They travelled in the Safern, the Geraun Govern- ment's stoomer. Their mission was to protect the natives of this district from nuettes tribe, who were reported to be making raids on the constat natives and carrying of the females of

the tribe. The river was too shallow to allow |

of the stouter going up, and arrangeroouts were made to make the joumuy in canoes. The | night the party were to leave the Siestern the natives made a raid on the vessel.

The second officer, Mr. Hild, was struck with wooden swords, as also was Mr. Stuckard, who was in charge of the party. The attack was made at night, and in the dark one

of the German soldiere received a senlp wound in the hond from is gunshot, but his injury was not serious. Another soldier received a spear: through his arm. The natives were driçon off, und fice were killed.
