King M'tesa himself wondered at the story of the making of the well and the finding of the water. He gave orders that he was to be carried to view this great wonder. His eyes rolled with astonishment as he saw it and heard of the wonders that were wrought by the work of men. Yet M'tesa and his men still wondered why any man should work hard.
So I went along it with much suffering, and settled the question." As he did not personally come into contact with M'tesa, the King of Uganda, it is not necessary to do more than mention the fact that this strange monarch wrote a letter to him, and even asked him to plant a stockade for his troops within Uganda territory.
Mackay glanced at it; then he snatched it up and read eagerly a letter which appeared there. It was a new call to Central Africa the call, through Stanley, from King M'tesa of Uganda, that home of massacre and torture. These are some of the words that Stanley wrote: "King M'tesa of Uganda has been asking me about the white man's God.... Oh that some practical missionary would come here.
"King M'tesa is dead!" the cry went out through all the land. The people waited in dread and on tiptoe of eagerness till the new king was selected by the chiefs from the sons of the dead ruler. At last a great cheer went up from the Palace. "M'wanga has eaten Uganda!" they shouted. By this the people meant that M'wanga, a young son of M'tesa only eighteen years old had been made King.
