fifty days of painful marching, and all |
suffering from the jungle fever.
The king received Mr.. Long with courtly
honors, and on the following day, to com
plete the honors, decapitated thirty of his
subjects. Long, after few-days' sojourn,
obtained the kings permission to visit the
lake. On his return the king again de-
capitated seven of his subjects, saying in
broken Arabic, at is necessary to- do so,
because You wish to 60 by the River Nile,
but it pains my heart to kill them" Long
remained twenty-pine days as the guest OF
the king, whose frequent visits to him we're
honored by the killing of eight or ten of
his subjects.

his little band was attacked by
400 natives of another tribe and, after a
severe fight, Long was victorious, the
