While Charlic and I were in the Portuguese boarding-house, the next night a well-dressed Chinaman came up to me, and something like the following conversation ensued: "Vou have' got pidgin "No." said I. shaking my coat.

I told him I did, so the Chinnman offered me $75 a month to go along with him. "Cash down," said 1, and the Chinaman paid me the moser. I settled with Joe, who charged me $20 torthe time my chum and I had been in the house, and I went with the

However, I want to sleep, and when I woke up next morning, wo were at Woosung. The Chinaman pointed to a large Papico and said, "You belong Cap'n that ship." We went on board and he handed me a long spy glass, a double-barrelled gun, some, powder and caps, and asked me what kind of flag I was going to fly, at the same time handing me $2. I went on shore. at Woosung and bought some coloured materials and made an American flag, which I hoisted to the top of the mast. We then sailed for Ningpo, and at Chinhai we saw the rebels in great force, I had to go on deck and strut about with the spy-glass under my arm so that the rebels could see me, and think the boat belonged to a foreigner, and would let wa pass.

THE MODERN BUCCANEER,

A representative of the New York Herald has been interviewing H. M. Stanley, and this is the fashion in which he unbosoms himself:- "What does the book say?" began Mṛ. Stanley, characteristically assuming the role of inter- viewer. I have not yet had time to read it."

reports written by Mr. Herbert Ward and Mr. William Bonny, but they are not complete. reports. For the same reasons which I have mentioned to you, I mare extensive revisions, and suppressed certais portions, and it is precisely in these portions, revised or suppressed, that the whole mystery of Yambuya Camp is unravelled. I have often wondered whether a thoughtful person, in regarding these reports—and, indeed, the same may be said of my whole chapter entitled The Sad Story of the Rear Colomn- has not been struck by the fact that there was much to be read between the lines, and that the most interesting part of the same Sad Story 'is that which I have left untold. At any rate such is the case. When I came to this most trying. portion of my book I found myself in a dilemma. If Í related the facts as they had transpired I should, blacken the momery of a mistaken, but valiant officer, and bring disgrace upon an honoured name if, on the other hand, I made but scant reference to the history of the 'Rear Column,' the public would cry out that I was passing lightly over some thrilling episodes of the expedition. So, as the only way out of the difficulty, I told as much as I dared, praised as much as I dared, and trusted that ho meddling hand would insist on tearing away the veil which I, moved only by a kindly sorrow, had cast over this chapter of ugly events."

"One question more, Mr. Stanley, regarding these reports. Suppose you had never returned.? What would Messrs. Ward, Troup, and Ronny have done with the reports now in your pos session

"Strange," echoed Mr. Stanley, with his unreadable smile. "It is strange to you and to the public-but not to me. And, perhaps, if you and the public put on your thinking caps and think hard, you will be able to get some faint glimmering of the truth."

"What reply do you make, Mr. Stanley, to Battelot's assertion that it was a material im- "Yes, but how do you account for the fact that possibility for the rear column to advance in your these gentlemen, who, I judge, are today unwill-track in the manner which had been agreed ing to speak, would, in the event of death, have upon " betrayed themselves or at least their leader, to

"May I ask, sir, whether you have now, in view of the piļacks, made upon you in Mr. Baritelor's book, decided to abandon your purpose ..of suppressing portions of these reports which

might be compromising?"

"H'm Mr. Stanley, vouchsafed in reply, an he pulled at his white moustache, and said: "So they think I have maligned Major Baritelot, and would like to clear ble memory-would like justice done him" (with a queer emphasis the word justice). ...

"I HAVE NOT ONE WORD TO RETRACT," Presently he arose, and lighting a cigar, settled back in his big chair and talked, his words coming deliberately, as if the value of each were duly weighed before utterance, his voice low, and his manner characterized by an indescribable earnestness. It was plain that the man feared assaults of the pen as little as those to which he had grown accustomed in forest and desert.

"That is a question that I must have time to consider. In the first place, I shall wait until all these gentlemen have finished anything they may propose writing about the expedition. Then when I have read their books, I shall make up my mind as to my duty."

WHY KILLING WAS NO MURDER.

Leaving this part of the discussion, I asked Mr. Stanley to explain to me what he meant by saying that Major Barttelot had been killed- not murdered,

"That is another point up on which I will nat speak freely at present," was the reply. "This much, however, I will say, If the man who shot Major Barttelei were put on trial for murder in England, underEnglish law and before an English Jury, I give you my positive assurance that there are not twelve fair-minded men in this country. who would find him guilty: Let me call your

where be makes reference to the Majors death. Mr. Bonny writes: The Major then pushed aside some Manyuema, and passed through them towards the woman who was beating the dram and singing, and ordered her to desist. Just then a shot was fired through a loophole in an opposite bak; from within, by Sange, the woman's husband. The charge penetrated just below the region of the heart, and passed out behind, lodging finally is a part of the verandah, under which the Major fall dend,"

..

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED,

"Now," said Mr. Stanley, "bear in mind that where I have printed pushed aside some Manyuema and ordered her to desist' the original manuscript has been decidedly altered. Appeal to your imagination, and try to supply what really happened, Remember that Sanga was not a slave, but a great warrior, and the chief of his tribe. Think what you would do yourself if you saw your wife in a similar position. There With the clue I have given you now I don't believe you can go very far astray.

But, Mr. Stanley," I asked, "according to all one is forced to gather from your remarks, Major Barttelot raust have been a man thoroughly unfit for the responsible position which he held. Why

Why a material impossibity ?" I know that Tippoo Tib's men failed to appear; but that was a possibilty which I had taken into consideration in the instructions left behind. A similar thing had happened to myself in 1879, when I found my elf at the mouth of the Congo with instructions to advance to Stanley Pool. I had difficulties to surmount, quite as great

as any which faced Major Barttelot and I had far less facilities for surmounting them. But I shut my teeth and went ahead doggedly day after day, and in fourteen months the task, great as it was, had been accomplished. I calculate that had Major Barttelot shown the same resolution, and started promptly on his pilgrimage that 17th day of August, 1887, when his forces were flushed with the desire to push on to glory, I should have found them on my retern between 200 and 300 miles distant from their point of departure. That, I am sure, would have been a triumph worth achieving. Instead of that, what does he do? He wastes eleven months in vain negotiations with Tippoo Tib, and then, having rendered the 'success of the advance almost impossible, he sets out without the most important stores, his ranks depleted by disease or death, his officers. discouraged. And thus, entering upon an enter prise madly undertaken, he marches forward to ruin."

"In regard to what I have written in Ia Darkest Africa' about Major Barttelot," said the explorer, "I have not one word to retract. What I said then, I say now, and what I say is the truth. Yes, but it is only a part of the truth. The rest I have withheld out of regard for the family (particularly the venerable father) of the dead man, whose brother is now attacking me, and who may rouse me to declare to the world that which I know, but of which he has, I am sure, no conception. "Yes," continued Stanley, with that same queer look inattention to a paragraph In Mr. Bonny's report, his eyes, "there is an atmosphere of mystery prevading what transpired in the Yambuys Camp, and up to the moment of Barttelot's death, which I should have wished to leave unpene trated. I know the real facts, and I know them to be black. I know why Major Barttelot lay idle at Yambuya for eleven months instead of carrying out my instructions and advancing. however slowly. I know why Ward and Jamie- son and Troup and Bonny, who in their hearts realised that their leader's course was ill-advised -not to use strong word-I know, I say, why. these gentlemen did not insist, as they might very properly have done, that the purpose and spirit of the expedition be carried out on their part with loyalty to me and credit to themselves. I know that if such was not the case the fault was not their, except indirectly. I know why Major Barttelat was killed-killed, Tsay, murdered," "REASONS WHY I SHOULD HOLD MY PEACE," "I know why all my personal effects were Bent sway, so that on returning I found myself reduced to nakedness, I know, in short, sil the terrible details of what happened between the day when we marched forward, learing the rearguand in splendid condition and burning to folcherard we came upon the Banalys Camp hideous with death and disease.
