lie had endured great plvations but he and all bis
party were well, although extremely exhausted The

serted The Kings OF Uganda and Unyoro were hos
tile to Emin who Obliged In November To repeI
predatory incursions from the east His general
health was good, but he had been suffering from an
affection of the eyes for two months

via Lado a message from the Mahdi, pompously In
tlnating his intention to subdue the whole country
as far as the great lakes and p omising good treat

evacuaung he must wait for the Mahdi TO prove the
legitimacy Of his claim to the province. Stanley In

among the troops and distributing stores and muni-
tions Emln told Stanley that he did not desire to
leave Wadeai. The entire route 10 the east coast

Of Mahdsts was coming, Emin ordered his advanced
posts between Dufle and Lado retire TO Wadelai,
and Stanley messengers to the Kings Of Uganda

left Wadelal, Stanley anxious, owing to the alb
sence Of news from the guard on the Aruwhiml,
and was arranging to send strong detachment In
search OF them along the route which he himself had
followed Stanley also again pFgad Etnin To leave
wadelai with him and regain the coast
Stanley sent out several couriers with news for
Europe One was the courier who sent by the
foreign consuls at Zanzibar to apprise Emin OF tho
departure Of the relief expedition. This courier had
remained at Wadelal and sent back to the east
coast after the arrival Of Stanley. Another courier
was sent In the direction Of the Aruwhim.
