Holiday to Shoot Big Game on the East Coast and Was Captured by Blacks--Fought the Native Ruler and Got Throne by a Strange Ac | cident--Wives Too Many for Him. | Biranger adventure than that which befe]l an Englishman on the East Coast of Africa is seldom met with outside the realms of fiction. While hunting in the jungle he fell asleep, was brought before a tribal king, fought that potentate, became ruler because of the attachment for hi 1 of a sacred monkey, and entered into full royal possession, including the dusky harem. His ruld was of short duration, for, according to his own account, the "sixteen wives" practically henpecked him off the throne. is escape also makes thrill- | ing reading. | he story of Mr. Hugh Edward Gilhespie is told by The Manchester Dispatch. Mr. Gillespie is a native of Newcastle, who, after serving an apprenticeship at Hawthorns, entered | the service of the Prince Line nine | years ago, and at the time of his ad- | venture was, as he still is, second engineer on the Royal Prince, and | had long nourished the desire to have | some big game shooting. At Mombassa he obtained the neces. sary leave, and, with a guide, set out for the jungle. Coming on the trail of elands, they followed it up until the tracks became stronger. The guide suggested their separating so as to come on the game from two sides, and this was done. ' Alone, Gilhespie fo¥lowed the trail until he felt he was either lost or in danger of it, whereupon he tried to get his guide by shouting, but no an- swer came. Tired, weak and hungry, he sat down to contemplate the situa- tion, but fell asleep. i He was roughly awakened by a | namber of natives, who took posses- sion of his rifle and revolver, and marched him to their village and be- i fore their king. The natives kow-towed to their mon- arch, and tried to make the English- man do the same. This he refused to do, and, as they persisted, he lost his temper and struck out with such cffect that three of the natives were on the ground. The king, evidently incensed at the treatment of his men, made a blind rush for Gilhespie. As he came on with his head down, like a mad bull, | Gilhespie stepped aside and deliver- od a telling blow which laid him on the ground. No fewer than six times did the savage make similar bull-like rushes, each time to receive exactly the same felling blows. Then he tried close quarters, and for fully half an hour the two fought, wrgstled, and wriggled on the ground, getting a blow in when the op- At last Gilhespie €ac portunity offered. delivered the "knock-out," and while | he was recovering his breath and generally pulling himself together the etrangest thing happened. A little monkey, which had been ¢itting at the side of the throne, ran to Gilhespie and climbed on his ehoulder. The natives prostrated themselves face down on the ground and gave utterance to weird eries. i The rest of the story is best told in Mr. Gilhespie's own words, - "An old chap, with a big staff, the head carved in the shape of a strange bird, came towards me and kow-tow- ed. Then he pointed to me and mo- tioned towards the throme. I then \ began to realize that I was chosen to be their king. I walked towards the throne, and the natives chanted a 'weird heathen song. When 1 sat dowq, with the monkey still on my shoulder, they cheered so loud that they brought the king back to con- sciousness, He took a good look at end fled madly into the fyrest. 5 "I was duly made king by the chief medicine m I soon learned how it all came about.

For the new knight, in his flurry and agita- tion, is so likely to do strange or un- suitable things in the presence of roy- alty that the amusing tales about him have become legion to the general with the "lads" public. Of the really true ones, however, the following aré some of the best. Who can forget the confretemips which oc- curred when Queen Victoria was about to knight a certain prominent citizen of Leamington, a man whose name remains enshrined to-day in the town as one of ite most benefactors? "But, just as the Queen was mbout to knight pe £0 agitated did he become that he forgot what ought to be done. He rose too soon, and left the room, turn- ing His back on hér all the way, and not actually knowing: but that the ceremony was over! Néedless to say he was never really knighted at all, and right to the day of his death Leamington felt much aggrieved at the mishap. Then was there pot that occasion when Mr. John Thomas, of Bucking. ham, was 'included in the birthds honors? Mr. Thomas, who is a known paper manufacturer, was om a knight. But the similarity of name (together with no mention of town) to that of the famous musician who was for so long the royal harp- ist, led many people to a very prob- able error, and Mr. John Thomas, the fine Welsh harper, received more than 1.000 congratulatory messages from friends far and near who took him to Pe the lucky and worthy recipient of the King's favor It falls t6 the lot of few men to be twice knighted! In fact only once within our own .generation has such a thing happened. Some score years or 80 ago the then Lord Herschel went to Windsor to be invested by Queen Victoria with the Grand Cross of the Bath. On those occasions the Queen was very rapid in her movements, and his lordship, having sunk on one knee had grasped the error and could inter. fere, Her Majesty touched him with the sword and gave him the honor of knighthood! She herself overlooked the fact that she had actually knight ed him only two years previously. The celebrated war correspondent of The London Times, Mr. W. H. Rus- sell, had a physical frame nearly as small as his mind was large. Hence "his familiar friends used commonly {to call him "Little Billee"; and ene | of the best and most valued of such {friends was his late Majesty, King Edward. Very touching and delightful was | the scene when Sir William Howard Russell came forward to be knighted by the sovereign whom he had known 50 long and served so faithfully, and | whose steps as a young man he had guided over the battlefields of the Crimean War when the then Prince of Wales visited that interesting spot. The famous journalist's small frame and physical infirmities would have | made it a trial for him to 'kneel down I before the King. The kind heart of Edward VII. grasped his at once, as the knight in embryo came forward. "Dont trouble to kneel, Billie! Stoop!" whispered the monarch with a sweet smile. Russell's eves filled at this kindly thought of his King and friend. He | "stooped," the sovereign touched his i shoulder very lightly, and then said {just a word "in congratulation, & the | mew knight, will full beart, affectiou- {ately kissed the royal hand. Few Premiers have ever been mote cynical than was Disraeli, afterwards Lord Beaconsfield. The Right Hon. | George Wyndham, who knew him j well, relates how on one occasion Dis- iraell was much pestered by a well | known politician to bestow a knight hood on a friend who much desired it. "Tell your friend that the source of honor in this coun is a fountain, {mot a pump!" was Beaconsfield's la- iconic answer, Boys In Parliament.
