Ea3e6es The most determined Of their enemies.
Two years ago Emperor Mtesa dispatched
his Prime Minister with about 100000 men
E4o Gambaragara and Usongora; but though
E3he great General Of Uganda occupied the
b&ope and assembled great height in pur-
suit, he was compelled by the incement cli-
mate to descend without having captured
more than a few black slaves, the pale faced
tribe having retreated to their inpregnablc
fortress at the summit.
The mountain, it appears. is an extinct
volcano. for on the summit is q crystal clear
lake, about 500 yards in length, from the
center Of which, rises colnmn--like rock to
great height. A rim of frm rock, like =

Another specimen Of this tribe Of white
complexionod people I saw at the court of
Mtesa in the eperson of Prince Namionju,
the brother Of the reigning King Nyika of
Gambaragara. When first saw him took
him Cor young Arab Of Cairo, who had
taken up his residence in Uganda for some
unknown reason, and it was not until Iahad
seen several specimens Of the same pale
color that could believe that there existed
large and numerous tribe Of people Of such
singular color in the heart OF Africa. remote

caravans. s4
Africa is certainly the s'haunt Of light
headed fable romance and superstition;
but shall believe hereafter that. there exists
some slight modicum Of truth 10 all the
statements and revelations Of these simple
people. On the shores ofthe Victoria, in
Usukuma, | heard of people far
north possessing very largo dogs, of
such fierce nature that they were
often taken to war against the enemies
Of their masters. These people subsequent
ly ascertaincd to he the Wnkedi, a tribe liv.
ing north Of Usoga. The same people also,
10 their various wars witn Uganda, have
frequently been found wearing iron armor.
About four years ago, when exploring the
Tsngsuyika with Livingstone. / heard thcre
