctor entered q
country where the Mazitu had exercised their Gus
tomary spoliatng prOpensties. The land was
swept clean Of all provisions and cattle, and the
people had emigrated to other countries beyond
the bounds Of these ferocious plunderers. Again
the expedition was besieged by famine and was
reduced to great extremity. To satisfy the
pinching hunger it suffered it had recourse
to the wild fruits which some parts of
tho country furnished. At intervals the
condition Of the hard-pressed band was
made worse by the heartiess desertion of
some of its members, who more than once departed
with the Doctors personal kit-changes Of clothes
and linen, &c. With more or less misortunes con.
stanty logging his footsteps he traversed in safety
the countries of the Babisa Bohemia, Barungu, Ba-
ulungu and Londa.

BAND OF AMAZONs.
Shortly after his introduction to the King the
Queen entered the large house surrounded by
body guard Of Amazons armed with spears. she
was lne TALL handsome young woman, and evil
IDENTITY thought she was about to make great i'm

clothed herself after a most royal fashion, and
was armed with p0nderous spear But her ap-
pearance, SO different from what the Doctor had
imagined, caused him to laugh, which entirely
spoiled the effect intended, for the laugh OF the
Doctor was 80 contagious that she herself was the
first who initiated, and the Amazons courtier-like,
followed suit. Much disconnected by this, the
