Zanzibar.

Zanzibar, now figuring as a posi-
BILE pawn in an Anglo-German deal,
has not come into the British empire
without paying heavy price in blood
and treasure. The Island of cloves
was visited for the first time by the
British feet during the Napoleonic
scare era, but since then we have
kept the upper hand. Very uncompli-
mentary things have been said about
the people Of Zanzibar Professor
Drummond found the island in 1888.
Oriental in appearance, Mohamme-
dan in religion, Arabic in morals-a
eesspool Of wickedness, fit capital for
dark continent" But the British
residents appear to have good time
big dinners, golf, tennis and cricket.
The local cricket team indeed can be
beaten only by the combined strength
of the British fleet, once a year, and
sometimes not even then"
