Because the conditions of modern NJ
earch are such we can believe Stanley
while we smile increiulously at the tales
d Sir John Vaudeville. When the elder
traveller tells Of q strange race who carry
their heads under their arms We know
be lics or has been deceived. but when
Stanley. 'ln Darkest Africa" takes us
through the depths of that vast and
awful forest where he and his band
wandered for nearly six pouths. and In
tro,lucss M TO the shy and savage dwarfs
Who make their homes within its depths.
