Some queer adventures and many
hardships We're encountered by Lieu
tenant Boyd Alexander in his explora-
ration of the broad but shallow and
reedy waters of Lake Chad, in Africa.
OF u incident he writes: "By now
we found that our provisions had run
out, so to procure food we frantically
waded up to our waists in mud after
duck. which before SO strange an in
vasion Immediately took refuge in
flight. We therefore had to pay our
attention to the focks Of kittiwske
gulls which often circled about us, and
1t was not long before we had spitted
and roasted some before the fire in our
boat. The following evening. however,
our plight became serious. for cur
tridges were almost finished, and we
were obliged to make for rats, which
abound on the islands. digging them
out Of their holes and making humble
pie Of them. and this is how we lived
for another six days"

are enormously thick and high. through
which the travellers had to force their
way. The next cutting, six miles in
length. occupied two days. During
these operations we were Obliged to
spend the. nights huddled up in the
boats. Sleep WIS out Of the question.
We were attacked by hordes of mos
q%uitoes. and we prayed for the morn

dened with pain. preferred to sit I'D to
their necks in water all night. OBJ

as large as a small fly. very dark and
with a transparent body, which grew
to enormous proportions when distend-
ed with blood. In spite of all these
mosquitoes ! never experienced q davis
fever when on the lake"
Of another experience he writes: ION
the outward journey we came upon a
large BudumA fishing feet for the first
time. At first they mistook us for
Other Budumas. whom they considered
as easy prey. for it is their habit to
plunder one another when they get the
chance. Accordingly they closed IN
ready for attack. But soon thew reai-
lied their mistake, and the tables we're
turned. Before we could get up to
them-and the crews of the boats were
straining every nerve-many of the
boats burst out into flames, and the
budumas. swimming like offers under

reeds. b banks We're piled up with

The game Tuesday, as the above
score would Indicate, was a decisive
one and ranks the d. w. tear second
to none in the state. One hundred
students came up with the Yankton
team, primed with yells and with
confidence, and cock-sure of winning
again from Mitchell. TIE Wesleyans
knew they could beat that bunch and
they went out on the field determined
to prove it. 1t made an interesting
game.-too one-sided TO lie very
exciting,
M%itclell's first touchdown came
after about six minutes of play. The
ball was carried straight down the
field by off-tackle plays and short-end
runs, Hardy going across the line
with it. The goal kick failed.
Seaman MADE the second touch
down before the end OF the first half
with an end run of fifteen yards.
Hardy kicked goal. making the score
IL to D.
In the second half Seaman and
Holdrldge each made a touchdown.
Both goal kicks failed, making the
final score, Mitchell 21; Yankton O.
The forward pass was used by the
visitors-to the great advantage of
Mitchell. They tried it several times,
but in every case a D. W. man
caught the ball or it touched the
ground and Yankton was penalized.
Hardy made one beautiful pass of
forty yards to McNaught.
Yankton never had a 'slook inn
for the game or even to score. d.
w. guards and tackles continually
broke through their line and tackled
their men for great losses. Yankton
was forced to punt as often as she
got the ball and except for two
"downs'. the game wasefongbt in the
visitors territory. -
The high wind hindered punting
and goal kicks and played havoc with
place kicks. Hardy tried several
place kicks but was unable to "a

Yankton went home thorough
