an address in which he said: Zach

$500 to $1,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which

his town than any other man, and

1t was largely due to his ability to
keep his temper, even under provo.

manage them. They fancied that the
traveller must have supernatural pow
ers to control his anger. and in addi-
tion to that they were notified by the
Dutch authorities that any harm to
the naturalists would meet with
prompt vengeance.
At night the tent OF the explorers
was guarded by fierce watch dog.
