"The "Wigwam." 



This tent or wigwam, as I term it, is very com- 

 fortable for two persons, with their baggage, and, 

 if required, four can find ample room in it to 

 sleep. Although a man cannot stand upright in 

 my tent (the height being only 5 feet in the cen- 

 tre), without digging out the inside area as in my 

 expeditions I rarely travel with table, chair, or 

 even bedstead I suffer very little inconvenience 

 from the low pitch ; and, on the other hand, I go 

 to sleep with the comfortable assurance in my 

 mind that, although the winds may blow and the 

 rains descend, my home is impervious to both. 

 Mr. Benjamin Edgington, of Duke Street, South- 

 wark, has built me a famous wigwam for Abyssinia, 

 which has all the edges strongly roped, so that it 

 will stand the brunt of any storm.
