The expedi- ton WAS outfitted in Portuguese East Africa. and ascended the Zambesi riy- CT in a motor boat. Elaborate prepar. ations were made for the plunge in to the almost unknown regions of Central Africa and twenty supply sta tions were establ shed along the way. Besides food and other necessities a plentiful supply Of fireworks and conjuring tricks with which the sim pie natives were to be Overawed were Also carried.
 The explorer heard first of the Dan guelo lake on motor car expedi. ton. It was said 10 be an inland sea upon which no white man ever sailed and from which no native canoe had ever returned after yenturing upon its surface. Members of tle AwembA tribe told wonderful tales about the lske some maintaining that t was the entrance 10 Hades: others that it was the approach 10 Paradise. The ex. piorer smiled at these stories. but hop ed to find there unknown species of land and aquatic life. This was tae cheif aim of h i'll starred trip.
