EAANA FANCENI, AZ u 0QuaGOT.
He has thus won the right to be called
the great American traveller. When Mr..
Vincent left Yale about a quarter OF a
century ago, he found himself possessed
OF q large fortune and a great ambition
to hobnob with the strange peoples Of
the earth. He believed that . man
should thoroughly know his own coun-
try before he began on the others, and
accordingly he made . two years tour
Of the United States, visiting tho capt.
tal OF every state.
Then he descended upon South Amer
lea. mastered the countries and their
customs from Venezuela to Terre del
Fuego and wrote o book describing the
interesting things he Nv. Europe was
his next geographical feast. and for des-
sert he took i'm nearly all of Asia.
When he had scaled the great wall Of
China. he made thousand mile excur-
sions through different parts of the
great empire. From China he travelled
to India. and from India to Australia
Three years ago Mr.. Vincent planned q
65, 600 mile trip as nonchalantly az most
men would plan q visit 10 q neighboring
city. It included q jaunt through CEN
trial Asia, the thorough exploration Of
the island OF Madagascaf, which il as
large as France, and d trip entirely
around the great continent of Africa.
In the course of his African trip he fire.
quently left the coast line ne was fol-
lowing and made long journeys to the
interior. He followed SANKEY'S trail
up the Congo, visited Lake Hangwoole,
where Livingstone died. inspected the
gold mines of the Transvaal and the
diamond fields Of Kimberley, looked over
Dahomey, the land OF the warlike anna
IONS. visited Liberia and spent seven
months in the Congo Free State.
He says German Africa is q hopeless
country. The natives are savage canni-
balls. and a boatload Of captives EN- route
to the cannibalistic market is . common
sight ON the Congo. Mr.. Vincent Is 8
