NAMED with US that night, telling US
wonderful stories about big ships as
large as islands, filled with men, &c,
which left no doubt in our mind that
the white man was Emin Pasha. The
next days march brought US to Chief
kavali. After awhile he handed me
note from Emin Pasha, covered with a
strip or black American oil cloth. The
note was to the effect that, as there
had been a native rumor that a white
man had been seen at the south end of
the lake, he had gone in a steamer to
make inquiries. but had been unable
to obtain reliable information. He
begged me to remain where 1 was until
he could communicate with me. The
next day, April 2Sd, Mir. Jephson was
despatched with a strong force to take
the boat to the NyanZa. On the 10th
the boats crew sighted Mawa Station,
the southernmost belonging to Emin
Pasha. Mr.. Jephson was there hos
pitably entertained by the Egyptian
garrison.
The boats crew say that they were
embraced one by one, and that they
never had such attention shown to
them as by these men, who hailed them
as brothers On April % we once again
