Excerpt from Coomassie and Magdala: The Story of Two British Campaigns in Africa Before proceeding to Abyssinia as a Special Correspondent of the 'new York Herald, ' I had been employed for American journals - though very young - in the same capacity, and wit nessed several stirring scenes in our Civil War. I had seen Americans fight; I had seen Indians fight. I was glad to have the Opportunity of seeing how Englishmen fought. In Abys sinia I first saw English soldiers prepared for war. What I think' of them I have written frankly, and without malice. The story of Magdala was written five years ago. The reader will perceive it to be in a fresher style than the story of Coomassie. Much of what I formerly wrote was re-written several times, but the ms. Was still reserved for an'oppor tunity which I hoped would come. I now avail myself of it.

On this our first journey in Abyssinia Proper, and by night too, our thoughts and fancies were anything but agreeable. It was scarcely dark, and we had not been on the road an hour, before we perceived ourselves followed by troops of animals, bounding upright, giving vent to angry snarls, and swiftly flitting past. Shortly, a chorus of unearthly yells broke the solemn stillness of the night, which was caught up and echoed eagerly all around us. Another deep silence prevailed, to be in a short time, however, broken by a savage roar, uttered evidently in our immediate neighbourhood. It gave our party an involuntary start.

The Captain, I remarked, had been riding ahead previous to the sharp cries that preceded the roar, like a man bound to clear the way for the troop behind, couching a large boar-spear in true knightly style; but he had gradually slackened his pace afterwards, until he was riding alongside with me. 'What animal is that, Captain?' As I asked the question my own fugitive presence of mind returned instantly, as if I felt emboldened by my own voice. 'It's a hysena, ' answered that gentleman. 'Is it a dangerous animal?' 'Very, ' was his reply. 'Will it attack us 1' 'No, unless we attack it.' 'But suppose you try his mettle with your spear?' 'No, thank you, ' replied he loftily; 'he is not worthy of my ste
