You face to face before many days I reached
here this morning with 13O Banawana, three
soldiers, and sixty-six natives belonging to
Emin Pasha. 1t is now eighty-two days since

three men the way. Two were drowned
and the other decamped. / found the white
men who were looking for Emin Pasha
quite we'll The other white man, Casatt, is also
well. Emin Pasha has ivory in abundance
thousands of cattle and sheep, and goats and
fowls, and food of all kind. I found him very
good and kind man. He gave all our white mon
and black mon numbers of things. His Iberalty
could not be excelled. His soldiers blessed our
black men for their kindness in coming SO far to
show them the way. Many OF them were ready
to follow me out of the country, but asked them
60 stay quiet few months that l might return
and fetch the other men and goods left at YAM
bungana. They prayed to God that He would
give me strength TO finish my work. May their
prayers be heard And now, my friend, what
are you going to do? We have gone the road
twice over. We know where it is bad and where
it is good, where there is plenty of food and
are and where we shall sleep and rest. I
am waiting to hear your words. If you
go with me- it is we'll | will leave it to you.
Twill stay here ten days and will then proceed
slowly. will move hence to Big Island, two
hours march from here above this place.
There are plenty of houses and plenty of food
for the men. Whatever you have to say to me-,
my ears will be open, with good heart, as it
has always been toward you. Therefore, if you
come, come quickly, for on the eleventh morn
Ing from this shall move on. All my white
men are we'll, but left them all behind except
my servant William, who is with me.

Sir Francis de Winton says SANKEY'S let
ter merely confirms the explorers previous
dispatches and furnishes little additional
information. He expects that further re-
ports from Stanley will shortly be forth
coming. A great deal of speculation is rife
as to why the letter to Tippoo lib was for
warded to Brussels and the other dispatches
from Stanley withheld, but as yet no theory
has been arrived at that will serve to ex-
plain the circumstance.
