to see the final fearful scene of all
Some eighty or a hundred males, the
last survivors, had been driven across
that same little clearing which led
to the edge of the cliff, the scene of
our own exploit two days before. As
We arrived the Indians, semicircle of
spearmen, had closed in on them, and
in minute it was over. Thirty or
forty died where they stood The
others, screaming and clawing, were
thrust over the precipice, and went
hurtling down, as their prisoners had
of old, on to the sharp bamboos six
hundred feet below. Ii was as Chan
lenger had sad, and the reign of man
was assured forever in Maple White
Land. The males were exterminated,
Ape Town was destroyed, the females
and young were driven away to live in
bondage, and the long rivalry of untold
centuries had reached its bloody end.
For us the victory brought much adj
vantage. Once again we were able to
visit our camp and get at our stores.
Once more also we were able to com
municate with bamboo, who had been
terrified by the spectacle from afar of
an avalanche of apes falling from the

| write this from day to day, but
trust that before | come to the end of
it, may be able to say that the light
shines, at least through our clouds.
We are held here with no clear
means of making our escape, and bit
terly do we chafe against it. Yet,
can well imagine that the day may
come when we may be glad that we
were kept, against our will, to see
something more of the wonders of the
singular place, and of the creatures

under the pressure, and had it not
been for the execution done by our
rifles they would certainly have taken
to their heels. But they were gallant
~ rallied by their old chief and came
on with such rush that the ape-men
began in turn to give way. Summer
lee was weaponless, but | was empty
ing my magazine as quick as | could
fire, and on the further flank we
heard the continuous cracking of our
companions rifles.
Then in a moment came the panic
and the collapse. Screaming and
bowling, the great creatures rushed
away in all directions through the
brushwood, while our allies yelled in
their savage delight, following swiftly
after their flying enemies. All the
feuds of countless generations, all the
hatreds and cruelties of their narrow
history, all the memories of illusage
and persecution were to be purged
that day. At last man was to be SUI
preme and the man-beast to find for
ever his allotted place. Fly as they
would the fugitives were too slow to
escape from the active savages, and
from every side in the tangled woods
we heard the exultant yells, the
twanging of bows, and the crash and
thud as ape-men We're brought down
from their hiding places in the trees.

strutting about like a gamecock, ito
be present at one of the typical de-
cisive battles which determined the
fate of the world. What, my friends,
is the conquest of one nation by an
other? II is meaningless. Each pro-
duces the same result. But those
fierce fights, when in the dawn of
the ages the cave-dwellers held their
own against the tiger folk, or the ele-
plants first found that they had a
master, those were the real conquests
the victories that count By this
strange turn of fate we have seen and
helped to decide even such con-
test Now upon this plateau the fu-
ture must ever be for man."
1t needed a robust faith in the end
to justify such tragic means AS we
advanced through the woods we found
the ape-men lying thick, transfixed
with spears or arrows. Here and
there a little group of shattered In
dians marked where one of the an
thropoids had turned to bay, and sold
his life dearly. Always in front of us
we heard the yelling and roaring
which showed the direction of the pur-
suit. The ape-men had been driven
back to their city, they had made a
last stand there, once again they had
been broken, and now We were in time
