COL. HARKISON'S PIGMIES.

FROM THE GREAT FOREST.

EXPLORER'S REMARKABLE STORY.

Col. J. J. Harrison, who has just retumed to London after his four months' sofaura in the Congo forest, bas given to Reuter's representa tive a remarkably interesting account of the pigmier of the great forant, six of whom he brought with him back to Cairo, and intends

to convey to England,

The Journey from Khartoum to trumu, about 30 miles west of the Nile, and situated on the edge of the great forest, was uneventful, the country being quite peaceful,

Apart from the pigmies, Col. Harrison tayı there is no sign of human life in the forest. Partly from superstition and largely owing to | fear of the pigmies the natives avoid and will [037 not enter it. Even the pigmies do not pene

irate for more than about two days into its re- - conses, while no white man goes there.

THE LITTLE MEN'S VILLAGE STRUCK) A pigmy village was struck at the end of the first day's march, and messages were sent to the little people by means of a pigmy bay who spoke Swahili, and who was with Cal, Harri- son's party, announcing the approach of a white man, and explaining the object of the visit.

As requested, the plamies came la and danced, and promised to accompany the tra I'veller on a hunting expedition, but during the night they became scared, and next morning there was no rigmy for probably a distance of iq miles.

THE WORRIED WOMEN. They say men must work and women must weep; but alas, in thịt too busy world women often have to work and weep at the same time..

A PRIENDLY GREETING,

In describing his stay with the pigmies, Col. Harrison said

,

"When once, I had gained their confidence they were quite friendly, and eventually six of them four men and two women-volunteered so come with me to England. They are extra- ordinary people, and during three weeks I spent among them in the forest, I was able to obtain much interesting information with re- gard to them. They freely conducted me to their little villages, and at night time erected leafy structures under which I slept. They are of an extremely low order of intelligence, and know absolutely nothing of what goes on around them. They seem to have no religious instincts and possess no idea of a Supreme Being.

FOUR TO FOUR FEET THARE.

Their average height is from 4ft to 4ft. 3 in,, and curiously enough as a rule the women are taller than the men. The women have also better physical development. The men seem to me to be starved to death.

A noteworthy fact was the prevalence of a terrible cough. due perhaps to the dampness of the atmosphere All the pigmies alike suffered from this to such a degree that it was difficult in sleep at night. I had quite expected to find that serious lung trouble was prevalent, but was surprised to discover, as a result of medical examination of the pigmies who accompanied me back to Egypt, that the lungs were quite healthy,

The actual village was some distance from

away between the trees, sometimes in almost inaccessible places. It consisted of some dozen little leafed-in arbors pit, in diameter, and less tham 4ft. high at the highest point. In front of these burnt a bright fire, while within each of the dwellings crouched from eight to ten af the pigmies.

Later in the day, at my request, they came to my camp and danced. They are tremen- dous dancers, and they will perform for hours at a stretch without fatigue. Their move. ments are in perfect time, and by no means ungraceful-about a hundred form up in a line and dance round a couple of native drums. Thess, with the shrill whistles which they employ when aut hunting, appear to be iheir only musical instruments.

SPANKING OF SPEECH.

.

;

On the first night only 35 came out to dance, all the women being kept in the hats; but on subsequent occasions I have had as many as a bundred performing before me.

A.striking characteristic of the people is their extraordinary uilepce; they will sit for hours without uttering a word. They are nomadic, and their only wealth is in spears. The num. ber of spears determines the number of wives these people can afford.

They are practically nude. The women's only clothing is a few leaves, while the men's attire consists of a scrap of skio round the waist. Their whole personal belongings con- sist of a poisoned spear or two and an old clay cooking-pot. The women carry their infants slung across their sides.

·

BUT FEARLESS HUNTERS.

They are fearless bunters, and will boldly. attack an elephant by rushing up to it and planting a poisoned spear in the brute. They are also very warlike little people, and only a short while before my arrival in the farest they had sallied out, strecked, and looted a Belgian Caravan and killed 17 porters. There were no white men with the caravan, and the native soldiers bolted. They eat like animale, oven gaawing the bones of their prey. When an animal is caught they cut it up, skin and all, and put it in the cooking pot.
