Slave Dealing.
In a letter dated from the western shore of the Albert Nyanza, Emm Pasha recounts once more some of the horrors of slave hunting : — " During my match to the Albert Nyanzjjpfi I saw and heard fearful things. NqP followed the track of one of these robbers, named Ben Chalia, for sik days, and in that time counted 51 fresh corpses worn to skeletons 89 of them with their skulls beaten in If I had only arrived here eight days sooner, my good people would have succeeded in preventing or punishing such inhaman cruelties. About 1200 slaves. 20 or 30 of both sexes chained all together, are said to have been dragged to Mengo. Twenty-seven of them, among them four women, met „ us half starved. They had succeeded * in escaping."
