The lecturer told how he organized the expedlhon'
and gave the names Of his officers. Incidentally ne
said that jameson and Jephson each paid 5000 pounds
for the privilege OF sharing in the campaign. Then
he went on to tell of the beginning of the march, and
the plunge into the gloomy recesses OF the forest.
He described vvidy the decentralization OF his followers
by the gloom Of that painless wilderness OF trees.

HIS DOUBTS ABOUT EMIN.
Here then Mr. Stanley indicated laid TIN
