Arrived at the lake shore we could got
M news Of Emln. nobody seemed to have
heard Of him Our caravan was 40 re.
ducod In strength and during the last few
days we had fired away NO nush OF our
ammunition, that we dared not nght our
way TO Wndelai, at which place we sup
posed him to be. We hud been unable
In our weakened state TO carry cur boat
with us, and had been Obliged to leave Il
at the slave rliders camp, In charge of
Nelson and Parke. The natives we're so
hostile that we were unable to obtain
canoes, all OF which they had removed to
an island In the lake. and 10 we wero
unable to communicate with Emlh by
water.
A council OF war was held an to what
was the best plan TO pursue, II was de-
cldc1 that we should return Into the for
est. n Ave weeks march to 1bwirl, the place
where Mir. Stanley had halted Gf,er pass
INK through the famine-Atrickrn district.
Here we decided to build a fort, md leav-
ing In II certain number Of men and all
OF the loads, a party was to be despatched
to ISilOnga-longn' camp, to bring ON In
tho fort Nelson Parkc, the boat aud such

fort which we called Fort liodo, which In
the native Language means che fort of

forward Stairs WIS dispatched with
party to bring Nolaon and rnrltc. with
the boat TO the fort, while | was left with
MIR. Stanley to clear come Of the forest
and to plant indian corn and beans TO sup
port tho garrison.
While marching through tho forest,
and particularly In that part of II near
the fort, we came upon traces of the
dwnrfs who mod to abound In the
nclghDutho1d. Far away back IN the
forest we had come upon little tempo
rary onenmpmonts, In which we found
tiny bows una arrows, little spears and
dlminutye cooking pots We could not
think whit sort of people they could be
who inhabited these tiny houses and used
those dlminutlvo weapons.
At last after passing good many Of
tll,ao settlements, soWe of our men came
upon small band Of dwnrfn, bually on
gngcd In pecllnF bananas in the middle
OF tho forest. our men mndo II pounCc
on them and captured two, man ana

Adam and Eve. They wcrc brought up
before us In Gear and trembling, for they
had never before seen white man, aud
they thought thoy were going TO be

put some bcudA into their hands aud
folded their little fingers over thom, but
they stood shaking and ghiycrlng from
fright. with tho beads drlhblinE out be-
tween their fingers, ind their poor little
knees knocking together from sheer ter

TO rcnsBuro them. We smiled upon the
little man, and chuckud the little woman
under tho chin, untll at length they un-
dorstood that we intended to DO thcm no
harm. and smiled nrtfully aud know
