taken he had crossed the Nile into
the Belgian Congo.
Creeping up the Uganda bank OF the
Nile the expedition pushed forward
for six weeks before the quarry was
located. Fox and his men then had
worn their clothes to tatters and their
supplies were exhausted, leaving them
facing starvation in the wilderness.
The last IL hours Of the pursuit was
particularly trying. The chase led
over a mountain, with Rogers meh
only short distance in advance. AS

outlaw sent back taunts and jeers at

had descended from the mountain his
party came suddenly upon a camp. A
native approached the English officer
and said:
The commander wants you to come
in. He Is sick and cannot come out. g
Finally Got Rogers.
Entering the hut Captain Fox found
himself In room dlmly lighted by a
candle. A white man was lying on a
couch. and beside him sat compan.

dead silence, Captain Fox believing
he had been led into trap. Then
he asked: ~ y W.
Which is Mr.. Rogers?"
%NIr. Rogers has been shot," replied
the outlaws companion.
Yes" interrupted Rogers, land by

Fearing THAT the revolver which
menaced him might be discharged al
any moment. Captain Fox argued with
the outlaw to gain time. Finally RoE

he addressed as doctor. and said:

This prediction proved correct, for
these were his last words.
Throughout his talk with Captain
Fox Rogers shielded his white com,

likely that this was done to protect
the man.
