Of the Congo Country.

The savage Crocodiles and Hlppopotami
Of the Congo Country.
"The most dangerous savage foes we
have tc fear" says Mr.. Stanley, "are
the crocodile, hippopotamus and the
buffalo. We lost five men during my
last visit to the Congo from these ami
mails; three were killed by crocodiles,
one by hippopotamus and one by .
buffalo. There are "A number of hippo
potami along the Congo and its tribu-
taries, and thousands upon thousands
of crocodiles. The latter are by far
the most insidi0us foes we have, be-
cause they are so silent and so swift.

said Mr.. Stanley, with one of his vivid
graphic touches; she is standing near

A yearning unbrOken,
A prayer unspoken-
There s much In the future to fear.
