THREE BRAVE WOMEN.
Philadelphia Record.
Three women recently footed it from
the Indian Ocean, over 200 miles, to
Mashonaland. They were members of
an Episcopal order, and were trained
nurses sent out. to take charge of the
hospital which has been started in that
new country. The Bishop of Mashona-
land expected that provisions would be
made to carry these young women in
hammocks into the interior, but the
force of porters was Unexpectedly small,
and the women said they would endeav-
or to walk
With extraordinary courage they set
out on the journey. There was no wag-
on road, and for much of the way no
paths were found. The party suffered
terribly at times from thirst. At night
the bush was always alive with lions,
hyenas, buffaloes, leopards and other
animals. At one time the party observed
two lions drinking quietly thirty rods
from them.
The grass often exceeded twelve feet
in height for miles and miles, and some
days the little caravan marched through
incesSant rain. They suffered severely
from the desertion of their porters, and
of the thirty-two carriers with whom
they started out only four remained al
the end of the journey. The women had
no tents to sleep in, and altogether they
made the journey under conditions
which would have tried the strength and
courage of the stoutest men.
They safely reached their destination,
however, and they are the first white
women to have made such journey in
to the interior of Africa, the others trav-
cling either on steamboats, or being car
ried either on hammocks or chairs.
