Receiving an African King. Coldthwaite’s Geographical Magazine.

While resting at Dem Belrir, Dr Junker was surprised with the King Ndoruma, the much feared A-Zandeh potentate, was 'on his way to thecamp. I’ho king's arrival was much earlier than had been anticipated. It was a great diplomatic event for Dr. Junor's little band, for they were to take up their residence shortly in Ndoruma’s capital, the pleasantness of their surroundings there would depend largely on the impression first made on the autocrat himself. So,in all haste, the negro attendants tad porters were thrust into their heterogeneous uniforms. Every negro appeared for the important ceremonial in a gaily colored shirt, cotton overalls and a Turkish fez. AH carried guns and stood shoulder to shoulder as the king approached. Ndoruma, too, was in his regimentals. ‘‘He had for the occasion encased his long muscular legs in a pair of perilously pld and tight carmine trousers that had once been the property of an hussar. The trousers were too short both at the top and bottom. The seams cracked and gave every time he moved, so that he could neither walk nor sit without exciting the gravest apprehension. His coat was no better. It was au Arab garment for a small man, and although Ndoruma had forced his arras into the splitting sleeves, he could net bring ti e garment together, so that tn front, from his crown to the abbreviated waist of his trousers, he was quite bare, ”Dr. J unker talked over his plans with the king till evening, entertained him with books and music, and, as it grew late, gave an illumination and concert for his amusement. The negro boys circled about with paper lanterns, disguised themselves with curious masks of all sorts to the terror of Ndoruma’s less courageous attendants, and finally took turns at the crank of a German handorgan that sent out into the African wlldefrncss the familiar strains of “The Watch on the Rhine,” Ndoruma was highly deligeted with all this, especially with the hand-organ, and bade Dr. Junker au revoir nest day, with profuse assurances of good will and generous deeds in the future.
