“The Lil Wife In Africa”

(Editor’s Note: Because so many people have suggested we write some of our African experiences; and because so much is written of big game, and so little of housekeeping near the Equator, the editor’s wife is writing, f rom the diary she kept, about “The Lil Wife in Africa.”) The next morning with all of its cargo except the passenger’s baggage, unloaded on the sand bar and left under the guard of two of the native crew, our boat tried .once more to proceed up stream. The captain had ordered the crew out in the two life boats, carrying one of our heavy anchors in each boat. These wore dropped in the stream ahead of us. They bad

cables attached to them. When lhe [ crew returned to the boat, they rewound these cables, to pull the boat forward to the anchors, with engines straining and doing its best too. Slowly, inch by inch, passengers’ breath by passengers breath, we moved across the shallow water in the sand-clogged channel to safe depth on the other side, with fuel enough left to reach Basongo, our next post. At Basongo, we learned that there were no' boats to take those of us headed that way. up the Kasai River, non to take the ones changing rivers to go up the Sankrau. The hotel there couldn’t accomodate 40 of us, so the captain took us up to Etabo, the end of his line, where he planned to unload things meant for there, and return the next day, with his passengers ,to Basongo. Maybe, in two weeks, we could get a boat from there. Elnbo, whose name has since been changed to Port Arthur, was to be the west terminus of the railroad across the Congo to Elizabethville, when the work was completed in the next two years. They were buliding from both ends ,and had trains running for about 80 miles out of Elabo. We could ride that far, change cars and walk for a few weeks, carrying our numerous trunks. But\hile the boat was being unloade<)Cwe found a Frenchman employed by accompany building homes in Elabo for the coming railroad real estate boom. He could speak English, and in doing so, regretted that his compSny’s work had been held up for\so long, as they w-ere out of in construction. We told him where he could find some of his cement sitting on our sand bar. In the meantime, Frenchy said he had. nothing to do, and would be glad to take us and our luggage on his flivver truck from Elabo to Luebo. We would make that drive on a nigger trail part of the time, and part of the distance we’d drive on the railroad bed to-be. From its 'main post our company had a road built up the 200 miles or so to Luebo, and sents trucks there regularly to meet the airplanes which dropped mail from European boats at Luebo’s landing field. “Cocoanuts” with the Four Marx Bros;, at the Crystal, Ligonier, next Tues., Wed., and Thurs. —adv. —o * TRY A JOURNAL WANT AD
