community. There were about fifteen in Iuli, all

Immediately NimmO and l began to pull. Poor
Jacks head was under water most of the time,
and he was nearly choked to death by the rope but
by degrees we got him across the channel He was
plunging through the current that whirled swiftly
around the rock when suddenly the lid shot out
from his back and sank into the stream.

the fact that would still have bread.
We waded with Jack to the opposite bank and

Encountering Ferocious Crocodiles

OUR Immediate objective point now was Fort
" Victoria, mining settlement two hundred miles
to the northwest of Tuli. We had no more trouble
with the streams, except that, upon reaching of
them, we were startled to see, baskingin the
the opposite bank, huge crocodile. Observing us. it
made for the water with great rapidity Having
doubt that it had joined others in the muddy depths,
and having no desire to come into close quarters
with these man-eatng reptiles, which have captured
and consumed thousands of human beings in African
streams we paused on the bank
'AIl we can do, ," remarked, is to shoot into the
water to frighten the devils away, and chance it..
With this thr e of us began firing, while NimmO,
rifle in hand, entered the creek with donkey. Con-
tinuing to fire, drove the other dOnkeys n and,
in single file did some rapid wadng. Most of the
streams we had already crossed were full of croco-
dies but they lie in quiet eddes in the rainy
and consequently are less dangerous than when the
currents are not swift.
The rains having delayed us, were still four
davs from Fort Victoria, when again our food gave
out. All had left was pepper, salt, and coffee.
This condition gave speed to tired legs. Worn
and gaunt with belts strapped in to the last
hole we forged ahead, ascending into higher coun-
trv and coming into view of some distant mountains
At last little before sundOwn afternoon, we
reached a high ridge, and Victoria. Jones
and Lawler hurried on in advance, and returned
with food little while after Nimmo and l. near
stream about a mile from town had unpacked the
donkeys and built fire There was much less OF

of rope he took from the
pack a light but strong line and
tied it securely about his body
beneath the arms. Then, prof
iting by. my experience and
advice, he went about fifty
yards farther up the stream
than | had, and plunged in. As
he worked his way through the
water the others paid out the
line, keeping well abreast of
him as the current carried him
down. In a couple of minutes,
having cleared the main channel
higher up than | had, he came
sprawling on the rocks.
We now decided to see what
could be done with a donkey.
Jack, our strongest animal, was
selected for the trial. His pack
had been removed, of course,
but the boys on shore put on his
back our bake-Oven-our pre-
cious bake-Oven, without which
we could have no bread. With
its legs sticking upward, and the
oven lid beneath, they secured it
with the diamond hitch, and
then fastened their end of the
rope about Jacks neck. They
now led him to the place where
