l ; and, though he was not of a yielding disposition, uncle consented at last. In strict justice, however, to his character, I must admit that, had circumstances been equal to his deserving, his nephew would never have been permitted to leave England with his consent; for, according to him, there was no place in all the world like England.

Sail was loosened, and our ship was drawn towards the ocean, and, as she headed for the sea, the sailors, with rousing choruses, hoisted topsails, and sheeted them home.

. Asaph, and but two months and a half since I had entered the world outside my family. Since I became a man, I have often wondered what would have become of me had my melting mood that last night at Roscommon Street lasted a little longer. It was the turning-point of my life, I am disposed to think, and it was good for me to have had the courage to say No, at that critical moment. A trifle more perseverance, on the part of Uncle Tom, would have overcome my inclination for departure from England, and made me a fixture within his own class. On that occasion my weakly, half-hearted negative served me to good purpose; but I should have been spared many trials had I been educated to utter my Noes more often, more loudly, and more firmly than I have; and I suppose most men have had cause to condemn that unsatisfactory education which sent them into the world so imperfectly equipped for moral resistance. In my opinion, the courage to deliver a proper No ought to be cultivated as soon

hood, was elicited with the assistance of his searching questions, and then I was, as it were, turned completely inside out. Mr. Stanley said that what I had told him only bore out the conclusion he had long before arrived at concerning me. He had suspected that I was an orphan, or one who had been flatly disowned, and a waif exposed to every wind of Chance; and he was glad that it had deposited me in his keeping. He expressed amazement that helpless children were treated so unfeelingly in England, and marvelled that no one cared to claim them. Being a childless man, he and his wife had often prayed for the blessing of offspring, until they were wearied with desiring and expecting. Then they had gone to the Faubourg St. Mary, and had visited the Infant Asylum, with the view of adopting some unclaimed child; but they had made no choice, from over-fastidiousness. It much surprised him that none of my relations had discovered in me what had struck him and Speake. Had he searched New

om Madrid in search of the rebellious Carlists, who were said to have risen at Santa Cruz de Campescu. As soon as I reached the old town of Vittoria, I took my seat in the diligence for Santa Cruz de Campescu; our road lay westward towards the Atlantic through the valley of Zadora. If you have read Napier's Battles of the Peninsula, you can well imagine how interesting each spot, each foot of ground, was to me. This valley was a battle-field, where the armed legions of Portugal, Spain, and England, matched themselves against Joseph Buonaparte's French Army. At Santa Cruz, Stanley found the insurrectionists had fled to the mountains, leaving forty prisoners; he returned to Madrid, to join General Sickles and his suite, on a visit to the Palace of La Granja, called the Cloud Palace of the King of Spain. He hears in Madrid, one evening, that several battalions and regiments had been despatched towards Saragossa. Naturally I wanted to know what was going on there. What did the de

Think of us a few weeks later, arrived at Zanzibar, where we make our final preparations for han by the circumnavigation of the lake, or lakes. For that purpose I had brought with me from England, in sections, a cedar boat, forty feet long, and six feet beam. Of course, all my people kner's faces; they had suddenly become blank-faced mutes. You see the beautiful boat, made in England, safe as a ship, swift as a sea-bird. We shall stow plenty of chop; we will lie lazily down onthe words of the Holy Book green in their hearts, until the arrival of a Christian mission from England.

g political possibilities which the new country offered to England. With scarcely a breathing-space, he threw himself into, or seem to listen. But the Government and the people of England turned a deaf ear. Stanley was, by some, called Quixotis. But he had other reasons, in his strong preference for England as his supporting power. After half a year of ill-successy kept in touch with the project. But again he urged upon England that she should take the lead; and, again, in vain.

I was recalled by cable; and on Christmas Eve, 1886, I was back in England. Forthwith came appeals to me from the brave and adventurous any Pool. As far as that everything prospered. We had started from England with the good wishes of all concerned; and even the French Press, tate of darkness and woe in which it has too long remained. In England there arose bitter controversies over stories of misdoings by somean heroic feat. Let me put it to you from my point of view. Great Britain, in pursuit of a great object, had, through the proper authoritdencies were cut off from intercourse with the external world. Great Britain determined to rescue her officers, and undertook to do so by ths controlled by his judgement. When a young white officer quits England for the first time, to lead blacks, he has got to learn and unleareave behind something that had gathered, in the artificial life of England, over his true self, and he now walked free, and unencumbered, hig
