l explained through Emn Pacha the object
of my expedition, and offered them promise,
written in Arabic. TO wait reasonable time for
them TO join me The deputaton replied that
my offer was satisfactory. They said they would
proceed directly TO Wadelai and proclaim ii and
begin the work Of transportation. The deputa-
tion started for Wadela on TIRE 26th.
Lmin returned on the 9th with
his little daughter, Ferda, and a caravan OF 144
men He and | agreed that twenty days was
reasonable time He offered written undertake
ing. which declined. The interval was occupied
by Surgeon Parke in healing sick. So devoted
and skilful was he that / was able on April l 10
turn out 2s0 able-bodicd men, whereas in Febru-
ary il would have been difficult to IN ulster 600
Stanley then bitterly complained of the i'm
nense loads of property the refugees brought in,
sntailing endless work upon his men to bring /
10 the plateau, and which practically rubbish /
because il would be abandoned on the march.
On March | he ordered the stuff be stopped from
being brought TO camp. Thirteen hundred and
ffty-ive loads had already been brought in.
Stanley says:

rived from him announcing that rebels officers

whether he would be justified in waiting beyond !
April 10 Each officer replied in the negative.

ton ! said we could certainly, in our conscience,
acouit him of having abandoned tie people, II
they had not arrived. Then, fey days later,
Emin was troubled nv CaSati's scruples as 10
whether they were justified if they abandoned the
people"
Stanley deals at length with these difficulties
convincing Emin that food was plentiful and the
Egyptians living in concord. The natives showed
no disposition 10 depart. On April Emin in

servants would 90. Here was a disappoint-
