MAN ROBERT PORAN wWflfBL msh ""•• *$£. -^.v"* i *&%y • ~ BSP$y$ -.' iSSfef" £'V -* . v WO years ago. or * little more, all Eu­ rope was electrified by the news that Africa had been traversed by Lieut. Paul Graet* of the German army In an automobile. Hl» thrilling adventures on, this daring and plucky expedition are of too recent occurrence to have been entirely forgotten. , To have crossed Africa, in. m auto­ mobile Is no mean boast, wfcen one remembers that there are no roads and no repair or gasoline supply stores en route. The Cape-to-Calro railway--that great dream of a truly great empire builder, Cecil Rhodes 1b test nearing completion; and in a year, or perhaps a little more, travel­ ers may journey in luxurious com­ fort by train and steamer from Cape Town to Alexandria. Tbey who do this will be able then to realise to the fullest possible extent what the pioneers of travel in the African hin­ terland had to contend with. One would think tfcat to bring to a successful termination such a gi­ gantic feat as that which Lieutenant Graetz set himself in his .famous Af­ rican automobile expedition would be sufficient to satisfy even the most gluttonous appetite for adventure. Yet It Is typical of Lieutenant Graets that he should not rest content with this ONS truly great achievement , His project, undertaken 09 behalf 0t the African World, was to cross {be great and practically unknown re- glgoi of Central Africa from the In- to the Atlantic ocean, by way of the Zambesi river, Lake Bang­ weolo, and the Congo river. How­ ever, not by automobile this time, but by motor boat. This offered some­ thing unique in the way of African travel. It meant hardships and dis­ appointments innumerable, but what of that? He mapped out a route that would take him from Quilimane, the port on the coast of Portuguese East Africa, to the mysterious Lake Bangweolo, by way of the River Quaqua, Lacer- 4onla, River Shire, Port Herald, Chl- coana. Fort Johnstone, Lake Nyassa, Karonga, and then across the water­ shed to Fife. The motor-boat was specially prepared for this part of the journey, being fitted with wheels for •ae on land. From Fife he decided to travel by Way of the Chambesl river, Kablnga, thus arrive at the shores of the small inland sea. Lake Bangweolo, upon which no white man had ever sailed. After spending some time ex­ ploring this unknown water and (col­ lecting specimens of aquatic and land life, Oraetz planned to ptmh on' to the Atlantic by way of the Luapula, Lake Iferu. Paula, Kasengo, Lukongzolva. Kiambi, Stanleyville, Coquillhatville, Yambi and Leopoldville, and thus to tbe mouth of the Congo. Take up a map of Africa and trace •at this route tor yourself, and you nay realize in part what this stupen- 4tms journey of BIX thousand miles {allowing for the necessarily tortuous route to be followed) meant to Lieu­ tenant Graetz and hiB companion, the French cinematograph operator, Mon- aleur Octave Flere. /.Graetz had heard of the magic Take Bangweolo from the Awemba tribe. It had a sinister reputation a}nong'tbe native tfibes resident both Upar and far. from its shores. The Awemba people told him that Bang­ weolo was' studded with islands, on ifefch wfere to be found colossal elfe- phants and gigantic giraffes, while on & ' its waters swam huge, sea-serpents ;rl and other strange creatures. From . * the surface of the lake hot springs rose and fell like fountains in the air; and pestilential winds, sweeping across the reedy marshes, carried 4|eath to all living ^edngs. : C": No health resort thlf;- -rather Xante's Inferno! No natives ventur- teg upon its waters in their frail, ' 'fantastically shaped canoes had ever seturned. It was regarded by some tribes as a sort of Hades, where de­ parted souls .suffered continually the most dreadful torments; while others again thought that It was the ap­ proach to Paradise, where the spirits of their dead relatives enjoyed per- • feet life under the protection of their fDdt. It was known to be surrounded by thick and Impenetrable rushes, mak­ ing its exploration a matter of great difficulty. The great prize which Oraetz hoped to secure. In addition to £;> • being the first explorer of this won- (v' derful lake set deep In the heart of tbe wilds 'of Africa, was specimens of i " a species of gigantic buffalo, which were commonly believed by the na- , ttves to make their home on the shores of the lake. They were known to be unusually fierce and dangerous, • but this did not deter Graetz and his iplucky companion from their adven- ? tprous quest after them. Lieutenant Graetz left Berlin on 'fcebruary 25, 1911, accompanied ' by Flere and his motor-launch, the Sarot- Xi. tl. Elaborate arrangements were w, . made at Quilimane tor their, plunge t f /feto the wilderness. - - ; f f a H w a 8 r e a d y . f o r t h e s t a r t SAKE STRANGE USE OF GOLf and the two explorers set forth on their adventurous journey. Mile by mile they made their way up the Qua­ qua, Shire, and so to Lake Nyassa. We will pass lightly over this sec­ tion of the great journey, for It was similar to many another African trip trip by boat on river and lake. But once they had reached Karonga thelf real difficulties commenced. The motor-launch had to be pushed on its wheels across the watershed by the so-called Stevenson road--which Is no road at all in the generally accepted meaning of the word--to Fife and thence to the Chambesl river, so that Lake Bangweolo might eventually be reached. Where obstructions impeded progress--and there were countless numbers of such places--they had to be overcome. Trees had to be felled, streams bridged, hifls climbed, and bush cleared from the self-made path. After days and days of toil in ter­ rific tropical heat, the voyagers reach­ ed the banks of the Chambesl river and again took to the water courses. This part of the trip was full of dan­ gers, unexpected and entirely impos­ sible to guard against All went well with them until they had nearly reached the shores of the mysterious Lake Bangweolo. Then disaster, dire and dreadful, overtook them. Within sight of their goal they were overcome by a cruel, relentless fate. • At dawn on September third, the blood-red morning sun triumphantly rose over the summit of the dark chain of the Muchemwa mountains, bathiag all nature in its, glorious beauty. It bade them rise and con­ tinue their journey down the Cham­ besl to the lafce, their, long-hoped-for destination At six-thirty the two white men em­ barked, and a few minutes later the African servants were rowing lustily up the Chambesl toward Bangweolo, for whenever possible they saved their gasoline and rowed. Moreover,' there were many shallow channels to be negotiated and these were the more easily navigated without use of the motor. For a time nothing unusual hap­ pened. There was no sign of life beyond occasional birds along the river banks. At last a convenient place to land and partake of break­ fast was found, and the two men ran the launch into the bank. The cook and servants busily stirred them­ selves to prepare the delayed meal. But suddenly they stood petrified with astonishment. Not more ' than fifty paces from than, close to the river bank, stood three mighty buf­ falo, watching them with wondering eyes! They had appeared so silently through the undergrowth and .reeds that no one had had warning qt their approach. These were no ordinary buffalo. They were gigantic and sug­ gestive of prehistoric types. Silence, deep and impressive, like that silence which foreshadows death, reigned for a brief moment. Then Lieutenant Graetz awoke to the dan­ ger that threatened them. With the almost automatic precision of the ad­ venturer in savage lands, he unslung his rifle. The Frenchman, - Flere, fol­ lowed his example. Graetz fired the moment his cheek rested along the butt of his Mauser rifle and the sights came on. Bang! the shot rang out, awakening the bird life and echoing through the trees beyond them and then faintly back again. The leading buffalo stumbled and fell on his knees, rose again, shook his ponder­ ous head in mingled anger and pain, and then, dashing up the river bank, galloped from sight into the bushes. The other two followed their wound­ ed brother's example. Meanwhile Flere stood ready to flrd in case of necessity, but there was no further need now. Intermittently through the undergrowth the two men caught glimpses of {he buffaloes' shaggy forms as they followed the course of the stream toward the lake. But presently they saw but two of them. What had become of the third, they asked themselves. They were not out of danger yet, apparently. Perhaps the third animal still kept company with his fellows but was hidden by the bushes; more likely still, he had left them---the surest possible sign that he was severely wounded. Good! They would get him yet "Bos cafter Graetzil" would read well in museum records and zoological books, thought Graetz to himself. The decision to follow and kill the wounded giant was quickly reached. Breakfast was forgotten. Leaving the cook and two of the native followers to clear away the untasted meal and pack the motor-launch ready for a re­ newed start, Graetz and Flere hast­ ened off on the trail of the buffalo. It was not hard to follow. Large smears of blood were to be seen everywhere, on bushes, on rocks, on the bare soil, and against trees it showed plainly. The spoor led up the bank of the Chambesl and headed undoubtedly for the shelter of Lake Bangweolo. Hour after hour went by and still thd two hunters keipt steadily track­ ing the beast. The sun climbed high into the heavens until It was directly overhead, scorching everything and everyone with its fiery rays. But the white men and their followers thought little of that. They were pos­ sessed hy an hint for the blood, of this new mammoth of the African jungles, ^esiddfe,' tsatll they had killed, tjfcey could not rest and eat; their sporting instincts would not permit this until ail hope of success was lost The true sportsman never deserts a wounded jguairy until he h a s k i l l e d I t ' . . At last, after six hours of fruitless search, nature demanded a temporary halt. It was after midday. Graetz decided to have the motor-launch brought up to them and a man was sent back to get It. In the mean­ time the two white m«n rested. In three-hours the launch reached-them and the cook immediately began to prepare a satisfying lunch for the tired and famished hunters. Break­ fast and lunch would have to be merged Into one meal. ThiS Ik not an infrequent occurrence in African travel, and the two mea w^reaccus- tomed to it. ' While the meal was under prepara­ tion, Graetz sent three of the "boys" .to search further for the wounded buffalo, for he was positive that it must be somewhere in their vicinity. He offered his followers a liberal "bakshish" and with this incentive to a speedy location of the buffalo, they ^hastened off into the bush. Break­ fast and lunch was just about to be served when the "boys" came run­ ning baOk to announce that they had found the wounded buffalo lying In thi long grass near the rivejv So much good luck had been' hoped for, but hardly expected. Graets and Flere rose excjltedly to their feet and got their rifles. "They were only just in time, for at that moment th$ high grass parted right in front of the former, and the ani­ mal dashed out, making straight for the German! He fired, and at the same time Flere fired also, so; that the two rifle reports sounded as one. Graetz sprang to one side to escape the furious charge of the maddened animal. As he did so, his foot caught in the long grass and be fell on his knees. It proved his salvation. ' If he had remained upright he would- have been Impaled upon the sharp and cruel points of the buffalo's -wide- sweeping horns. •7rr;" Snorting with extreme fury, the huge beast nosed under the lieuten­ ant, who waa^now lying prostrate on the ground, trying to toss him. At last Graetz sprang to his feet and ,clung with all his strength to the horns of the beast, in the vain hope that, severely wounded as the buffalo was, he might give way before his own . strength, or that Flere might get a chance for a second shot. For a few brief minutes, which seemed hours to Graetz, man and beast pitted their strength against each other's. The huge denizen of the forests was .rapidly tiring from loss of blood, but Graetz was no match for the strength of the enormous beast. It all hap­ pened In a few minutes; the buffalo tried to shake the man off. and, as he flung his shaggy head from side to side, the point of his left horn pierced its way deep Into Graetz's right cheek. He cried out with pain and then felt himself suddenly hurled up­ ward Into the air and consciousness left him. In the meantime, Flere had come gallantly to his companion's rescue, unmindful of his own danger. He fired, but succeeded only in making the buffalo more infuriated. The sav­ age beast turned rapidly upon him and tossed him repeatedly into the air, tearing his/ body dreadfully. Then, as if worn out with its ter­ rific efforts to avenge the attack on Itself, the buffalo toppled oVor dead beside the bodies of "its foes. In a recent letter Graetz himself best, describe* what happened next. His account is a graphic, yet simply worded,, narrative of heroic resource­ fulness. In my travels In Africa I have met two men--Col. Eric Smith of the Horse Guards, and Mr. Ben­ jamin Eastwood, the chief accountant of the Uganda railway--who have actually amputated their own arms when dire necessity demanded it, but I can conceive of nothing more cour-< ageous than Lieutenant Graetz's own self-accomplished surgery. Far from medical aid, with his companion. In misfortune gored to the point of death, suffering indescribable, agony, Graetz acted expeditiously and saved his own life by his ready courage. In- the days when anesthetics were an unknown quantity, men and wom­ en had perforce to bear all manner of operations with remarkable forti­ tude. But we were a hardier race then. Civilization has weakened our bodies and we are unable to endure pain as did our forefathers. Tet to ^be able to amputate an arm or sew up terrible wounds for oneself is a thing that was rarely done in the past ages. In Africa, it Is not an uncommon thing. It seems only fitting that, in'a country where the natives themselves bear pain with stoical indifference, the white man, who exists safely only by his own proof of being a superior 'being, should show the same wonder- bravery. "I awoke,". writes Graets, when suf­ ficiently recovered to put pen to pa­ per, ."covered with blood. .1 was lylpi an the river bank, with the motor boat >t my feet, supported fey ***< howling native servants. -'J" '"Where is Flere?* I asked. " The others are bringing himj t*a will die soon, too/ they replied. " 'And the buffalo? * 'Dead,' was the laconic reply. "A thick flood of blood was contin­ ually flowing from my mouth and the right side of my face. The nativ<Mr lifted me Into the boat, and with- every moment the blood flowed taster. "'Quick,' I managed to gasp, 'tlio medicine chest!' "They brought it to me. There was only one thing to do an<T that* qufcWy. Sew", sew, sew! Terrible necessity taught me how to ply the surgical needle. With a native holding my sLaving-mirror before me and a sotusr supporting me by the shoulders, I thrust the needle through the flesh. A jagged, Irregular hole as large as my hand gaped in my right cheek; my.under lip hung loosely quivering. Under the horrified ga*e of the na­ tives I jabbed the bent needle again and again int6 my flesh and cobbled the tattered ends together. "The pain was excruciating. Heav­ en alone helped me to keep my senses. To this day I do not know how I managed to do it. The lower jaw was broken in two places--near the ear and near the lip--and from this crushed mass a long splinter of bone with three teeth attached hung loosely by the nerves and flesh of the gums. Tho whole outer flesh of the lower jaw was scraped loose. Teeth, roots and bones lay white and shim­ mering through the hole in my cheek. My tongue, pierced by the point of the buffaloes horn, was half torn from its foundations. I spat contin­ uously splinters of bone and teeth. "At last the operation was finished to the best of my ability, and I ban­ daged by face as best I knew how. A strong stimulant gave me new life and helped me to face -the other sur­ gical operation for Flere. "In the meantime the tent had been erected and a bed prepared for my poor companion. Atom whom James, the cook, had already cut the clothes with a pair of scissors. He had re­ covered consciousness, and softly his pale lips formed the words, 'tres mauvais' (very bad). He had been pierced and tossed three times. The left hreast muscle hung' loose; heart and lungs were untouched. In the left side, between heart and hip, was a great tear. This wound I imme­ diately sewed together. James wash­ ed, bandaged and put Flere to bed. He breathed regularly, and seemed to sleep. "Night fell dark and dismal--a night full of pain, during which raj mouth- seemed full of red-hot 'stones. Toward morning a short, troubled sleep gave me temporary relief frouf my awful agony. With the gray light of dawn I awoke to fresh tortures. Everything was deadly still. I sum­ moned the servants by clapping' my hands and they opened the tent door. Then I arose and crossed over to Fiere's bed. The first light of day fell on a pale, shrunken face. It was death." So, on the very threshhold of suc­ cess, one was taken and the other left, a shattered wreck. Far from all aid and alone . with his native ser­ vants, Lieutenant Graetz faced the situation as only a man of his cali­ ber could. One of the natives was dispatched at once to Kasama, in northeastern Rhodesia, to Bummon help. This was the nearest point in­ habited by white men. Dr. G. F. Randall, the district sun geon, and Mr. Cookson, the magls< trate of Kasama, marched day and night for two days to his relief. Hastily further operations were per­ formed under the most difficult cir­ cumstances. And then, on an im­ provised stretcher, Graetz was car­ ried to Kasama. One can imagine the painful journey, a journey ren­ dered all the more pitiful because of the loss of his trusted assistant. The relief party buried poor Fiere at Charenama, but later his body will be brought to Kasama and re-interred there by the white fathers of the Catholic mission. To most men this disastrous set­ back would prove an insurmountable hindrance to the completion of the program; but with Lieutenant Graetz it was different. He has started again and will continue his journey until it is completed or until death claims fcim. He Intends to reach the mojjth of the Congo by the end of the year. A man of superlative grit, who flinches from no dangers and who knows not what the words fear and defeat mean! He is entitled to a place In history beside Livingstone, Stanley, Gordon and the others, yet probably he will be forgotten except by those who fully appreciate all he has achieved for science. When we head at the end of the year that he has traversed the dark continent from east to west, we shall know that he has done what he said he \vould do, despite the diffl eultie» in his path. Shall we all recognize what this means? Some may--those who, perchance, have done similar deeds, or those who know the African continent and all Its lurking dangers. Do not forget that lonely, mangled form lying be­ neath the earth In far away Kasama. Tou, who have never heard of such a place--and by far the greater majoi^ ity have not---may draw out your map of Africa and search it minutely for the name, and yet not find it. But there in the wilds of northeastern Rhodesia lies the body of th«t other man who was striving with might and -main to finish. the work he had set out to do--to cross Africa by motor- launch.

COOLER CLOTHES FOR BABY Ons of the Problems That the Warmer Weather Puts Forward to Young Mother. When the warm summer months confront us the young mother begins to think about cool clothes for baby, and not the least important of the ar­ ticles required fqf the wardrobe Is the loose coat to be worn over the long dress, for baby dare not be exposed to draughts at any time. The needlework shops are showing an attractive variety of long coats made of crepe de chine or albatross. These can be copied with little dl% Acuity. Purchase a kimono pattern for a baby in long clothes and stamp the border with scallops. Down the fronts and across the sleeves stamp a dainty flower design; either forget-me-nots, rose buds or ^violets are suitable White silk of a fine quality should bV used to embroider the flowers. First paft the petals, using white darning cotton for the purpose. Make the padding stitches the length of the petals and cover them with silk, mak­ ing the stitches at right angles with the padding. Buttonhole the scallops with heavier twisted silk, padding them first with the darning cotton. Tie the fronts together with white ribbon an inch in width. If desired, these dainty coats can be lined with a light quantity of china silk, but they are more frequently unlined for summer use. If you haven't a little one of your own, make a dainty coat for a tiny friead or relative. It is fascinating work, as the soft materials are easy to work with. erish spells, nervous­ ness and bloating; I bad been married nearly three years.

The beauty specialists ask their cus­ tomers sometimes whether they change their veils frequently and have them cleaned, just as they would other items of their attire, and when the answer Is in the negative, they explain that veils are dust and germ collectors, and should really be changed very often. The white veil gets a bath frequently* for It shows soil so readily that there Is no evading it, but every one does not know that other veils need ablutions now ftnd then. The veil should be squeezed in soap suds several times and rinsed in two waters, using a little blueing in the last rinsing for black or blue veil­ ings. Then a little cold starch should be mixed, in the proportion of a tea- Green and Bright Colors* Not only in millinery are the bright­ est of colors to be seen, but also for gowns for home and street wear.
