near the west coast. The boys name is
Kayembe, and he lived near the Congo,
about 1000 miles from its mouth. A
while ago II large mrty of Arabs from
Nyangwe and their Manyema slaves at
tackled the village ad joining that in which
Kayembe lived. They heard the shoot
inS and saw the marauders Selling wo-
men and children. Then they fed into
the jungle, and the Arabs, coming over
to the deserted town, burned it to the
ground.
1t was three days before the villagers
ventured to return a. thcir ruined
homes. All was quiet then. and they
spent the days tilling their fields around
the place where they had lived. At
night they slept in the jungle, as they
feared Il night attack They were not
without fear for Il moment, but they
still fingered around their fields because
their food came from them.
One day, after they had led this
wretched life for about three months, a
gang of slave hunters suddenly rushed
upon the village, beating their drums
and firing guns. kaycmbc's father
threw Il spear at one of the slavers,
woundins him in the shoulder The
wounded man then shot the father dead
and cut off his hand as Il trophy. Kay
embe dashed into the jungle with sew
cral men after HIM They caught him,
and he was dragged away with other
prisoners to neighboring villages, where
the slavers killed the men and captured
many women. The little children whom
many OF the women carried in their
arms were snatched away from them
and thrown into the bushes, there to
perish miserably. Some of them, how
ever. were struck dead or were stunned
by blow from stick. Others who
attempted to follow their mothers were
struck with switches and driven back.
In about ten days the slavcrs, with
their captives, reached Nyangwe, and
the poor people were soon scattered far
and wide, their owners taking them in
all directions. Kayembe's master took
him 300 miles down the Congo, where he
sold him to Il Zanzibar. Soon after the
boy had an attack of dysentery, and his
new master, thinking he would die, sold
him for song to n Housoa soldier in the
service of the Congo state. The soldier
took him 900 miles further down the
river, to Leopoldville, where Sir Francis
de Winton set the boy free and put him
in charge of tie Baptist mission.
He has earned the language of the
lower Congo, and Mr.. Bentley writes
that he is bright and interesting boy.
But the tragic events in his old home
are craven in his memory. He wants to
return to his own country when it is safe
to do so, and the missionaries have prom
ised him that when they are able to
start Il station far up the Congo, where
he came from, he shall go there with
them.-London Telegram
