East Africa company, from which de-
pended the diamond set miniature OF
the queen presented by her majesty as

OF his African companions who sur
rounded him. The wedding process
sion then formed again, Stanley lean
ing on the arm Of his wife, and also
on a cane, and seeming to walk with
more pain than when he entered. He
held himself erect, however, and walk
