am aware, has become almost q new man, and II
has greatly influenced him for the better; but
doubt whether his visit to civilization Will have as
much influence on Central Africa as the visit of my
followers to Cape Town. For the latter Will un-
burden their memories and feelings wherever they
20 throughout the wild and strange parts OF their
native continent. Their voices will be inspired by
gratitude to the generous people who they know
live at the extremity OF the great land whence
they came. The lulness OF the great Kindness
shown to them flashed upon them spontaneously,
without device or preparation. There was no prom
ise made that they should receive such rewards, SO
that the quick repetition OF many courteses with
a warmth they mad never dreamed OF completely
bewildered them at first. Many had known Euro
peans before, but the majority were from the coast
countries. Some were from Arabia, where tue
Englishman was believed to be a kind OF peremp-
tory, stern lord, whose feelings were not to be
thawed. Those who hailed from Zanzibar knew
Europeans only as unapproachable beings, who
could not possibly feel that they were worth any
thing save as hamals human bearers Of burden.
How comes it," they askedS "that these English
can smile and be pleased with u.s. ana give so
many nice thingss Verify, until now we have been
asleep" Oh, gentlemen explorers, who write that
the negro has no gratitude who exclam against
him and declare that he Is but grade higher than
the anima--that he Is hut u brute regards ieel-
ing-nay II not he true that some OF you are also
"asleepy''
TENDERRD BRITISH sHIP
Commodore Sullivan decided TO take upon him.
SELF the responsibility OF sending the Wanguana on
to Zanzibar by the Industry, a fact that all the
English naval ofiicers at Loanda had predicted
would occur A day or two before we sailed from
the Cape Telegram came from the Lords OF the
Admiralty with instructions to provide transmits
sion for my followers to their homes thus remov
ing all iears on my part tnat the Commoiore's
Kindness to us would provoke censure from the
supreme chiefs OF the Royal Navy. Her Majesty's
ship Industry was compelled TO touch at Natal to
coal. had heard great deal OF the Kallirs.
AFRICAN RACES
The Natal coonlsts were very proud of these
aborlgnes and needed but n little manifestation OF
interest in the subject TO become warm IN their
euogies OF them. They appear IN physiog
nomy and physical qualities, to belong
to the great interior race, which IS
greatly superior to the mountain tribes as they
are represented by the Krus and the Kabindas on
the west coast and the Rufjis, the Wakwcre,
Wado and Wasijubba on the east coast, But the
Kaiilrs are inferior TO that superb race which In
cludes the Wahuma, the Watusi the Wanya-
Ruanda, the Wakumu and the Western Waganda,
which dwell in the central lake regions | en-
pected to have seen higher and more elevated
type In the Kafilrs but what saw only confirms
my previous impressions that Africa cannot fur
nish purer specimens of the classical Ethiopc type
than to DC found in that intra.ake region lying
between Lakes Albert, Alexandra and Tanganyika.
South latitude deg. limits the utmost reach Of the
later migrations from the pure Ethiopic stock and
the Kafrs, famous as they may have become, are
not superior to the WanyamueZi, Wagogo Wa
hehe, but really belong to the same original tribe
out OF which the Watuta and the Mazitu or Mabitte
sprang.
