Mr. Morgan repeats the account we have heard from Mr. Stanley and Mr. Johnston, that 5000 miles of navigable rivers are accessible from Stanley Pool. The difficulties that would beset philanthropists, missionaries, travellers, and merchants in gaining the navigable part of the river were remarked upon by Mr. Waller, and Mr. H. H. Johnston in reference to the so-called liberal terms at present in vogue in Mozambique, said, those who knew anything of Mozambique would think that the terms were rather illiteral than otherwise. He, therefore, thought it a very unfortunate thing if Portugal was allowed to occupy Landana and Banana (at the mouth of the Congo), the two points which would affect the Congo in the future. It is important to put this Opinion Of Mr. Johnston clearly forward, -, for he has been sup posed to be an advocate, or at least an apologist, for the treaty. We shall refer to his views again.

Passenger number three was a colored man, and a native of Gaboon, which is a French possession. He claimed to be a son of the late king of Gaboon, and when asked his name, promptly gave it as Prince Makaga Ndinga.

The fourth passenger was a French gentle man, Monsieur de Haut, bound for Libreville, Gaboon. He was a chemist, a lover of natural history, and fond of hunting. Whenever we passed a school of porpoises, he fired excitedly, frequentlv missing, but sometimes wounding the harmless, playful creatures. \vhen, in the Calabar River, he fired at a shark, I was pleased when he tried to hit a crocodile, I was glad; but whv kill or wound the porpoise? \vhenever we passed them, they gave us a free entertainment, dis porting themselves around our steamer, and leaped, or swam, or dived, as though for our especial amuse ment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Adventures in the Congo I started the next day well by having a tussle with the stewardess, who did not want to bring me a cup of coffee. She told me that servants' breakfast was served at however, after a Short but wordy war, I got my coffee. During the day I asked Miss X if I might take my meals with the passengers, pointing out that as I was a first-class passenger it seemed a pity not to have the benefit thereof. To this she agreed, on condition that I sat with the children during their meals, which was no hardship, as they were both charming little folk. After lunching with the passengers a steward told me that the purser wished to see me. When I got to his room he seemed greatly surprised at my appear ance, asked me to sit down, and then told me how the other maids were jealous because I did not take my meals with them. He was easier to deal with than the stewardess, and, squeezing my hand, said, Whenever you want anything, come to me. This was very gratifying.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of the Expedition to the Congo, 1903-5 The reports Of the Congo Expedition which are contained in this volume embody the results Of the most important pieces Of work in progress at the time Of the much deplored death Of the head of our Expedition. It is impossible to tell how much the friend in him was regretted; how much the leader was missed. Our loss was great and the work of the Expedition suffered severely. Dr. Dutton had been my companion through three years Of constant work on trypanosomiasis. Knew each other's ideas most thoroughly and since the work was continued after his death, along the lines we had planned out together, I feel justified in ascribing to him joint authorship in these reports. May the way in which his name is used be remembered, and weakness in presentation of our results be recognised as mine and not considered in any wise as a fault Of my absent comrade. Sincere gratitude is due from our school to every person in an Official position with whom our Expedition came in contact during its two years' absence from England. The Compagnie Belge Maritime furnished free passages to and from the Congo. During the voyages, at Sierra I eone and at Boma its agents rendered every aid in their power. It is quite impossible to sufficiently express our indebtedness to the Congo Free State Government and to its representatives. From highest to lowest, each Official did all in his power to ensure the success Of our work. What success we have obtained is largely due to their intelligent sympathy and generous co-operation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tramps Round the Mountains of the Moon: And Through the Back Gate of the Congo State It is always a keenly interesting occupation to be engaged in answering keen questioners, and it is in the hope that it may prove of interest to many such questioners that this book has been written. Questions which have thus been asked as to the Customs Of the people and their religious ideas, the prospects of the country and its future development and so forth, I have endeavoured to answer in the course of the narrative rather than by devoting separate chapters to them. In describing the Tramps I fear that there has been a more frequent use Of the first person singular than one would have wished, but in telling much that was personal it has seemed inevitable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Congo: Or Jasper's Experience in Command IN the preceding volume of these Story-books we saw how Jasper learned to obey. In this you will see how he learned to command. Every boy who desires to become an energetic and efficient man must be taught both of these arts. He must learn to obey, or he will never acquire any proper habits of self-control, and can never become an agreeable or useful associate with others in those great enterprises which can only be undertaken by com binations of men and he can not direct advantageously the labors of others in such departments as may be committed to his charge unless he also knows how to command. You may perhaps think that, however difficult it may be to obey, it is always an easy thing to command, but you will learn from this story that there is an art in that as well as in other things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This penetrating examination of a paradox of colonial rule shows how the massive transfers of technology--including equipment, techniques, and experts--from the European imperial powers to their colonies in Asia and Africa resulted not in industrialization but in underdevelopment. Examining the most important technologies--shipping and railways, telegraphs and wireless, urban water supply and sewage disposal, economic botany and plantation agriculture, irrigation, and mining and metallurgy--Headrick provides a new perspective on colonial economic history and reopens the debate on the roots of Asian and African underdevelopment.
