in 1892, and re-interred with great solemnity at 

 Kampala. Mwanga, who was responsible for tlic 

 murder, attended the second burial, Decemlter 31, 

 190-2. 



Captain Ra}'m()nd Portal is also buried here, and the 

 officers Thruston, Wilson, and Scott, who were murdered 

 l:>y the Soudanese mutineers in cold blood, 1897. 



The view from the summit of the hill on which 

 the cathedral stands is very fine. From the west 

 end may be seen the tomb of Mutesa, and the hill 

 on which Stanley was encamped in 1875. The path- 

 way, or track, leading from Stanley's camping ground 

 to Mutesa's residence is pointed out to visitors. 



The road leading from the cathedral passes the large 

 native hospital in which Drs. J. H. Cook and A. R. Cook

 requirements of modern surgery. The organisation 

 of tlie place is excellent, and testifies to the zeal and 

 energy of the capable stafl' connected with it. 



A short distance from the hosj^ital is the native 

 market, and we wei'e greatly amused with the quaint 

 things offered for sale. Dried fish from the lake 

 resembling sprats ; pieces of the paunch of a sheep 

 carefully folded up with a small piece of soft fat. It 

 was a matter of surprise to see kaurie shells in heaps, 

 but whether as a means of exchange, or on sale for 

 ornamental purposes, I could not ascertain. Metallic 

 ornaments for native use were abundant and betrayed 

 their Western origin, for some were made in Birmingham 

 and others came from Germany. 



In the middle of the market-jjlace we found a boy 

 busily engaged in removing "jiggers" from the sole of 

 an old man with a safety pin. The native boys are 

 very expert in extracting these pests. 



Here we had excellent opportunities for studying 

 bark-cloth, for the manufacture of this material is quite 

 an art in Uganda. The bark is obtained from a species
