Bret Harts's First Arr.vo1 at the Gold

poured out the stuff with as much ease and

when singular incident occurred. AS it
had some bearing upon my fortune, | may
relate it here.
"The ceiling of the saloon was supported
by q half-dozen wooden columns about Is
inches square, standing in line parallel
with the counter of the bar, and about two
feet from it. The front of the bar was
crowded with customers, when suddenly, to
my aStonishment, they, one and all, put

first time, l. became aware that two men
with levelled revolvers were shooting at
each other through the saloon.

SYNOPSIS.

In 1895 the author, an officer in the Ger
man army, was directed to proceed to Zan-
Ebar and organize an expedition and go to
that portion of German East Africa known
rs the Nasal Steppes. for the purpose OF
establishing a station and exploring the
country, with a view to its resources for
white settlement. The party went in there,
passed kiliman jaro. and located on the
Nasal Steppes south Of the Meru Mount
ain.
1t has been stated by several African
travellers that zebras are the shiest game
in Africa, and the most difficult TO ap-
preach, but my experience in the Nasal
Steppes has shown just the opposite. Stalk
ing this game is not so successful as walk
ing up to herd openly. l have passed
herds of zebras within about 50 yards with
out their taking fright
Takin" the character OF this game into
consideration, ! came to the conclusion
that it would not be very difficult to drive a
hcrd into an inclosure. l therefore got all
available forces together. and had large

that our presence there
wasa great boon for them,
for where as they had been

they had, when they did
