A PICNIC PARTY IN WILDEST 

 AFRICA. 



a Sfcetcb of a "Counter's Crip to some of tbe TUnftnown Waters 

 ot tbe tapper Bile. 



By C. W. L. BULPETT. 

 Demy Svo. With Illustrations and Map. 125. 6d. n2t. 



The object of the expedition described in this book was to survey 

 the Musha and Boma plateaux, which lie between the River Akobo 

 and Lake Rudolph. It was organized by Mr. W. N. McMillan, an 

 experienced American traveller, and was remarkably successful, 

 though the fact that one of the caravans marched thirty-eight days 

 on half-rations, largely through a country flooded by incessant rain, 

 shows that the excursion was very far from being altogether a picnic. 

 Mount Ungwala and a peak near Mount Naita were ascended, and 

 hundreds of square miles of previously unexplored country were 

 surveyed and mapped. The accounts of the abundance of game 

 will make the sportsman's mouth water. 



A considerable amount of the description of scenery and life on the 

 Nile and Sobat is extracted from the journal of Mrs. McMillan, who 

 accompanied her husband. Many of the illustrations are from 

 drawings made on the spot by Mr. Jessen, cartographer of the 

 expedition.

In the course of a prolonged residence at Zanzibar as consular 

 representative of Germany, Dr. Erode became intimately acquainted 

 with the celebrated adventurer Tippoo Tib, and succeeded m 

 inducing him to write the story of his life. This he did, in Swaheh, 

 using Arabic characters, which Dr. Erode transcribed for translation 

 into German. The material thus supplied by Tippoo Tib has been 

 expanded by Dr. Erode into a remarkable picture of Africa before 

 and during its transition into the hands of the white man.
