Next morning fourteen out OF twenty OF those
who had deserted back to their wives and huts (as
isgeneray the custom) had reappearcd, and as the
fever had left me- only lectured them and they
gave me their promise not to desert me again
under any circumstances. Lvingstone's messen-
ger had passed the night In bonds, because he had
rcsoutely refused to come. l unioosed him and
gave him paternal lecture, painting in glowing
colors the benefits he would receive If he came
along quietly and the horrible punishment of being
chained up until reached Ujji if he was still re-

PUSHING ON.


During the day my soldiers had captured the
others, and as they all promised obedience and
fidelity in future they escaped punishment But
was wen aware that SO long as remained In such
close proximity the temptation to revisit the fat
pasture grounds Of Unyanyembe, where they had
luxurated so long, would be too strong, and to
enable them to resist ordered a march towards
evening, and two hours after dark we arrived at
the village OF Kasegera.


THE ROUTE.


II Is possible for any Of your readers so disposed
to construct map of the road on which the HERALD
expedition was now journeying, If they draw line
$50 miles long south by west from Unyanyembe,
then $50 miles west northwest, then ninety miles
north half east, then seventy miles west by north,
and that will take them to Ujiji.


CLAIMING AND FLoGGINd THE REFRACTORY.


Before taking up the narrative OF the march
must tell you that during the night after reaching
Kascgera two deserted, and on calling the men to
fall in for the road detected two more. trying to
steal away behind some of the huts of the village
wherein we were encamped. An order quietly
given to Chowpereh and Bombay soon brought
them back, and without hesitation l had them
tied up and fogged, and then adorned their stub
born nccks with the chain kindly lei by Shekh bin
Nasib had good cause to chuckle cOmplacently
for the bright idea that suggested the chain as q
means to check the tendency Of the bounty jumpers
to desert; for these men were as much bounty
jumpers as our refractory roughs during the war,
who pocketed their thousands and then
coolly deserted. These men, initiating their
white prototypes, had received double pay Of
cloth and double rations, and imagining they could
do with me as they could with the other good white
men, whom tradition kept faithfully In memory,
who had preceded your correspondent in this coun-
try, waited for opportunities to decamp; but was
determined to try new method, not having the
foor of Evo uoU hnfOv uovo and I m ham
to say to-day, for the benefit of all future travel
lers, that it is the best method yet adopted, and
that will never travel in Africa again without
good long chain Chowpereh and Bombay returned
to Unyanyembe and the "HERALD Expedition" kept
on Its way south, for desired to put as many miles
as possible between that district and ourselves,
for perceived that few inclined for the road,
my white man, am sorry to say, least OF all. The
village Of Kigandu was reached after four hours
march from Kasegera.
SHAW, THE ENGLIsHhAN, FALLS By THE ROAD AND


Is SENT BACK.


AS we entered the camp Shaw, the Englshman.
fell from his donkey and, despite all endeavors to
raise him up refused to stand. When his tent was
pitched had him carried in from the sum- and
after tea was made persuaded him to swallow
cup, which seemed to revive him. He then said to
me, "Mr. Stanley, don't believe can go further
with you. feel very much worse, and beg Of you
to let me go back" This was just what expected
knew perfectly well what was coming while he
was drinking his tea and, with the illustrious ex-
ample Of Livingstone travelling by himself before
me- was asking myself, Would it not be just as
well for me to try to do the same thing instead Of
dragging an unwilling man with me who would, II
refused to send him back, be only hindrancc2 SO
l told him, 'Wel, my dear Shaw, / have come
to the conclusion that 1t is best you should return,
and will hire some carriers to take you back in
cot which will have made Immediately to carry
you in. In the meanwhile, for your own sake,
would advise you to keep yourself as busy as possl-
bic and follow the instructions as to diet and medi-
cine which viii write out for you. You shall have
the key to the storcroom, and you can help your
self to anything you may fancy" These were the
words with which parted from him-as next
morning only bade him goodby, besides cnjoining
on him to be OF good hope, as If was successful,
not more than five months would elapse before
would return to Unyanyembe. Chowpereh and
Bombay returned before started from Kigandn,
with the runaways, and after administering to
them sound logging chained them, and the ex
pedition was once more on its way.


THE FOREST COUNTRY.


We were about entering the immense forest that
separates Unyanyembe from the district of Ugunda.
In lengthy undulatlng waves the land stretches
before us-the new land which no European knew,
the unknown, mystic land. The view which the
eyes hurry to embrace as we ascend some ridge
higher than another is one of the most dshearten-
ing that can be conceived. Away, one beyond an
other wave the lengthy rectilinear ridges clad In
the same garb Of color. Woods, woods woods,
forests, leay branches green and sere, yellow and
dark red and purple then an indefnable ocean,
bluer than the bluest sky. The horizon all around
shows the same scene-a sky dropping into the
depths OF the endless forest, with but two or three
tall giants Of the forest higher than their neigh
bors, which are conspicuous IN their outlines, to
break the monotony Of the scene. On no one point
do our eyes rest with pleasure; they have viewed
the same outlines, the same forest ana the same
