Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Ascent of the Kasaļ: Being Some Records of Service Under the Lone Star
AT a time when so many narratives of African travel, adventure, and discovery are before the reading world, the appearance of a new volume, which must be classed with works of that description, undoubtedly demands some few words of apology and introduction.
It is necessary, therefore, for me to explain that the following narrative, forming, in point of fact, a monograph on the bashilange-baluba nation, is the record of my later experiences in the service of the Congo State: a service which I had entered shortly before the a.i.a. Obtained full political recognition in its consolidated form as the Free State of the Congo.
