The white men on th 3 Congo bring homo few stories that surpass in interest thoso tlio natives tell of the time when the un known whites first came among them, and of the commotion these strangers, with their wonderful trade goods and their stilt tiorc astonishing weapons, everywhere prod weed. “We had never seen a white man,” said Muele, whose tribe, thickly populat ing the river bank for many miles, num bers over 100,000 people. “We had not the slightest idea that euch beings ex isted. One day, some dozen moons ago [it wa 3 on Feb. 14, 1877], at the moment when tho sun st ood right abovo our heads, A flotilla ctf canoes of a form we had never seen before, pro* ceded by a canoe of extracr dinary size, suddenly cams into view, I:i tho swiftest part of the current they were quietly passing in front of our villages.

They seemed to but about tho same form as other men, their hail’, their eyes and their color were very strange to us. < ‘Wo asked one another, Wore not these men envoys from Ibanza, tho mysterious spirit, and why did thoy so suddenly ap pern-upon our river? Their purpose could only bo bad, for suddenly they landed on an island opposite us, instead of coming to our shore, a 3 all peoplo did whoso in tentions were not hostile. At first, before we wore able to seo them distinctly, we thought they were an expedition from our enemies of Mobeka. Our alarm drams sounded, and wo crowded to our canoes, all ready for a fight But fee clothing of the warrors, the strange form of their weapons, and the unheard of aspect of tho white men soon undeceived us. Stfll, we launched our canoes and rapidly approached time of the unknown strangers. of tho two whito men had, “Tho older the straight gray han, and his eyes were color of the water.

The other white , vnri [Frank Pocock, who was drowned a few weeks later in the cararacts of tho lower Congo] aimed his weapon at. us, and tho older man talked to him rapidly in a language wo could not understand. Thoso of our friends who were nearest tho strangers thought the actions of the whito men boded U 3 no good, and so they iudred it best at once to attack these mysterious whites, who had come from no one knew where. the “Then the battle liegan, and it was most temblo vvo over fought.
