From this date un- til October 18 he followed the left bank of the Aruwhimi. After 17 days of continuous marching, the expedition halted for one day’s rest. DEATHS AND DESERTIONS. On August 1 the first death oc- curred, the cause being dysentery. So far, for 34 days, the course had been singularly successful. The party now entered a wild country, in their nine-days’ march through which their sufferings multiplied and several deaths occurred. On August 13, on arnving at Airsibba, the na- tives presented a bold front aud the arty lost five men from poison- ed arrows. Lieut. Stairs was wound- ed below the heart aud suffered greatly, but he recovered. On Au gust 31 the expedition meta party of Manyemas and their misfortunes | began on this date. Stanley writes that he had taken the Congo rouie to avoid Arabs, who would tempt his men. Within three days of this unfortunate meeting 26 men desert- ed. What Stanley describes as an aw- ful month begins on September 18. Leaving the station Chief Ugarrava when the expedition numbered 263 men, having | 66 by desertion and death and having left 56 sick with Uga ya, the march led to the Arab settlement | Kalinga Longa. The men lived on wild fruits, fungi and nuts. A BOAT ABANDONED. : : H Before reaching Kalinga Longa Stanley lost 55 men through starv tion and desertion. A slave-owner at Kilinga Longa did his utmost to i ruin the expedition short of hostili- ties. He insisted upon purchasing rafts, amunition and clothing, so that the expedition was beggared.

On the 9th we entered the country of the powerful chief, Mazambom. The villages were scattered so thick- ly that no road except through them could be found. The natives sighted us, but we were prepared. We seized a hill as soon as we arriv- ed in the centre of a of villages and built a zarebaas fast as bill-hooks could cut the brush | wood. mass.

After a slight skirm- jish, ending in our capturing we left the ocean, the night passed peacefully both sides preparing for \the morrow.
