Towards the end of September Stanley
determined to push forward, despite the
fever that racked him and to strike out
for Ujijis by southern route SO as to
avoid Mirambo and his savages The
start was made with f1fty-four men and
boys, and although Shaw was Ill he was

days after the start, and finally begged
Stanley to permit him to return The
latter warned him that to return was
to die, but finally sent him back, while
he pushed on-the only white man, so
far as he knew, in that vast territory.
The caravan plodded on, meeting with
adventure between man or wild beast at
almost every march; dickering with
chiefs for safe conduct through their ter

regular routine of travel.
