Up Against It in Nigeria 



By LANGA-LANGA 



Demy $t>o. 24 Pages of Illustrations iSt.net. 



In " Up Against It in Nigeria " the author, avoiding religiously the 

 well-worn themes of tribal marks, pagan music, geographical features, 

 and other platitudinous matter, throws open his store of thirteen years' 

 experience as a Political Officer, and introduces the reader personally 

 by name to the toilers, official and commercial, who have faced the 

 despondencies, the dangers, and the changing fortunes of an Administra- 

 tion which only attained its twenty-first birthday on January 1st of this 

 year. (The simple obituary footnotes are in themselves a gruesome 

 commentary on the terrible human toll levied by the climate.) 



With cynical, but entirely friendly pen, Langa-Langa sketches scenes 

 on trek, on " safari," on patrol, in Court, and — not least exciting — on 

 s.s. Falaba when, at five minutes' notice, she was incontinently dis- 

 patched to the bottom of St. George's Channel. 



Adventures in Swaziland 



By OWEN ROWE O'NEIL 

 Medium Spo. Profusely Illustrated ids. net. 



The author of this thrilling and picturesque narrative was, with his 

 companion, the only white man ever initiated into the Swazi tribe, a 

 savage people who, under the leadership of old King Buno, were a con- 

 stant menace to the surrounding Boer villages. How the old queen 

 refused to give up her throne, how a civil war was precipitated, and how 

 Sebuza, the crown prince, won a great victory and assumed his rightful 

 kingship over Swaziland, completes a story that for imaginative quality 

 and vivid power rivals anything out of the Arabian Nights.
