Boston Man Returns From Tunis After
Thrilling Experience.
With Arabs

There never was a man who showed
more happiness to touch foot on native
soil than Perclval Roberts of Boston.
graduate Of oxford college, England,
and an alumnus of the Harvard law
school, who arrived at Boston from
Naples Mr. Roberts had hurried to
Italy after having been chased on
camel back by wild Tripolitan bandits,
who swoOped down on him and his
partys pack camels and household
goods when they were camping on the
border of the desert south Of SfaX, in
the interior of Tunis.
Italian soldiers had driven a flying
squadron of untamed Arab Eorsemen
and cut-throats across the Tunis bOrd-
er, and when the pack Of infuriated
savages caught sight of the Roberts
party it charged the camp with wild
yells and blazing rifles.
Roberts embarked on the first ship
of the desert he could locate in his
frantic rush for a conveyance and
sWayed and rolled on camel back over
the dry sands of the desert for ten
miles before he could make his geta-
way. His three friends. two French
men and an Englishman. got off in diff
ferent directions. al aboard the swift
racing camels which had carried them
into camp.
