that Stanley met Emin about January 20.
Stanley, the traders said, had $50 men and
plenty of stores. He had endured great

well. although extremely exhausted. The
delay in reaching Wadelai was due to diff

ceiyed, via LadO, a message from the
mahdi, pOmpously intimating his inten-
ton to su5due the whole country as far as
the great lakes, and promising good treat
ment it Emin submitted. Emin replied
that before evacuating he must wait for
the mahdi to prove his legitimacy of his
claim TO the province. Stanley in the
meantime applied himself to restoring
order among the troops and distributing
stores anda munitions. Enin told Stan
