into an open country where the
kopjes were sticking up stiffly like the
horns OF a young koodoo.
We had hardly reached firm land
when our soldiers fell sick. The only
one of the company of unshaken spirit
was the priest Of the troop, a little
gray-headed man who was constantly
praying, with undimmed faith in Gods

in the delirium Of fever. We made
hammocks of grass and bamboo poles
and natives of the country agreed to
carry our sick men for few OF our
cartridges.
From the day that we left the
swamps n string OF graves stretched
behind us. One after another of the
little troopers fell out OF the ranks.
At length we passed the ridge
which was pointed out to us as the
last to be crossed before reaching the
well-watered country called M'wembi.

our men tramped of to the marshes.
We expected that the natives with ua

with game. and all who were not
needed to carry our tents and cooking

but 1t seemed that they were unwilling
to take the risks Of hostile country,
for the hunters almost always return
cd empty-handed. We were forced to
cut our rations to eight ounces a day,
and, at length, to few morsels Of
food, for we had misjudged the dis
tance that lay between US and the
swamps.
Finally, after wearisome tramp
for two weeks, our famishing troop
came upon a long declivity stretching
for miles before us. The horizon,
veiled In a blue haze, was blotted by a
black Jungle, the margin Of the dread

RESERVED FOR ROYAL NAVY
Most Trees In American Colony Were
Claimed as Special Prerosative
of the Crown.

In the Provincial Charter Of 1891,
under which the Plymouth Colony and
the Province of Maine were united
with Massachusetts, it was provided
that all trees of the diameter of "a
inches and upward ~ inches from
the ground. growing upon land not
heretofore granted to any private per.
son. should be reserved to the crown
for the furnishing of masts for the
royal navy
A Asurveyor-general OF woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision OF
the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with tho
broad arrow"-three cuts through
the bark with an ak. like the track OF
a crow. This was the kings mark.
Long after the Revolution had OBJ
liberated the royal authority men who
had been taught in boyhood to respect
the kings mark hesitated to cut such
trees.
In Telling tree 1t was necessary
to bed It" TO prevent Its breaking.
This was done by cutting the small
growth and placing the small trees
across the hollow. SO that there should
be no strain upon one section more
than upon another when the monster
pine struck the ground.
The mast was hauled out OF the
woods on one strong sled, whether
in winter or summer. and so many
oxen were required that the hind pair
