He wase thrown ution the

cruelty. t•.
There were many .ygling, chilly
ren in this vile place, and Stan-
ley has left .° a graphid account
of the doom of one eleven -yeah
old boy, named Willie Roberts.
This child died in mysterious cir-
cumstances one day, anti his
body • was., taken to • the. work-
house" mdttuary. Some of the
boys: RO*lanils 'iiinong them,
consumed 'by.. curiosity, decided
t0 view the corpse: No one saw
them enter the room of death,
and with trembling hands they
uncovered the body of their
playmate.
What they saw sent them rush-
ing, white-faced,. out into the.
fresh air again.' The livid weals,
with which his body was scored,
had opened their horrified eyes
to the cause of Willie's death.
The life had been flogged out
of the lad by the master's mer-
ciless rod.
It was this sante rod that gave
young Rowlands • his freedom
when he Was fifteen. It happen-
ed on a day when Francis, in a
towering rage, threatened him
with yet another thrashing;
Strength seemed to fill ` John
Rowlands at that moment. He
flung himself upon the sadistic
monster, anti, after a fierce
struggle, succeeded in wresting
the dreaded weapon from his
grip.
Now it Was the turn of Fran-
cis to taste its white-hot sting.
With all the pent-up fury of nine
years of ill-treatment Rowlands
thrashed the master until he had
him grovelling at his feet
screaming for mercy.
After that Rowlands 'fled
friendless and penniless out in-
to a hostile world.
There, followed two years of
odd jobs- and near starvation, at
the end of which Rowlands de-
cided to try his hock in the New
World and est sail in an Ameri-
can j" '0 bound for New Or-
leans. s hardships he suffered
on this voyage were every bit as
bad as the treatment he had re-
ceiVed' in trie wthIchdlUe,'and" he*

erred to,,im that there might
;be money in his adventures. S6
he wrote some down and sent
'them' to' a'newspap'eh"Irs 'reply
the editor demanded more.
This proved the turning point
of Stanley's life. One by one the
colourful episodes of his career
were printed. For the first time
in his life lie had: money in his
pockets. Soon he' was the fore-
most journalist of his day and
became special correspondent to
several papers.
It was the 'New' York Herald'
that sent him out to find Dr.
Livingstone; who had disappear.
ed in the heart of 'Africa. Those
were days when few white men
had penetrated the "dark con-
tinent" farther than the coast.
Yet Stanley, with no experience
of exploration,, plunged reck-
lessly into whet turned out to
' be one of the greatest triumphs
of his life.
He set out at the head of
nearly two hnpndred men and,
after eight months' atrelf through
unexplored country, he manag-
ed to reach Isis objective,
Discomfort, disease and death
surrounded him- on every side.
itis followers perished miserab-
ly, struck down by the deadly
malaria or the victims of small-
pox. One man is particular, who
was too sick to proceed farther,
was torn apart by lurking nat-
ivies and bits of his body strewn
about the jungle..
To meet a 'friendly tribesman
was rare. Most of the blacks who
inhabited the land through
which they passed had sworn
death to the white man; As Stan-
ley hacked his way through the
steaming jungle he was con-
scious of eyes following his
every 'movement, Poisoned ah-
rows w,ese shpik,at him', and sow
of his •mon were speared to
death' `by the' merciless savage.
Besides.itaving'to force a way
through •„ .dense undergrowth,
Stanley'' encountered huge
swamps, 50 vast -that a Caravan-'
with 36 people had actually been
swallowed up by one .0f them,
leaving no trace. Yet ,Savages,

Stanley set out on his last ex-
pedition into Africa. ,Strangely
enough, this also had the rescue
of a white man as its target.
After ericb'untering 'many perils
Stanley arrived, half-dead from
tropical fever, to find that, once
again,the object of his labours
had no wish to be. rescued. This
man was a German Jew, known
. as Emin Pasha.
For his 'services to • mankind
Stanley 'had been honoured by
Knighthood, but on the whole
British people= treated him very
shabbily. His exploits were ques-
tioned; he was accused of
treating Africans; and he • was
'called a iiar'and a 'cheat.

be buried by the side of Living-

old boy, named Willie Roberts.
This child died in mysterious cir-
cumstances one day, anti his
body • was., taken to • the. work-
house" mdttuary. Some of the
boys: RO*lanils 'iiinong them,
consumed 'by.. curiosity, decided
t0 view the corpse: No one saw
them enter the room of death,
and with trembling hands they
uncovered the body of their
playmate.
What they saw sent them rush-
ing, white-faced,. out into the.
fresh air again.' The livid weals,
with which his body was scored,
had opened their horrified eyes
to the cause of Willie's death.
The life had been flogged out
of the lad by the master's mer-
ciless rod.
It was this sante rod that gave
young Rowlands • his freedom
when he Was fifteen. It happen-
ed on a day when Francis, in a
towering rage, threatened him
with yet another thrashing;
Strength seemed to fill ` John
Rowlands at that moment. He
flung himself upon the sadistic
monster, anti, after a fierce
struggle, succeeded in wresting
the dreaded weapon from his
grip.
Now it Was the turn of Fran-
cis to taste its white-hot sting.
With all the pent-up fury of nine
years of ill-treatment Rowlands
thrashed the master until he had
him grovelling at his feet
screaming for mercy.
After that Rowlands 'fled
friendless and penniless out in-
to a hostile world.
There, followed two years of
odd jobs- and near starvation, at
the end of which Rowlands de-
cided to try his hock in the New
World and est sail in an Ameri-
can j" '0 bound for New Or-
leans. s hardships he suffered
on this voyage were every bit as
bad as the treatment he had re-
ceiVed' in trie wthIchdlUe,'and" he*

erred to,,im that there might
;be money in his adventures. S6
he wrote some down and sent
'them' to' a'newspap'eh"Irs 'reply
the editor demanded more.
This proved the turning point
of Stanley's life. One by one the
colourful episodes of his career
were printed. For the first time
in his life lie had: money in his
pockets. Soon he' was the fore-
most journalist of his day and
became special correspondent to
several papers.
It was the 'New' York Herald'
that sent him out to find Dr.
Livingstone; who had disappear.
ed in the heart of 'Africa. Those
were days when few white men
had penetrated the "dark con-
tinent" farther than the coast.
Yet Stanley, with no experience
of exploration,, plunged reck-
lessly into whet turned out to
' be one of the greatest triumphs
of his life.
He set out at the head of
nearly two hnpndred men and,
after eight months' atrelf through
unexplored country, he manag-
ed to reach Isis objective,
Discomfort, disease and death
surrounded him- on every side.
itis followers perished miserab-
ly, struck down by the deadly
malaria or the victims of small-
pox. One man is particular, who
was too sick to proceed farther,
was torn apart by lurking nat-
ivies and bits of his body strewn
about the jungle..
To meet a 'friendly tribesman
was rare. Most of the blacks who
inhabited the land through
which they passed had sworn
death to the white man; As Stan-
ley hacked his way through the
steaming jungle he was con-
scious of eyes following his
every 'movement, Poisoned ah-
rows w,ese shpik,at him', and sow
of his •mon were speared to
death' `by the' merciless savage.
Besides.itaving'to force a way
through •„ .dense undergrowth,
Stanley'' encountered huge
swamps, 50 vast -that a Caravan-'
with 36 people had actually been
swallowed up by one .0f them,
leaving no trace. Yet ,Savages,

Sixteen years after•his historic
entry into that country,.- I•f. M,
Stanley set out on his last ex-
pedition into Africa. ,Strangely
enough, this also had the rescue
of a white man as its target.
After ericb'untering 'many perils
Stanley arrived, half-dead from
tropical fever, to find that, once
again,the object of his labours
had no wish to be. rescued. This
man was a German Jew, known
. as Emin Pasha.
For his 'services to • mankind
Stanley 'had been honoured by
Knighthood, but on the whole
British people= treated him very
shabbily. His exploits were ques-
tioned; he was accused of
treating Africans; and he • was
'called a iiar'and a 'cheat.

be buried by the side of Living-
