ies, which clung to their uneducated natures, were the source of great trouble; though there were brave virtues in most of them, which atoned for much that appeared incorrigible. Wellington is reported to have said that he never knew a good-tempered man in India; and Sydney Smith thought that sweetness of temper was impossible in a very cold or a very hot climate. With such authorities it is somewhat bold, perhaps, to disagree; but after experiences of Livingstone, Pocock, Swinburne, Surgeon Parke, and other white men, one must not take these remarks too literally. As for my black followers, no quality was so conspicuous and unvarying as good-temper; and I think that, since I had more occasion to praise my black followers than blame them, even I must surely take credit for being more often good-tempered than bad; and besides, I felt great compassion for them. How often the verse in the Psalms recurred to me: Like as a father pitieth his own children ! It was on my first exped

ies, commanded by Stairs, Nelson, Jephson, and Parke. The pioneers consisted of select men who werhment, to collect the sick at Ipoto, under Surgeon Parke and Captain Nelson. On his return, he wasaptain Nelson, and, accompanied by Jephson and Parke, I departed, a second time, to the Nyanza; butis condition immediately became critical. Surgeon Parke, who attended to him for the first three w in 1887, had almost made an end of Nelson and Parke. This man he succeeded in securing as guide ts fresh from reading, not Stanley's story, but Parke's. Auckland, February 24th, 1892. my dear Stave been reading the Journal of your surgeon, Mr. Parke.

of a person who, it appeared, would, on the whole, have preferred not to be rescued! The journey from the Ocean to the Nile, and from the Nile to the East Coast, added much to geographical knowledge, and was the complement of Stanley's previous discoveries. But the cost was heavy, and the leader himself emerged with his health seriously impaired by the tremendous strain of those dark months. Most of his younger companions preceded him to the grave. Stanley survived Nelson, Stairs, and Parke, as well as Barttelot and Jameson; but the traces of the journey were upon him to the end, and no doubt they shortened his days. Those days — that is to say, the fourteen years that were left to him after he returned to England in the spring of 1890--were, however, full of activity, and, one may hope, of content. No other great task of exploration and administration was tendered; and perhaps, if offered, it could not have been accepted. But Stanley found plenty of occupation. He wrote,

enabled him to go through with the ceremony. We went straight to Melchet Court, lent to us for our honeymoon by Louisa, Lady Ashburton. Stanley's officer, Surgeon Parke, accompanied us, and together we nursed Stanley back to health. Stanley's Journal contains the following passage:-- Saturday, 12th July, 1890. Being with full time for calm reflection, for all are gone on some party of pleasure. I have occupied my morning in following your sufferings and trials as recorded in Parke's Experiences in Equatorial Africa. After reading, with the greatest pleasure, pages 512, 513, and 514, these have set me reflecting upon what you have done for tled, undecorated, but with a feeling that all has taken place for the best. I had wished to write to you on several points. I was much struck by a statement in Parke's journal, that at one point it only took fifteen minutes to walk from the headwaters of the Nile to those of the Congo. The Aruwimi branch of the Congo — D.

er 27, 1893.--D. S. November 20th, 1893. This year has been fatal to my friends: Mackinnon, Parke, and now my best friend, Alexander Low Bruce. A. L. Bruce married Livingstone's daughter Agnes the severest blow I have yet received. Bruce was more of my own age than either Mackinnon, or Parke, and it is perhaps owing in a measure to that fact, that his views of men and affairs were more elonged to an older generation, and was the centre of many interests in which I had no concern. Parke again was of a younger generation, and with all his sweet, simple nature I found it difficult tocise of his developed faculties. He was originally of a stronger fibre than either Mackinnon or Parke, i. e., from the common-sense point of view. He might not have the bold, business audacity of Mity of medicine, shaken through every nerve by awful experiences, yet here I am! and Bruce, and Parke, and Mackinnon, are gone; I write this to-day as sound, apparently, as when I started on my wand
