Many years ago the explorer saved her from savagery and took her from Africa to Ne.v York, where she entered service, married, and became Mrs Stansbury. She has grown from girlhood to womanhood since Sir H. M. Stanley, the first white man she. ever saw, gave her her first knowledge of civilisation, but the explorer has not forgotten her. “Your letters give me greater pleasure than does anything on earth,” Sir Henry wrote to her not long ago from London, “for I cannot read them without remembering how, in the recesses of the Dark Continent, 1 discovered a latent quality which is noyv a shining mark in civilisation.
