paring my last letters, was rather sur prised at
visit paid me In my camp from party OF the sui
tan's soldiers. the CHIEF OF whom bore letter from
the Governor OF Bagamoyo, wherein ne complained
that my people had induced about fifteen women
TO abandon their masters.
On mastering the people ana inauiring into their
domestic AFFAIRS It was discovered that q large
number OF women had indeed joined the expe.
dition during the night. Most OF tnem, however
bore free papers accorded them by tue political
agent at Zanzibar; but eleven were, by their own
confessions, runaway slaves. After being hospta-
bly, received By the Sultan Of Zanzibar and the
Arabs IL was no part OF strangers DUTY. unless
authorized by some governments likely 10
abide By its agents actions to countenance
such . novel mode OF hoerating the slaves.
The order vas, therefore, given that these
women should return with the Sultan's soldiers;
but a. sns did not agree with either the views OF
the women themselves or their abducters the fe-
males set up . determined defiance to the order.
and the males seized their SniCer rifes vowlng
that they should not return. As such dispost.
ton ana demonstration OF hostility was not
polite nor calculated to deserve my esteem, or to
win for me the Arabs good WILL this disposition
was summarily suppressed and the women re-
turned to their masters.

ON THE SOUTHERN BANK OF THE wANL
Our course since leaving Rosako mas been mainly
west.northwest. until approaching Mpwapwa we
travelled due west. For several days we Jour
neyed along the southern bank OF the Want River
making the discovery that the Wami can never be
navgable during the dry season. as Its channel
for many miles is choked with granite boulders.
During the rainy season very large craft could
ascend as lar as the Usagars Mountains; there Is
arise OF over sixteen leet IN the river. On cross
ing the Wami We entered Nguru, which Is north
OF Useguboa-a country studded with tall peaks
and mountains the highest OF which is q trun-
Gated cone, Mount K,dudwe, having an altitude OF
about 900 feet above the sea. AS we journeyed
through Nguru We crossed the several tributaries
OF the Want, which are the Mwehweb, the Mklndo
the Mvomero, the Usingwe, the Rudews anu
Mukonookwa.
IN NORTHERN usAGARA.
From Nguru we entered Northern Usagara. over
ground which the aneroids indicated was A,475
feet ABOVE sea level. Then we descended into
lower ground about 400 Iset above sea level until
we came to Mpwapwa, which, have ascertained'
has an altitude, according to boiling point and two
bsrometers. Of S,576 feet.
Three days from here we crossed three trtou.
taries of some river flowing east north of the
Want. which may probably be the Pangani.
SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS.
The most extreme north which we reached on
our journey here from the coast has been south
latitude deg. ~ min., which ascerrained oy
taking double attitudes. This was at the village
Of Kitangeh.
We intend to prosecute our journey tomorrow,
but before leaving the UnyanyemDe road for the
land OF discoveries and the sources Of the Nile.
which l am eager to reach. viii drop you Q
