His wife whom he maired in Febru ary 1922--was Miss Jessie Macanisten. eldest daughter of Mr. F. A. Macquistes, K.C., M.P. She was then only 20, and bad never been out of the United King

Both Col and Mrs. Statham came back from the jungle in a coalition of nervous breakdown. Indeed, Col. Statham de- clared that it wasonly by interesting him- self in exploring his old house that he was able to gecover.
"Even now," he said, "tary my thoughts to my last trek with great re luctance. I began at Messamnedes, on the Atlantic coast, and continued right neross country to the Victoria Falls, and thence to the coast on the Indian Ocean.
Some hundreds of miles were traverscil in an oxen-drawn caravan, andi' intermin- able distances were negotiated by canoe. and on foot. On several occasions, when in the heart of country made particularly perilous by wild animals the native car riers deserted.
During most of the journey Mrs. Stat ham had u wonderful companion in Fita a yellow dog of bull-terrier strain purchased from a Portuguese.
This Portuguese (said Col. Statham) loved the dox and refused a valuable ox in exchange, but yielded him to my wife as a guard-in admiration of her fine pluck in determining to cross Africa A uutual"attachment sprang up between us and the dog, and when there was a forced parting from him in Rhodesia our hearts were nearly broken.
Once I risked my life and received. severe injury in pulling him off the horns. of a wounded roan which he had attack- ed. The roar of a lion, the grunt of n leopard, and the snort of a rhino filled him with anger rather than fear-and he once even beld up a troop of giraffe by rushing round them, regardless of im-
