Crocodiles were source of worri ment Some times a native would have a fetish in which he believed was some divine power. ' One man swan some distance safely through a part of the river abounding in crocodilcs and attributed his escape to an empty cartridge case he had found
 The Fatal Drink
 As America has had it's booze trou- ble so did Africa and the Congo val ley. There the natives had drink they made from the juice of the palm and the calabash, This booze, accord ing to the missionary, was almost as powerful in it's way as gun powder One time native climbed a tree to get drunk. ''In America,'' says Rev MT. Ross, They get drunk first and then get up a tree" But this man climbed the tree to get drunk. The juice of the palm was running and the calabash was full. He drank so much that he became helpless and went down the tree head first, stopping at the bottom with a broken neck The natives in the town where he was killed refused to have anything to do

with the body because he did not live in that town. So they carried it to the border line of the next town and threw is across. There they refused to accept it because he had not died in that town and it was thrown back. This kept up for several days and finally compromise was reached by both towns agreeing to leave the body lay half way across the border, where the whitened bones of the unfortunate man were found weeks later"
 Do Not Always Compromise
 But not always do the towns agree so easily. Many times MT. Ross and other pioneers in the Dark Continent have seen negroes get filled up with palm juice and go to the next village looking for fight. Usually this means there will be a fire which destroys the village, resulting in a tribal war with many killed and wounded. In many cases the deprcdations go even farther than that. The wounded men and women and the war prisoners learn, what they probably already know, that they will grace the next banquet, probably as the central dish.

the writer refers to the story, but ap- pears to he wrong on the length of time the men lived after reaching Manyanga, MT Bently was a Baptist missionary in charge of another eN- petition. who took over the Baptist station after the. return of Rev, Mr. Ross to Europe. Bently says John Hartley left England, December 3, 1888, with two engineers, They ar rived at I'nderhill while l was there, and went up country with the men who brought me down, They were sent forward on their road with all due advice and counsel, but on the second day of their journey they were overtaken by storm, Their bundles of bedding were wrapped in India rubber sheets, but so badly fast ened that the rain got in and wet Ale blankets. They ought to have dried during the noon hour next day, but were somehow forgotten day by day until they arrived at Manyanga.
 What Bently Missed.
 Ross could then wiring the water out of them. It is story difficult to understand, perhaps the weariness of the road and fever made them care less. tNote-They encountered the hostile tribes after leaving Bently and therefore were unable to pay atten- ton to their blankets.) It is not sur prising that they all arrived at Man yanga in a fever For a week (here again Bently seems somewhat mis- taken) Ross tended them and tried to combat the fever. with no success. The engineers died the same day and the following afternoon, February 29, 1884, Hartley died also"

wives and his children, adtudging him guilty of the crime fell upon him with knives and sashed him savage ly, He was rescued ny the missionary party and taken to the station where he was nursed for long time, but he finally died,
 Death of Hartley.
 A tragic occurrence in the memory of the explorer was when three white men staggered into a camp one night suffering with the fever. At this time the expedition was at Manyanga. the station founded by MT, Ross, Man yanga now Is one of the largest Bap- tist missions on the Congo and is reached by Pullman train, The men were on the other side of the riveriRnd fired their rifles to attract their nt- tention, An answering signal was givenNthem and boat sent to bring them across, They were found to be In the last stage of fever, and were too far gone to accept food, They had been hunted by war tribes and bounded from one place to another until they reached Manyanga almost in n dying condition, They carried a British flag, After being cared for for E hours one died. He was buried in a rude coffin made from the trunk of tree which had been chopped down as a door for hut, and buried with simple ceremony. The same evening the second man died, and the next morning the third was dead. The latter two were wrapped in cloth made from native grpss and were buried with the same simple rites.
 Bcntly Was Wrong.
 In his book, Pioneering in the Congo" by Rev. w. Holman Bently,
New Britain herald., 1922-01-20

on his Journeys through the tropics of Africa, MT. Ross told some weird stories of sickening connections, ons of the most popular articles of food. he said, was q kind of bread made from flour derived from the eassaya leaf, which smelled and tasted llks "burnt feathers and glue,' croco- dile, hippopotamus and elephant meat were popular; Some of the men would sometimes shoot monkeys and eat them. Many time the party travelled for days with nothing to eat, staggered along weak with hunger, their throats dry and parched and their tongues so swollen from lack or water they almost choked. 'Bue never ate any monkey" said the mln: ister with his characteristic humor. "I don't take any stock in Darwin ism, but draw the line at monkey food because l have kind of sneaky feeling there might be something in 1t and don't want to be cannbal."
 Graves Mark the Road.
 Referring to the death of Hartley, he said the dying man gave him message to his mother. T have stood by the deathbed of many soldiers and sailors in Africa as well as In the late war" he said. but never saw man go out without a word about his mother" Continuing thoughtfully, with shade of sadness in his voice and the slightest hint of a quiver. he added, Some of us, If we went up the Congo now. would not need the Pullman trains, we would find our way by the graves we dug"

When asked if he had any experience with cannihals himself MT, Ross said he was instrumental in stamping out quite n lot Of it, He said he had never seen n white man killed and eaten, but that the feasts usually were eon- lined to black war prisoners, although he had friend, who was a mission nry and was killed and eaten by can nihals on the south Sea Islands, Danger in Water
 Dangers In the water were not to be scolfed at either, After heavy pull on the oars of a boat going through the rapids on some part of the river, the negroes usually jumped into the water for an instant to get cooled off, At one time a negro captain In Han- aibar diyed overboarl for dip There was a flash of long dark body n piercing scream, n rush Of bloddy water to the surface and the eXpedi- ton was short man, another victim to the gaping jaws of the dreaded crocodile
 Early Missions in Africa
 Efforts of Livingstone and others were not the first steps taken by the rest of the world or at least Europe to civilize Africa according to Rev. Ross. Away back in the 18th century the Portugese government sent num- Der of traders to the coast Of Africa, With each trading vessel there was Catholic priest These priests were conscientious. self sacrificing men, who went about their work in de- vout, Christian maner According to the minister, they were such splendid fellows" that within 30 years there stood near the mouth of the Congo a large cathedral and the people were beginning to become Christians. Then these old priests began to die off and their places were taken by others more interruptions who gave their time and attention to slave trading, kidnapping England, until years later, nothing re- mained of the work of the pioneer priests but crumbling ruins.
 Toys for the Idle Rich
 It was quite fad in the later days of the 18th century 10 ship negro boys and girls to Europe as slaves. The society women of that period wanted negro boy as mascot, much the same as some society women now want dogs or monkeys" he says. The mis- sionaries had considerable to do with stamping out the slave business, as did British war vessels.
 Different Ca!ibre Here
 Speaking of the negro in America, Mir. Ross says he is not the same moral caibrc of the Christian negro in Africa. The echo of American slave day and United States civilization has made him far inferior Character than his African brother.
 Need of Medical Treatment
 There was much need of medical work on the trip. Sometimes men would be kept at one of the stations for weeks and months, after having been mauled by crocodiles or ele- phants, or undergoing the ravages of the jungle fever. At one time man died in a village and another man, not popular with the witch doctor. was accused by the latter of having caused the death, although he was three hundred miles away at the time. The accused man was tied to a post and given a cup of poison to drink. The superstition was that if he were innocent the poison would fail to work.
 Victim Dies.
 Of course the deadly drug got into his veins and he began to show signs of approaching death. Then his three
