began firing guns about 100 going OF in five
minutes. The Major and tried our best to

leave them alone. 1t was their daily morning
custom to sing. l said: "They will soon be
quiet" He now called Amaris and three men
to go and find the men who were firing. When
he dressed he got his revolver and
went out with it in his hand. When

Soudanese would follow me. believe they
were hiding in their houses because they had
no guns TO protect themselves. When got

THERE WAS A STAMPEDE,
screaming, shouting, firing, yelling-some-
thing fearful. With the help of Somai and the
Soudanese got the Majors body and brought it
to my house Then l proceeded to quiet the
people, when met Sardi, one of the head men
OF the Manyemas, leading his men to attack
me. / asked him if he had come to fight. He
said no, and then told him to go quietly to his
house with his men. He did so. 1 offered
big reward for the man who had shot the
Major, and at once dispatched two messengers
to Stanley Falls with letter to Sir Walter
