CAPTURED BY AFRICAN SAVAGES 277 



On arriving at Nimule, Barrett found, as he 

 had expected, that most of his porters had ar- 

 rived safely. They had found the bodies of 

 two of their companions in the brush and had 

 spread a report that he also had been killed. 

 Twelve of his men never returned and un- 

 doubtedly were killed by the savages.
