Genial Paul du Chaillu.

Perhaps the only llying explorer who is equally familiar with the dark places of equatorial Africa and the “land of the midnight sun” Is M. Paul du ChaJllu. The mysterious fascination of the “dark continent” lured him from an East African counting house when he was quite a young man, and he was away four years, returning with a live gorilla as a trophy. Then he went far north, and his fascination of manner and kindness of heart won him hundreds of friends.
