turn to the right of approximately a quar-

open. and We found ourselves at the very
foot of the mountain and saw cut through

from which side each end of the hill ascends
at about a 45-degree angle to its regular

To the north of this is to be found gen.

Forestry and vegetation are most luxuriant
in the alluyial districts. The rocks and
sandhills are bare.
We steamed up this little, rapid stream,
constantly turning to right or left, to avoid
rocks or rifles or bends, for seven days.
On the sixth day up this serpentine creek
we got into a more level, apparently
swampy region, where the stream was 20
rods wide, with occasional islands. We
had just rounded a corner to face two
small uuarter-acre islands After having
got abreast Of them, l saw at some distance
a canoe padded by a company Of natives.
At first ! thought it some Ethiopian DO
tentate who had heard of our coming and
had launched out to meet us 10 tell us what
big chief he was. All eyes were on that
canoe. My Yansi boys declared that il was
manned by their people. as they recognized
their movements. The party seemed to be on

plainly, so Little Bell, OF whom ! wifi
speak later, went up on the awning and
caught a corner of our flag and held it
across our beam, so that it could be plainly
seen. This caused those in the boat to
howl, and not another paddle went into
the water until we were nearly abreast of
them. Then l saw that the one whom

By this time l had been compelled to turn
the bow towards midstream- so that we
could drift safely while steam was raising.
Soon Eleote had 30 pounds of steam, by
breaking some boxes. boards and little oil
and stopping the pumps.

have employed heretofore, and just now
are attempting to use again, with the ex-
ception of the last; the insurrectos take
their exercise on foot, and are very much
afraid of cavalry.
