I was then carried back to my camp at Kisoona, where I was received by a great crowd of people. The hour of deliverance Triumphal entry into Gondokoro Home-bound The plague breaks out Our welcome at Khartoum to civilization. The hour of deliverance from our long sojourn in Central Africa was at hand. It was the month of February, and the boats would be at Gondokoro.
Above all, we should not worry uselessly about the future, which is in the hands of the gods and beyond our control. Such were the convictions of the majority of thoughtful pagans.

Ashly Crane was henceforth known among Pussy Comstock's girls during their sojourn in London.
