reached Ibwiri. The Arabs had devastated the whole country, so that not native hut was standing between Ugarrowwas and 1b- wiri. What had not been destroyed by slayes of Abed Bin Salim the elephants ruined, so that the whole region was turned into horrible wilderness. But at Ibwiri we were beyond the utmost reach of de- stroyers. We were on virgin soil, in pop ulous region abounding with food. Our suffering from hunger, which began August 3l, terminated on November 12. Ourselves and men were skeletons. Out of the S9 men we now numbered only 174, and sev- eral of these had no hope of life left.
 "A halt was ordered for the people to re- cuperate Hitherto they were skeptical of what we had told them. The suffering had been so awful, the calamities so numerous, the forests so endless, that they refused to believe that by and we should see plains and cattle, and the Nyanza, and the white man Emin Pasha.
 I've felt as though we were dragging them along with chain around our necks. 'bey ond these hardships,' said l, lies country untouched, where food is abun- aant, and where you will forget your miser les; so cheer up, boys; be men; press on a little faster'
 'They were deaf to our prayers and en- treaties, for, driven by hunger and suffer Ing, they sold their rifles and equipments for few ears of Indian corn, deserted with the ammunition, and were altogether demoralized. Perceiving that prayers and entreaties and mild punishments were of no avail, l then resorted to visiting upon the wretches the death penalty. Two of the worst cases were accordingly tafen and hanged in presence of all"
 We were still 12o miles from the lake, but with food such 8 distance seemed nothing On December 1 we sighted the open country from the top of the ridge, which was nam. ed Mt. Pisgah because it was our first view of the land of promise and plenty. Decem- Der 9th we emerged on the plains, and the gloomy, deadly forest was behind us. After l6o days continuous gloom we saw the light of day, making everything beautiful. We thought we had never seen grass so green or country so lovely. The men leaped for joy and ran with their burdens.
 'At kilongasong as, on December g, we came to the country of the powerful chief Mazamboni. Our road lay through his numerous villages. The natives sighted us and were prepared We seized hill as soon as we arrived in the centre of mass of villages about D. m. on December g, oc-

On the twenty-fourth day they lost two men by desertion. They made only four halts in July. On August the first death occurred. It was from dysen- tery.

 Stanley says: 'This proved an awful month to us. Not one member of our expe- dition, white or black, will forget it. Out of the 3S9 men with whom we had started we lost 66 by desertion and death between Yambuya and Ugarrowwas, and left 56 sick at the Arab station. On reaching Kilinga. tonga we found we had lost 55 more men by starvation and desertion. We had lived principally on wild fruit and nuts. Abed Bin Salim's slaves did their utmost short of open hostilities, to ruin the expedition. They induced the men to sell rifles and clothing, so that when we left we were beggared add the men nearly naked We were too weak to carry the boat and seventy loads of goods, and we left them st Kilingalonga under Surgeon Parke and Captain Nelson, the latter of whom was unable to march.
