A halt was ordered for the people to recuperate. Hitherto they were skeptical of what we had told them, The suffering had been so awful, the cal amities so numerous, the forests so end- less, that they refused to believe that by and by we should see plains and cattle and the Nyanza and the white man Emin Pasha, Whe felt as though we were drag- ging them along with a chain around our necks, ‘Beyond these hardships,’ { said 1, ‘lies a country untouched, where food is abundant and where you will for- get your miseries: so sheer up, boys: be man; press on a Httle faster.” They were deaf to our pravers and entreaties, for, driven by ps and suffering, they sold their rifles and equipments for a few ears of Indian corn, deserted with the ammunition, and were altogether de- moralized. Perceiving that prayers and entreaties and mild punishment were of no avail, I then resorted to visiting upon the wretches the death penalty.

In the interior, west of the Nile, he retains three or four small stations, Altogether, he has with him about 8 00¢ people, including women and children, Stanley's letter concludes as follows, “The Pasha proposed to visit Fort Bodo taking Mr. Jepson with him.
