that goes with fun recognition by the crown,
and it looks as il the East African Company is
modelled on the same plan Of the East India
| Company. Another curious effect of the start
ing OF stevens Tor Africa was the production of
| mes ages from Stanley which bore every sign
of having been suppressed up to that time On
the whole, there seems to have been something
else IN the Stanley expedition besides the rescue
of Emin Pasha. "
