TRIP IN EAST AFRICA RELATED BY BEEDE IN LETTER TO FRIENDS

B. Willis Beede, Friends missionary in Africa, has sent a letter telling his experiences to the Friends central offices. Mr. Beede was formerly of this city and well known. The letter follows: Malava Station', Kisumu via Mombasa, British East Africa. August 22, 1920. Dear Friend: I have had my first "safari" and think you may be interested in some of the experiences which came to me on the trip. For several weeks word has been coming in from Udombilis people that hippos were In the Nzoia river. (Udombi is chief over one of the districts some 18 miles west of here.) Wednesday another message came telling of the presence of hippos and urging Arthur Chilson to come and shoot them for the people are very fond of hippo flesh. Arthur sent word to Udombi that we would go out if he would send porters for the camp outfit. Wo began to get camp chairs, cots, bedding, mosquito nets, clothing, dishes and food ready for safari. At one o'clock Thursday the boys came and loaded up with the things. Each boy tried to get the lightest load. It was interesting to eee the look of surprise on a boy's face when he found he had misjudged the load and had a heavy one instead of a light one. Each boy put his pack on his head and started down the road to the school house which stands some three miles northwest of Udombl's village. A little later Dr. Bond, Arthur Chilson and I started on motorcycles. We reached the village about 3 o'clock and started on foot over a native trail . for tho river. Up and . down hill, then kaffiicorn and sweet potato gardens, by banana groves, across streams and swamps our winding trail led us. About 4 o'clock a heavy rain which had been forming east of us began to fall. We hurried to a cluster of huts and crawled into one before we were soaked through. In the hut we found four men, one woman with a nursing babe, two chil dren, two calves, an old-Belting heu and several chicks, three cows, firewood, cooking utensils, and a hide used as a bed. The woman was sealed on the ground beside a smouldering fire. The hutiwaa so gloomy that it was eeveral minutes before I could see the woman and her babe. One of the men was smoking an old pipe. After enjoying It for a time he passed it to his neighbor who enjoyed it until the tobacco was all gone. I have noticed that, as a rule, the women smoke more than do the men. When the rain eased up we sallied forth again for the river which was still a good hour's walk away. As the sun was setting we reached the east bank of the Nzoia and got our guns ready for hippo. Then we made our way along the bank watching the river for signs of game. We were doomed to disappointment, however, and had to turn back on account of darkness without sighting a hippo. We were peven miles from our safari outfit, eoaked through with rain and hungry. The long walk back over the winding trails and across marches was not inviting. Finally we decided to spend the night In a nearby hut which was offered to us. As soon as we were inside we stirred up a fire and, incidentally, a lot of smoke which made our eyes burn until we cried. Then we set to work to dry out clothing. While this operation was being carried on the natives kept bringing in eggs until we had 18. They also brought two chickens and several cooked sweet potatoes. We peeled some of the potatoes and ate them. Eleven of the eggs went into a pan of water and were boiled. We had to be careful about eating them for although the people assured us that they had all been laid that day, we were not sure that they were strictly fresh. No discoveries were made, however, and we enjoyed them very much. When our clothing was almost dry we invited the men, women and children who had collected in the hut to nee us, to withdraw so that we might retire for the night. Going to bed proved to be a simple undertaking; all that we did was to stretch out on pome cowhides which had been spread on the ground, and cover our heads with our coats to keep off the mosquitos. The novelty of the experience coupled with the music of the mos-

quitos combined to keep me awake for a long while, and the hardness of the bed kept me from sleeping for long at a time. Dawn was a welcome visitor. For breakfast we had more hen eggs and sweet potatoes. Although no white man had ever slept in the village before, the people were not afraid of us and went about

their daily affairs as usual. Most ofi

the men ?re down along the stream looking for hippos. The children and women sat out in the sunshine for a time to warm themselves. Some ate sweet potatoes for breakfast. Later in the day the women dug cassava and prepared it for cooking. They peeled the bark off, beat the tubers into small pieces with a big 6tone and then spread the pieces on the ground to dry. After leaving them for some time they gathered them up and cooked them with milk. About the middle of the forenoon, word came that we might get sight of the hippos, and so we hurried down to the river only to meet with disappointment. We were assured however, that the beasts would appear at 4 o'clock. About 1:30 p. m. our safari outfit arrived and we had a good meal of fried eggs, potatoes, bread and butter, jam and tea. After dinner we put up our cots, made the beds and hung the mosquito nets. When four o'clock came the rain was falling and so we waited until near five before going to the river. Like the preceding trips, this one was doomed to failure, and we returned to camp without seeing the hippo. After sleeping on a hard dirt floor tl;e camp cots seemed almost like feather beds, and we slept soundly until morning. Breakfast over we sallied forth to the river again. On the way we found hippo tracks but did not see the owners of the tracks. About 10:15 we broke camp and started back for Udombi's village. The trail led us across a number of marshes and streams as well as hills and valleys. . I thoroughly enjoyed the safari and feel that I have a much better understanding of at least one phase of missionary work. We ought to have enough workers at each station so that one man and his wife could spnd practically their entire time in safari. No better way than this can be found to uproot fear, prejudice and superstition. I have been over almost the whole of Arthur C'nilson's district and am deeply impressed with the work which has been done and with the tremendous opportunity for advance work. Fifteen schools have been established in strategic centers. The population is gradually shifting this way so that within the next few years there will be many more people here than at present. The tribes have been gradually shifting toward the Nandi escarpment. Now that the Nandl escarpment acts as a boundary to the reserve the people will have to mass up where we are located and gradually roll back again. The country is rich In soil and wood and will support a much greater population. I should like to go into the details of Chilson's work but he will be leaving here soon and can tell you better than I can. He has a great vision for a civilized and Christianized people. Cordially vours. B. WILLIS BEEDE.

That I was astonished and happy is expressing my state of mind mildly. Obviously, the hair roots had not been dead, but were dormant ia the scalp, awaiting the fertilizing potency of the mysterious pomade. I negotiated for and rame into possession of tho principle for preparing this mysterious elixir, now called Kotalko, and later had th recipe put into practical form by a chemist.

I American Legion

Raymond J. Saunders, late lieutenant in the United States Air Service, 94th Aero Squadron, was last seen by his comrades on October 22, 1918, when he was engaging in combat twelve enemy planes over Breullis, France, about fifteen miles northwest of Verdun. After a lapse of two years his friends and relatives are again trying to get definite word of his fate, and the American Legion Weekly, cooperating with The Palladium, is trying to aid in clearing up the mystery. If any reader has any information about the death or burial of Lieutenant Saunders, he should communicate with Homer Key, Box 116, Iloldenville, Okla. This is one of many war mysteries that are still uncleared. Hundreds of men, not all of whom served in the front lines, suddenly ceased all communication with their relatives. Sometimes the war department said they were dead or "missing in action." But they have dropped out of sight. Are they victims of aphasia and do they wander in strange places, unaware of even their own names? It is believed that in every case there is at least some one person who can clear up the mystery. It is in, this hope that The Palladium in conjunction wwith the American Legion Weekly, is printing the records of missing men.
