| slept at Sala's camp. Nothing had been heard
from the deserters of June Is or their loads.
Sala professed entire ignorance, and by Jane
sons account he was much terrified at the
news.
Salim Mahomed said if we waited five
days he would guarantee the loads and rifles.
A big chief called Cu!lenia. of Oochootonoo.
on the north bank of the Welle Mobangi, was
with Salim. Mahomed was on his way to STAN
ley Falls to make arrangements concerning the
subjugatiou and taling of Mobangi. / told
Somai that / should start tomorrow and he
and Jameson should halt at the present camp
until the I'D, when. it the loads were not found,
they were to come to Nasaro Bir Scaf's village,
Wnere they would nnd me awaiting them. l
asked Somai to write to Salim Mahomed and
ask him to do his utmost to get the loads and
rifles, and if they were forthcoming 1 would
distribute 500 matakos among his men, should
Salim get the loads, and if Mimi Somai had
started, he was to send them to Stanley Falls.
wrote Tippoo Tbs secretary. NJ. Baert, and
asked him to ask Tippoo Tib to do all he could
to get the loads and rifles back, supposing that
the men had gone to Abdullah Karango's with
4O.OOO caps; so wrote T1ppoo lib to say that the
Men Would Never Have Deserted
unless they had encouragement to do SO and
place OF refuge. The man reported as de-
serrer on the march between Suede's and Sala's
village was found by Jameson sick at Salim
Mahomed's. where he had been sent by Sala.
Also were found two rifles. These Jameson
brought back. He informed me that the sick
we had left behind al Yambuya had all gone
to Stanley Falls. The Wadibon who left us at
Suede's village is ALTO at SalIm Mohameds.
The last village where we halted is called Loo
bari, of the Wenya LDobari tribes, and the long
village between it and Sala's village is
Bungari of the Menya Bungari tribes. The
Menya S9ts ,oI BunGa5 snd low buildings cSnisal
chandi and Exmuniu mpaas returned to camp
with the man Taboo. and brought me note
from Jameson. saying that Mimichandi had
either been TO Saa's or to the deserters. Upon
being questioned he said he bad been to Saia's
and had got food there, which he showed.
There the matter ended The roll was called
marching tomorrow. The weather dry, dull.
In afternoon there were heavy showers. Officer
to-day, Barttelot; next on duty, Bonny.

In Need of a Guide.
June 1S-Called roll early in the morning; all

chandi. carrying l2O Metako, the fly of Major
Barttelors tent, his rifles and carrier, called
Rissusi, carrying two rifles, were found to be

June 19-Waited at Muniam Passa. Mimi
amwesi and guide turned up at O'Clock. The
guide. who was sick, appeared half-witted, and
then acknowledged he did not know the road;
SO led the men myself down the stream at the
foot of the camp, which flowed in a northerly
direction. We proceeded down it, and had
gone about four miles when we were told the
men we're not coming, so we halted and waited,
and after IL hours the rear column came up.
The men said they could not go by water. as
the water travelling was bad and wore them
out. We proceeded another 200 yards and
landed on the eastern shore, marching
upon an elephant track and halted 200
yards from the water to S. W. We could get
no path leading N. E, but found a path lead
ing N. W., which took US back into the road
traversed yesterday. On returning to camp
however, one of my MunAamparas. named Heri
told me had found the road and took me to it. 1t
ran n. E. and was well blazed, and on the short
distance we travelled along it found many
camps. 1t crossed a small stream, flowing
north. This is the road we shall probably take
tomorrow. Our guide disappeared, and no
doubt he has gone back to Somai. Called roll
this morning. All present Distance travelled
