in order that should not encountered
with baggage and provisions and medi-
cines, which would have to be taken il
accompanied by Europeans, and every
carrier was necessary for the vast stores
which had been left with Bartillot. June
"a we reach Kilongalelongas, and July
10 Ugarrowwas. The latter station was
deserted. Ugarrowwas, having gathered
as much ivory as he could obtain from
that district, had proceeded down
the river three months before. On leav-
ing BodO, had loaded every carrier with
about sixty pounds of corn and we went
through the wilderness unscathed, pass
ing down the river and daily expecting
by the reward of G10 per head, or the
major himself. Aug. 10, we overlook
Ugarrowwas with an immense fafilla of
fifty-seven canoes. and to our wonder our
courieTs were reduced toseventeen. They
related an awful story of hairbreadth
escapes and tragic scenes. Three of their
number had been slain. two were still
feeble from their wounds and all but five
bore on their bodies the scars of arrow
wounds. Aug. II. we met the rear
column of the expedition at Banalaya.
Mr.. Benney met me and told me of
BARTILLoT's DEATH,
and that Jameson had gone to Stanley
Falls for more men and Mr.. Troupe had
gone home sick. 1 found the rear coli
umn q terrific wreck. Out of 257 only
seventy-one remained, and of these
only fifty-three were fit for service and
these were mostly scare crows. Acc
cording to Bowney, during the fourteen
months since left the record had been
one of disaster, de5ertiOn and death.
Many Of the stalls seem incredible.
There remained still farm stores than
can carry, at the same time articles
needful are missing. Deserters had
spread the report that was dead and
the officers accepted the report and
agreed to cancel my instructions. They
accordingly sent my personal kit, medic
cines, soap, candles and provisions down
the Congo as superauities Thus after
my immense sacrifices to relieve and
cheer them find myself
NAKED AND DEPRIVED OF NECESSARTES.
But strange to say have kept two
hats, four pair of bc0ts, flannel jacket
and propose to 90 back to Emin Pasha
and across Africa with this truly African
kit. On returning here we lost only
three men, one by deserti0n. Out Of the
257 men / left at Yambuya only seventy
one remain and ten of these win die.
