government, and we began to feel
that the jungles of Africa were a

furnished you in British East
Africa and which you keep
throughout your expedition, but
the conditions were absolutely
different. The Congo was not
invaded by travellers. and we
would have to pick what ma
terial we could as we went along.
We took three houseboys from
Elisabethville with us. three with
whom we were to spend many
months Of experience. Little tney
knew as they stepped off in the
glory OF that private car what fate
was holding for them. Kiana, Ma
blanga and Merrick, they were

grounds. but the most affecting
was the suit of pink cotton pa

his very evident needs.
We paid these boys the scanda-
lously high wages of 50 francs a
month-s3.50I at the present ex-
change-and IS cents a week to
provide food. Most Belgians, we
discovered later, paid but half tI.at,

tho bright idea Of taking advant-
age Of our inexperience. But con-
sidering all that fell to their lot
I cannot feel that they were over
paid.
