Horrors of African TraveI.

Colonel Long, in describing his recent
journey to the interior OF Africa and the
vicinity of the land of the pigmies, thus
describes the hardships he underwent:
ITO cross Armour is a fearful undertake
ing, | S you. For $50 miles the
route, though painful, is in close prox-
unity to the river, and thus we have
water for 200 miles. Leaving Abou
Hamed, where the river describes a great
arc westward, we are abliged to cross a
bleak barren sea of sand, so suffocating
and hot that the thermometer will
scarcely register the heat. Great ST.
moons or khsmseens blow with roaring
sounds their hot breath, and cause your
skin to crack like parchment. On all
sides q sea of sand, bordered only by
delusive mirages that lead many TO their
death, for there is no well or water Save
one hallway, like epson salts, and zone
but camels may drink it); then we have
water for eight days, carried on camers
backs in goat skins. The camel, a pa
tent, Woodworking animal, without
which it would be impossible to cross the
desert, still has not the extraordinary
powers attributed to him, and is weter-
proof only for two to three days, dying
on the fourth. Thousands thus perish,
and the road for the whole distance
shows FIVE TO ten for every
mile, bleached bones that indicate the
deadly route. Added to this is the fear
ful see-saw movement. A forced march
is necessary, and day and night With oc-
casional maps and stops for the purpose
Of eating black bread and onions and
drinking of our nearly putrid water, all
this may not give you the slightest con
eeption Of this march,
