IN CHIEF MozA.rpoN1's COUNTRY.

Al hiongasongRs on Dec. ., we came 10
the country Of the powerful Chief Mozam-
a. Our road lay through his numerous
ViAnees. The natives sighted US and were
prepared We seized a hill as soon as we ar
rived IN the center of a mass Of villages about
p m. on Dec Q, occup ed it. and built a
Aarlba OF brushwood as fast as we could cut
It. The war cries were terrible from hill 20
hill across the valleys. People gathered by
hundreds from all points, and war horns and
drums announced the struggle We checked
the first advance Of the natives with a little
skirmish and captured a cow, the first meat
we had tasted since leaving the ocean, Night
passed peacefully In the morning we opened
parley. The natives were anxious to know
who we were, and we were equally anxious
to CLEAN news They said Mozamboni only
held the country for Kabharegn, who was
thair real king. They finally accepted
cloth and brass rods 10 show Mozamboni,
and hostilities were suspended until
morning, when Mazamboni sent word
that we must be- driven from the land The
proclamation waagrceted in the valley with
deafening cheers Their word Kanwana sig
giies peace and Kurwana war. We hoped
we had heard wrongly, therefore, and sent
cur interpreter nearer 10 inquire. They re-
sponded 'kurwana, and emphasized 1t with
two arrows fired at him. Our hill was be-
tween two valleys | sent forty men under
Lieut.. Stairs TO attack tho natives In one
valley and thirty under Mr. Jepson into the
other valley Stairs crossed a deep river in
face Of the natives, assaulted the first village
and took IT, The sharpshooters did effective
work, and drove the natives back up the
opposite slope until the fight became general.
Jepson also drove the natives 10 front of him.
sWe marched straight up the valley, driving
back the people and taking villages as we
went
ON THE MARCH AGAIN.
"On the morning Of the 18th we continued
our march. During the day we had four
little fights. On to 18th we marched straight
east, and were attacked by new forces every
hour until noon, when we halted for refresh
ments At p. m, we resumed our march
and fifteen minutes later / cried, Prepare
for sight of Nyanza. The men murmured
and doubted and said: why does master
continually talk this wayi Nyanza indeed
Is not this a plain, and can we not see the
mountainsf But fifteen minutes later and
after our four days march, the Albert Ny
anza was before them All came 10 kiss my
hands in recognition OF my prophecy. Our
position was 200 feet above the sea, the lake
over Z, 900 feet below us We were then in
deg. 20 m latitude. The south end Of the
Nyanza lay mapped out about six miles south
Of this position. Right across TO the eastern
shore was the tributary, LanililSa, flowing
from the southwest As we descended the
natives hundred feet below poured Ia on
Us, but their primitive style Of fighting didn't
delay US

which Was TO the effect that as there hat
been a rumor that white man had been sseI
