. The story of the rear column of the Emin Pasha relief expedition [microform] . Explorers; Birds; Insects; Explorateurs; Oiseaux; Insectes. iN. people arc to A good many exact weight, hem, althouwthey will all Tib to Stanley reshofF, whom ad scarcely an LRTrER. LE'ITKR TO MRS. JAMESON. 307 t Yambuya Camp, June 8th, IH88. .... Ward is away down the Congo sending telegrams to England. Troup has just gone off in the Stnnley^ I fear in a dying state, leaving only liarttelot, honny, and myself to do all the work. Honny lias a frightfully bad hand, whicli prevents his doing anything at all, and the Major's time is entirely taken up with official correspondence, so I liave had a bad timi? of it. I have had to convert nearly 500 loads of 00 l})s. each into loads of 40 lbs. each, and write out all the lists, &c., for the Major. We start the day after to-morrow, and I have had not one atom of time to pack my col- lections, and the steamers are gone. 1 don't know what I shall do. I will try and get Tippu-Tib, who is heie, to take them to Stanley Falls for me, where they may catch one of the Belgian steamers. We have only got 400 men from Tippu-Tib after all his promises to me at Kass(mgo, so we have to leave many of our loads, but are going to do our best to reach the liake, and find out something about Stanley and Emin Pasha. . I do hope we shall be able to get home in about nine months from now. ... It was so sad to see the steamer arrive the other day, and not a letter for me *. I am to do all the advance work of the march; Mr. Bonny will be in the centre, and the Major in the rear The next news you will hear from me will be a tele- gram from Zanzibar, telling you I am just leaving for England. Not one word of news have I had since your letter from Italy of April, a year ago; it is this entire lack of news that makes it so hard to one. And now I must bid you a long good-bye, and may God bless and guard you and our little ones until my return. . * By some inexplicable m
