UP MOON MOUNTAIN
ACCOUNT OF DUKE OF ABRUzZls
EXPEDITION.
Aseends the kiyania Peak In the
Mount Ruwenzorl Range In
the African Interior.

The Duke of Abruzzi is back from
his remarkable expedition into the in
terlor OF Africa, where he explored
the wonderful Moon mountains, as
cending Mount Ruwenzori, and seal
ing the Kiyanja peak, a feat never
before accomplished. The intrepid
mountain climber has Just paid his re-
spects to the Royal Geographical So
ciety OF London, through whose gener-
GUS support he was able to carry on
his explorations.
The story Of the dukes Journey
through Uganda, and his ascent OF
Mount Ruwenzori is an interesting
one as told by member Of the expe
dition. The party left Entebbe on
May IA last and arrived at Fort Por-
tai fifteen days later, where the Brit.
ish authorities received them kindly
and gave him an escort of 80 native
soldiers, commanded by a Sudanese cap
tain, for II must be remembered that
the duke had to traverse a strange
and in some cases hostile country in
order to reach the starting point of
the real object of the expedition.
On the road from Entebbe to Fort
Portal the duke was met by several
chiefs, who brought him the usual
presents Of cattle, poultry and fruit
The party was accompanied by
about 100 native carriers, who sang as
they marched, sometimes war or love
songs, sometimes song they had
especially composed in honor of the
duke-"the pale Mulanghira (prince)
braver than the leopard"
On reaching Fort Portal the expe-
dition was met by the British gov
ernor and the king OF Toru. Here a
rest of two days was taken.
On June 1 the expedition moved to-
wards the valley of the Mobuks river.
which springs from Ruwenzori; the
weather, which during the FIRST part
OF the journey had been very hot,
grew gradually cooler, until when the
high glaciers were approached 1t be-
came bitterly cold. On June 6, after
seven hours of hard marching, the
party reached Kichlncin. which is sit.
uated at an altitude of nearly 1000
feet above sea level.
At this point the Uganda carriers
refused tc proceed further on account
of the cold, and the duke had to
change them for eighty carriers re-
cruited among the inhabitants of the
low mountains (Wakondjo). From
here to Bujongolo the party expert

only at intervals they could obtain a
view of the splendid scenery that sur
rounded them. At Bujongolo the duke
ordered camp to be struck, and from
this place. taking with him foor trust
ed Italian guides of the Aosta valley,
he started on June for the ascent Of
the first peak of the Ruwenzori Dur
ing the dukes absence the camp had
to be removed and pitched higher up

One ON Sam Crawford.

They are telling funny story about big
Sam Crawford up in Detroit 1t deals with
the time when Sam was a barber out In
Nebraska long before he stepped into
major league base bali, although at that
time Sam was ciouting 'em out on the
nose In the semi weekly games he used
to play out in the wild and wooliy.
Sam, as every one who knows the great
ball player will tell you, is ready-w!t-
ted fellow and quick at repartee. Well,
when he was running a barber shop IN
Nebraska he was also the western agent
for hair restorer, and Sam tried his
best TO work the stuff on his ba. .dheaded
customers Sam is himself inclined to the
above mentioned affliction. But the story
goes, Crawford was one day trying to
work off bottle on a customer when the
man turned to the bali player and said:
Why. you're baldheaded yourself why
don't you use bottle of the restorerE
We'll you see gibiy replied sam, l
represent before using. and my brother at
the next chair over there represents after
using
The story doesn't say whether the GUS
toner bought a bottle or not, but Sam
laughs every time he hears any one refer
to the incident.
