But the gallant traveler soon found {ait, though things seemod ausplefous cnough at first, tho nzture of Esmroei was o susceptible to suspicions, that ex- Susoa were daily furnished him which retarded Lis Pprosecution of tho search for the LakoLuts NAge. Finnlly, however, ho was permitted to go. and foward the end of February, 1864, Daker and his wife 2ot out westward in the difection of (ho lnke, “An they wera aboul (0 bid furawall ta Ramraxi, the King turned to Baker, and {n the coolest manner said, 1 will sond you to tholske and to Shoos, 88 I prosd- ised, Lut you must leave your wife” Suspiclous of tho ’a Intentions, Baker, quick as htning, drow his revolver, ud,ipofnting it at Lim, said if Boglared o Tepeat tHo insult ho would shoot im on thie spot, and ot all hia men could save him, Mra, Baler, also indignant at the propossl, rose from her scat, and, maddened with the excitement of the moment, made him a brief but flerco speech in Arablc.
