they had SO often been lashed and hogged, and
played the drum where the whipping place
once stood. Jameson, hearing of the Majors
death, repaired to Tippoo Tlb and demanded
out The Arabs said they were very sorry, bu:
Jameson said that Major Barttelot had killed
himself.
One of the old Arabs salim Masoodl, stated
that according TO their own custom Sanga ought
not to die. A man who i'll treated another
mans wife is liable TO death by the woman's
husband, who, however, is not punished, the
indignity offered the woman being sufficient
reason to acquit him. This is the spirit OF the
Arab and Swahili law, hut the Major, being
white man, the law became inapplcable. After
the Majors death the whole expedition became
disorganized. The Manyemas deserted on all
sides from Banalga, and when Stanley returned
he found Bonny, the sole white man, In COM
mand, and a few wretched Zanzlbaris, who
were covered with sores and reduced TO mere
skeletons by the many months OF Ill treatment
and hunger. Not one of them was able to carry
a load.
Little Sondi's Death Kick.
Sondi, Barttelot's little boy, was suffering
from a fostering wound on the leg, which he
had received from kick by the Major He
was going TO wash the Majors feet one day,
ana had taken off one sock and boot, hut the
water proved too cold and Barttelot resented
this by kicking Sondi with his heavy boot, cut
ting the boys skin to the bone, and making
wound, which the boys impoverished condi-
tlon sOonJrendered fostering sore, from Whlch
he eventually died.
The Zanzi6aris and Arabs said that had there
been man in command at 1ambuya who had
exercised due tact in dealing with the Arabs,
and had that man been honest of purpose and
capable of proving that he was SO, men to carry
loads would have been forthcoming from Tip
poo lib, and the rear column would have
moved soon after Stanley. But the Arabs say
that the action of Jameson and Barttelot de-
stroyed all confidence. Jameson offered money
of his own if Tlb would make an effort to sup
ply the Men, but he said In that case he would
have the sole direction of the enterprise and
command the rear column. Barttelot said that
Stanley was dead, but he wanted to reach
Emin, and would take a shorter road to Wad-
elai than the pathway made by Stanley. Bart

deal with the blacks. all prevented the recruit.

ings of the Zanzibaris, and protested against
Barttelot's inhuman conduct, but he was con-
fined to his bed by severe sickness and Bartt-
eliot ordered that none of the Zanzibaris were
to visit his hut. Bonny also made a protest,
and on one occasion the Major ordered the
Soudanese to arrest Bonnv for insubordination,
he having prevented Barttelot by force from
striking some one. But the Soudanese did not
obey, and Bonny threatened to defend himself.
