Mr.. Vischer reports that while he
was at Bilma a French force from
Finder formally took possession OF
the oasis Shortly afterward two
French detachments were attacked
by a band of Tuarcg, all of whom
carried modern rifles, and a desper-
ate fight ensued.
Mr.. Vischer also reports that Just
beyond the waterless road and the
wild Tummo mountains, he came in
contact with a Tuareg and Arab band
who had came out to attack him or
endeavor to ge thin into the desert
Iahead to wait for him.
Mr.. Vischer says: "I at once
made the necessary preparations by
putting all my men on guard and pa
trolling myself on horseback round
the camp and town to prevent the
Tuareg from joining the Tubbus
against me, for though they were
usually fighting each other, l had
been told that they intended to join
forces against the Christian this
time. Twice, at 2 a. m. and 3 a. M,
I met Tuareg messengers who, how
ever, ran away when fired.
"In the morning left the camp in
the charge of my boys and went to
attack the Tuareg before they could
get at me. found them after much
difficulty entrenched in position
which enabled them to see me while
they were absolutely hidden by some
shrubs. sent Tubba to ask them
to come out and fight me. They an
swered back that they would come
out when It suited them to wipe me
out and take my loads.

with a well-kept-up fire from about

In the afternoon l attacked again,

sixteen camels which had the desired
effect of driving them back north and
