toiced 10 announce that copious dispatches
containing the fullest Information of
sTANLEY's MOVEMENTS AND ADVENTURES
IN the wild regions around Lake Victoria
NfyanZa, have reached us. After long and
anxious waiting, since the receipt of the last
intelligence or the great explorer In June
1873, during which doubt and uncertainty as
To his safety caused many TO abandon all
nope OF his return to civilization, Stanley
mas surprised us with not less than five let

scription OF that region, and of his own peril

1875, and was written At Mahyiga Island In
Lake Victoria NiyanZs. and describes the
explorers voyage from King Mtssas' terri
tory, at the northern end OF Lake Nictornia
Niyanza, where Stanley had been visiting
the King, back TO The camp at Kayehijc. In
the course OF this voyage across the lake
from being massacred by the savage and
treacherous natives OF Bumoire a large
island on the western side of Lake Victoria
Nlyanza. The expedition was saved from
by the skill and cour age OF Stanley aud hi
faithful band OF followers, who, by the OBJ
servance OF discipline and the effective use
OF their superior arms, beat Off the treach-
erols natives. While on the lake the expe
dition encountered several heavy storms,
which at times threatened the frail canoes
with destruction. All the party, however,
arrived safely at the camp after experience
Ing the most remarkable adventures.
TIE TREACHERoUS SAvAGEs PUNISHED.
The second letter from Stanley is written
a f0D flf lNnFaa sraT -srara
da, and Is dated August Is, 1875. Here the
explorer had established his camp on the
main land, but within easy access TO the
lake. From Mahyiga Stanley made an
expedition across the lake TO Ukerewe Island,
at Its southern extremity, from whence he
recrossed the lake again toward the region OF
ported in canoes. During the return voyage
Stanley inflicted q severe punishment
upon the treacherous savages of Bumblreh,
for the attack made upon his expedition, as
mentioned In the first letter.

OF these exciting voyages.

bert Niyanza, at Unyampaka, and after
some delay again recrosse1 the country TO
King Mtesa's, where Stanley arrived on the
18TH OF January, the day he forwarded his
third letter. All the three letters contain
particulars Of the highest geographical and
the country Kabbarega, and visited but did
not navigate Lake Albert Niyauza. This
land exploration by Stanley in his march

known regions lying between Lakes Victo-
ria and Albert NiyanZa, and surveyed their
mysterious recesses with the eye OF tue
scientific traveller.
