relates an adventure which befell
friend Of his. Bob sanderson, In norm
Queensland. This friend. who was
man OF good education and an expert
snced bushman. was on an expedition
in search Of new country adapted 70
stock raising. He had with Aim =
party Of men with tents and all necss
sary provisions for tbs journey.
After travelling about four hundred
miles they found good looking coun'
try. and pitched their camN. Mr. San
derson wandered some distance from
his party. and on returning at night
fall. found the place deserted His
followers had struck their tents and
made of.
He was four hundred miles from
civilization. alone in the painless
bush. the home Of wild and tFeachsr'
Gus blacks, without morsel Of food
and with no weapon but revolver.
There was nothing for It but 70 face
the inevitable. and he started on his
long journey
Day after day he plodded YEARLY
along, without any covering at night
except the trees. finding here and
there q few berries. and often suffer
ing horribly from hunger and thirst.
One morning at sunrise he was de-
scending slope. when to HIS dismay.
about fifty yards below him, he saw
q large camp OF blacks. One Of them
had Just risen. and was stretching
himself directly in the face Of ths
white man.
This was @ moment to test the stuff
OF man already reduced By days Of
tramping and starvation
But Sanderson did not hesitate. with
shouts he rushed down upon
the camp. firing his revolver as no ran.
The blacks took Il for granted that
he had large force at bis back. and
Immediately broke In confusion and
fed across the river.
For several days longer the man
struggled on. Then on the eleventh
lay he sank to the ground quite I'M
able to go farther. Happily his was
now near cattle station. and g stock
nan who was out riding stumbled
Upon him. He was taken into tho
1ouss and every attention was be-
Itowed upon him. and eventually he
covered his health and strength.
