At first to be a Frenchman ; but as he tells you a Scotch anec- dote in true Glasgowwegian dialect, you make up your mind that he must be, as his face indicates, a countryman from the north. His command of his mother-tongue being imperfect, he apologises for his broken, hesitating speech, by informing you that he has not spoken your language for nearly sixteen years ; and then he tells you, as best a modest yet earnest man can, concerning his travels. In doing this hi leaves out all about his p...ersonal sufferings, just remarking that he intends to save those anecdotes for his 'garrulous dotage. ' Much of what he says he has already, of course, writ- ten in his journals, and of some circumstances he has before told at other places ; but he is one from whom you could hear 284 DK. The same thing more than three times. His narrative is not very connected, and his manner is awkward, excepting once when he justifies his enthusiasm, and once when he graphi- cally describes the great cataract of Central Africa.
