terry OF Emin's and Stanley's movements
and experiences during the mast two
In brief here it is what we learn;
aug. ~, 1888, Stanley arrived back at
the Barttelot camp, on the Aruwimi
where he had left ammunition and s,,,,
plies under Maj. Barttelot, with instr,,cc-
tions to press on himself as sos,r soon ur NJ
the porters promised by Tippoo Tib
should arrive. As we all Know, he he
found Bartte!ot killed and the camp les-
tltute. Lie thereupon gathered together
what remained of supplies and men, 10o
in number, and started back for I,a1Se
Albert, 700 miles away, through dense
forest, peopled by inan-eatiinr foes
ntanley and his men nearly starved On
the way back, and in fact very many did
die OF starvation and resultant wcaIness
Wnlch made them prey to fevers.
DEC. ~ Stanley and his heroic band.
much reduced by death in battle and
from starvation and fever, reached Fort
Bodo,i on the bank of the Ituru river
where he had left Lieut.. Stairs. with p
garrison of fifty-nine men when he had
started back to the Aruwimi to mast
Barttelot and the rear column nearly
year before. OF the ffty-nine only EIGHT
had died. >'eAs
After a three days rest the whole re-
united band started eastward toward
Lake Albert. Jan. the last camp in
the forest was made, and thereafter only
the grassy plain interviewed between The
Woodslck travellers and Lake Albert.
Here, on the edge of the great forest.
Stanley made camp and left there
Lieut.. Stairs in command with 124 neo.
pie, including Capt. Nelson and Surgeon
Parkes.
Jan. II Stanley himself and picked
band started across the plain for Lake
Albert. When they had crossed the
plain twice before in December, 1887, he
had to fight his way, but the people of
the plain, taught by the severe lesson of
those two passages, now hastened to
make submission and seal blood-friend-
ship. They brought provision and built
camps and made themselves generally
useful.
On the 10th Of January, while still
on the plain, letters from Jephson and
Emin came which revealed a state of
things.
Emlns Movements,
Let us now return and see what has
been occurring at Wadelai, Emin's cant
tai on the Nile, north of Lake Albert, in
the year since Stanley started back to
meet Bartlelot and the rear column.
Two men, one Abdul Vasl Effendi and
the other a clerk. spread the story that
Stanley was only IN adventurer, and
had not come from Egypt" that STAN
ley's letters from the Khedive were forr-
cries, that it was Il lie that Khartoum
had fallen and that Emin and Stanley
had plot between them to bind The
Egyptians under Emin and their wives
and children and hand them over to the
English as slaves. .mg. "l.."& "..@m%.@
Fancy the effect Of such a story on En-
ms Egyptian army. Enin was deposed
and made prisoner. and was like to be
killed. but some Egyptian privates to
whom he had shown kindness stood by
him and prevented bodily harm. Jeph-
son also was made prisoner, with some
liberty Of walking about the camp Ill
lowed. Plans were laid to entrap Stan
ley on his return, rob him Of lis ammu-
milton and supplies, and then-do to him
what should seem best. ..... .7-~'T.
This was the state Of things when the
rebels of Elnin's calnp were startled bv
summons from the mahdi, more
strictly, the khalifa, for the mahdi was
dead Of small pox in Omdurman before
this, to surrender, and the demand was
followed up by an attack. o. -.
So it was true, then, that Khartoum
had fallen, and Stanley was not an adj
venturer, and his letters from the khe-
dive We're genuine, after all, and Emin
had been unjustly deposed and impris-
oned.
Fancy the commotion again. Without
Il ~,
soldiers fought the Mahdist dervishes as
best they could, and actually beat them
SO badly that it was necessary to send
back to Omdurman for reinforcements.
Nevertheless, Emins Egyptians gained
thelr partial victory at SO great cost to
themselves that perforce they must re-
treat and abandon the province. Stanley
was eagerly looked for now, not any
longer to entrap and rob him, but to
succor them.
Stanley arrived. But he found Emin
still unwilling to leave the province over
which he had ruled so long. For months
the explorer remained in the vicinity of
Victoria Nyanza trying to induce the
pasha to return with him. Nearly dis
heartened. Stanley as a last resort sent
word TO limin that in twenty days lie
should give the orders for the return
march. Ten days later Emin with sixty
followers joined the explorers and few
days afterward the remainder of those
who were to return with Stanley, had
arrived.
Stanley tells the story of the return as
follows, in Il letter to Mr. Nlarston, of
Sampson. Low q Co. lie says l have

and for twenty-cight days lay helpless.
