With our minds filled with Mr. Jephson’s extraordinary revelations of what has been going on in the Province since the closing of the Nile route, beholding the Pasha here before my very eyes, who was lately supposed to have several thousands of people under him, but now without any important following, and bearing in mind the ‘cajoling’ and ‘wiles’ by which we were to be entrapped, I ask you, would we be wise in extending the time of delay beyond the date fixed, that is, the 10th of April?” The officers one after another replied in the negative. “There, Pasha,” I said, “you have your answer. We march on the 10th of April.” The Pasha then asked if we could “in our conscience acquit him of having abandoned his people,” supposing they had not arrived by the 10th of April. We replied, “Most certainly.” _March 27th_.--The couriers have left to embark for Wadelai. They bore the following: Notice to Selim Bey and the Rebel Officers. Camp at Kavalli, _March 26th_, 1889. “Salaams,--The Commander of the Relief Expedition having promised to grant a reasonable time for the arrival of such people at this camp as were desirous to quit the country, notifies Selim Bey and his brother officers that this is the 30th day since they departed from the Nyanza Camp for Wadelai to assemble their people. “The ‘reasonable time’ promised to them has expired to-day. “However, as the Pasha has requested an extension of time, it is hereby notified to all concerned that the Expedition will make a further halt at this camp of fourteen days from this date, or, in other words, that the Expedition will positively commence the march toward Zanzibar on the morning of the TENTH OF APRIL next. All those people not arriving by that date must abide the consequences of their absence on the day of our departure. “HENRY M. STANLEY.” Notice to Shukri Agha, Commanding Mswa. “The Commander of the Relief Expedition hereby announces to the good and loyal officer Shukri Agha, that in order to allow him sufficient time to reach this camp, the Expedition will make a further halt of fourteen days from this date, at this camp, but that on the morning of the tenth day of April next, no matter who or who may not be ready to march on that date, positively no further delay will be granted. “The Commander of the Expedition, out of sincere affection for Shukri Agha, begs that he will take this last notice into his earnest consideration, and act accordingly, “HENRY M. STANLEY.” CHAPTER XXVI. WE START HOMEWARD FOR ZANZIBAR.
