father prayed for rain. for instance, and
1t did not come, he would get mad at
Nkuiunkula and curse him. Sometimes
my father would call on the 'witch-doc-

The doctor would tell him to clap his

colored lads of Matawan. n. j., returned
on Friday from a two months trip hay-
ing, without money. visited all the princi-
pal cities of England and Canada and
many OF the cities of the United States.
Daniel Hankinson, the oldest of the quar-
tet, told a correspondent this story:
I'VE were tired of life around here and
agreed that we would try our chances of
seeing something of the world together.
We could all either play musical instru-
ments or sing, and we thought that we
could pick up enough money TO make our
way around. j had heard stories that
colored men were well treated in England
and told the fellows about ii, and We
agreed TO go there
The boys went to New York on August
IL and slowed away on the steamship
Georgian. which sailed that pight When
they were driven from their hiding place
by hunger they were put TO work tend
ing cattle.
We landed at Liverpool" said Hank
inson. We had little money and had
given concert on board the boat which
had netted us a few dollars. Maxson
played the banjo, Harris the violin. Henry
the guitar and sang. We picked up an
other fellow on board who Joined our
party and was a splendid dancer. We
wanted to get TO London and We started
in that direction. Some of the fellows
on the ship gave us map of the quick
est way TO get there. Our street concerts
seemed to take with the people We took
up collections and were able 10 secure a
nights lodging and have some sport
around whatever town we happened to
be In. II we had money enough We rode
in the trains. If we had not been very
successful We took 'shank's mare
AT last we got to London. Here the
first day some fellows heard US playing
in the street and made bargain with
US TO have US perform al a clubhouse that
night. Ye Olde Angel was the name of
the club. We were on time and gave the
clubmen a good evenings performance
and Were paid well for it. From that
time on We had money to turn.
From London we tramped IL, took IN
Bristol, Worcester, Northampton, Bir-
mingham, Leicester, Stafford. Leaning

Then the boys began to get homesick
and went back to Liverpool, got job

finally landed back again in Matawan by
way of Boston and New York.
