Bodies of Two French Explorers, Killed
In 1891, Are Recovered
Over three years ago the French ex-
plorers Bailly and Pauly, started from
the interior OF the French Sudan for
the Ivory coast on the Gulf of Guinea.
They had been exploring the complete
~ unknown region northeast of LII
IBERIA and had decided to make a long
inland journey southwark and to
catch a steamer for home on the Ivory
coast. They never reached their des-
unation and many months elapsed be-
fore their fate was aseertained. They
we're murdered by members of the
roma tribe, who chose to regard the
explorers as enemies.
A while ago this fact was escertained
| from chief who had served under
| me Sultan Samory. He had lived in
the Toma country and knew OF the
massacre. When Samory fell into the
Aands Of the French Kunady-Keleba
| the chief who had served him entered
The employ of the French and they sent
him to the Toma country to recover,
Z possible, the bodies of the murdered
men. On May 8 last, he returned to
The French frontier with the skeletons

we're carried In heavy iron box and

Basset went with an escort of twenty
artillerymen to escort the bodies to
the village OF Boyla. There a guard
| was placed over the bodies for the
aight and in the morning they were
Identified as those of the murdered
men. The ceremony when the bodies
we're buried was made as impressive as
possible. The Tomas promised over
the grave that they would never again
kill white men. Now Kunady-Keleba
has been made the ruler OF the Toma
country, which has been taken under
the authority of the French govern
