A COFFEE  PLANTER  ON  NYASSALAND 
SiK, — As  Britis’n  Central  Africa  seems  to  interest  your 
readers,  I venture  to  give  you  a few  of  my  experiences 
in  this  country. 
On  my  arrival  at  Chiiide,  I was  informed  of  the  s:d 
news  of  Mr.  John  Buchanan’s  death,  which  occured 
a few  days  before  my  arrival.  As  one  of  the  oldest 
and  most  respected  residents  in  the  country,  it  seemed 
to  cast  a gloom  over  the  whole  place.  Fortunately 
there  was  a special  boat  leaving  the  next  day  for 
katungas’  which  is  the  terminal  station  of  the  river 
journey 
Our  voyage  up  the  river  1 must  confess  was  very 
monotonous.  The  scenery  of  the  Zambesi  is  by  no 
means  picturesque.  Beyond  seeing  large  numbers  of 
beautiful  water-fowl  tliere  is  a sameness  about  every- 
thing which  one  soon  gets  wearied  of  The  heat  was 
intense,  the  thermometer  standing  at  100°  fahr,  ia 
the  shade,  and  our  saloon,  which  w^s  something  resemb- 
ling a third-class  i-ail — way  CHrriage  in  Ceylon,  made 
it  almost  unbearable.  But  one  of  the  chief  annoyance 
was  the  continual  flight  of  sparks  from  the  engines 
which  prevented  us  sitting  outside  when  it  grew  cool’ 
and  most  of  our  coats  at  the  end  of  the  journey  were 
only  fit  to  be  given  to  the  niggers.  P’or  the  trip  up 
the  river  one  is  charged  £13,  and,  considering  we 
only  took  five  days,  it  seems  to  me  to  be  most  exorbit  mt 
us  everything  on  board  was  bad.  I reached  Blantyre 
on  March  29th  and  the  change  to  a higher  climate 
was  indeed  most  enjoyable’ 
Blantyre  is  a pretty  little  place,  and  I should  say 
fairly  heatlhy.  although  many  instances  have  occurred 
to  prove  the  reverse.  Until  quite  recently  Blantyre 
has  been  practically  only  a Mission  Station,  but 
commerce  and  the  development  of  the  country  are 
fast  making  the  place  into  a commercial  town,  and 
I tliink  it  is  only  a matter  of  time  before  the 
missionaries  retire  to  a more  savage  and  wilder 
part  wl  ere  their  energies  may  be  appreciated, 
I was  sorry  to  hear  before  leaving  Blantyre  that 
the  Commissioner  was  in  the  doctor’s  hands  with 
Blackwater  fever;  this  seems  to  ba  the  dreaded  di- 
sease out  here,  and  from  all  accounts  seems 
very  prevalent  and  from  my  exper.ence  it  appears 
t)  1 ave  a worse  name  here  than  on  the  West 
Coast  of  Africa.  I left  Blantyre,  for  Mlanji  at 
the  eiid  of  March,  and  stayed  a short  time  with 
niy  friend  Mr.  Crabbe  The  Mlanji  climate  although 
it  bears  a good  name,  evidently  does  not  agree  with 
him,  for  during  my  stay  ho  had  repeated  attacks 
of  fever,  which  he  attributes  to  t e turning  over  the  soil 
whilst  cutting  holes.  He  has  already  cleared  100  aci-es 
of  land’  and  is  making  preparations  to  build  a brick 
house,  as  the  present  one  is  only  a grass  hut,  and 
has  but  three  small  rooms.  There  are  few  comforts
