AGAIN ADRIFT.
Again we let the boat drift whittier it
might, ss all our efforts to keep on our
course were useless aud vain. Indeed,
we began to think that the curse OF the
| people of Bumbireh "Go and die in
Niyanza," might be realized, after all,
though had much faith in the stsunch
boat which Messenger, Of TeddiDgton,
so corscientiously built.
RETURN TO CAMP.
A gray, cherries, raw morning dawn
ed at last, al discovered ourselves to be
ten miles north Of Ruw0ma, and twenty
miles northwest OF Kagehyi, at which
latter place my camp was situated. We
put forth our best efforts, hoisted sail,
and though the wind was but little in cur
favor at first, it soon rewarded our perse-
verInce and merri y rushing tall waves
came booming astern of US, SO that we
sailed in triumph alongssthe we'll known
shores Of Usukuma straight to camp.
Shouts Of welcome greeted US from shore,
when even many miles away; but as we
drew near the shouts changed TO volleys
OF musketry and waving of flags, and
tie land seemed alive with leapiu g forms
of glad hearted men, for we had been
fifty-ssven days absent fr )m our people,
and mary a false runner Of our death,
strengthened each dsy as our absence
grew longer, was now dissipated by the
Lady Alice sailing joyously to the port
of Kagehyi.
JOYFUL GREETING.
AS the keel grounded, over fifty men
bounded TO the water, dragged me from
the boat, and danced me round camp On
their shoulders, amid much laughter,
clspping Of hands, grotesque wriggling
Of human forms, and Saxon hurrahing.
Having vented their joy, they set me
down, and eli formed circle, many
men deep, to hear the news, which was
given with less detail than / have the
hoaor to write to you. So ended our ex-
plOratiol Of Lake Victoria NiyaDza.

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Confession from them Through Chief-Of-
Police M'DOnOugh, Of st. Louis
Names of the Ruffianss
How the Crime was AccOmplished-The
Participants and the Booty they Re-
ceiyed-The YOungers and the
James's Leaders.

Sr. LOUIS, August 12.-Chie-of.Po!ice
M'Donough, at late hour tonight,
gave out the confession of Hobbs
Kerry, the o .torville train-robber. 1t is
to be published to morrow. Ills quite q
lengthy document, but the essential
facts are that Kerry, Frank and J sse
Jsmeg, Cole and Bui Younger, Cliff
Miller, Charles Pitts and VIM Chad
well constituted the gang that robbed
the train, and that Kerry got twelve
hundred dollars of the sWag. It ap
pears that the train was not robbed
in accordance with a previously
concerted plan, but the party had been
riding over large extent of country
without finding anything particular to
do, and finally concluded to attack this
train, and acting apparently more from
Impulse than anything else. Kerry wa,
no. regular member Of the gang, but
had been with them during their raid
through the country, and was
also present at the r0bbing of the
train, and shared the spoils. It also
appears that the police authorities here
had information, early in June last, that
the YOungers, Jamt 9s, and the other
members of the band, contemplated
robbing the bank at GTanby, in south
west Missouri, and off -ers were sent
there from here. This project was
abandoned, however, and the officers
returned as soon ss the robbery Of the
train occurred. Chief M'Donough felt
certain that it was done by this gang,
and he Immediately sent to CRANKY,
Joplin and other places. The arrest OF
Kerry and Bruce Younger was the re-
suit. M'Donough had intercepted let
ter written by Kerry to one Bond, and
it was through this lett:r that he ex-
tracted the confession frop: him. All
of the parties mentioned above
have been indicted by the grand jury Of
Cooper county, Missouri, but whether
any vigorous measures will be
taken for their arrest is not known.
Tkere are no official advices of the cap
ture OF Chadwell and Pitts, and officers
here do not put much reliance in repor's
to that effect, The confession also gives
description Of the robbery of the train,
which is essentially the same as hereto
fore published; also of the movements of
the robbers for some time previous to the
attack on the train, and their course to
the point where the booty was divided,
making quite ciTcumstaustial account
of all their OrOPe a0ippa
