M this distant region takes away th
-strangeness I should otb,erwise have felt
and in writing to t aank you for the e*treme kindness that prompted you
send him, 1 feel Tete at home. -
If I explain the forlorn -condition in
which he fouud me you will easily per
mine that I have good reason to use very
strong expreaeiens of gratitude. I came
to Ujiji off a tramp of between 400 and
500 miles, beneath .1 blazing vertical sun,
having been baffled, worried, defeated,
and forced to 'return, when almost in
sight of the end of the geographical part
of my mission, by a nunaher of half-caste
Moslem slaves sent to me from Zanzibar,
insteod of Men. The sore heart, made
still sorer by the woeful sights I had seen
Of ma,n'e inhumanity to man, reached and
told on the bodily femme and depressed
it beyond measore.' I thought that I was
dying on my feet. It is not too much to
say that almost every step of the weary,
sultry way was in _pain, and I reached
Ujiji a mere " ruelele" of bones,
There .1 found that some five hundred
pounds sterling ivor!;h of .goods which I
had ordered from Zanzibar had unac-
countably been intimated to a _druaken
half-caste, Moslem -tailor, who, after
squandering thilin -for 16 menthe on the
way to Ujiji, finished up by selling off all
that remained for slaves and ivory for
himself. lie had "divined" en. the
Koran and foundethat I .wae dead. He
had. also written to the -Governer of'
Unyanyembe that he had. sent slaves
after me to Manyerna, 'rho returned and
reported my decease, and begged permis-
sion to sell off the few goods that his
drunken appetite had spared.
He, however, knew perfectly well,
from men who had`teen me, that I was
alive, and waiting for the goods and men;
but as fee morality, he is evidently an
idiot, and there being no law here except
er
that of the daggor. ninsket, I had to
sit down in great 'weakness, destitute of
everything save a fele barter cloths and
eaos, which 1 had taken the precaution
o leave here in case of extreme need.
