Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. xii, 342 pages, 8 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations, maps ; 21 cm ; OCLC 5593443 ; Bound in red cloth. Pictorial front cover and spine stamped in gold. All edges colored olive green; George Herbert (1866-1958) and Charles James L'Estrange (1867-1947), two English writers who worked together on several children's adventure books, wrote under the pen name Herbert Strang. ; "Samba lay face downwards upon the yellow sand, amid which his body shone in the sunlight like polished ebony. Behind, the rising bank was thick with trees and shrubs ablaze with colour, overspread with the delicate tracery of lianas and, creeping plants. Here was a spot of red, there a dash of orange; at intervals the pale yellow flowers of climbing gourds and the mauve blossoms of convolvuli peeped from the wall of vivid green. Tiny rills made music as they trickled through the foliage; and near at hand was a path trodden by herds of antelopes as they came to drink." ; "Nearly a generation has passed since King Leopold was entrusted by the great Powers with the sovereignty of the Congo Free State. The conscience of Christendom had been shocked by the stories, brought back by Stanley and other travellers, of Arab slave raids on the Upper Congo; King Leopold, coming forward with the strongest assurances of philanthropic motive, was welcomed as the champion of the negro, who should bring peace and the highest blessings of civilization to the vast territory thus placed under his sway. For many succeeding years it was supposed that this work of deliverance, of regeneration, was being prosecuted with all diligence; the power of the slave traders was broken, towns were built, roads made, railways opened-none of the outward signs of material progress were wanting.the civilized world has been horrified to find that this imposing structure has been cemented with the life blood of the Congo races; that the material improvements to which the administrator of Congoland can point, have been purchased by an appalling amount of suffering inflicted upon the hapless negoes. The collection of rubber, on which the whole fabric of Congo finance rests, involces a disregard of liberty, and indifference to suffering, a destruction of human life, almost inconceivable. Those who best know the country estimate that the populationis annually reduced, under King Leopold's rule, by at least a hundred thousand. No great war, no famine, no pestilence in the world's history has been so merciless a scourge as civilization in Congoland." ; Contents: The Coming of the White Man -- "Rubber is Death" -- Monsieur Elbel -- Night Alarms -- The Order of Merit -- Samba is Missing -- Blood Brothers -- Jack in Command -- Samba Meets the Little Men -- A Trip with a Crocodile -- Bula Matadi Comes to Ilola -- Samba comes Back -- "Honour thy Father and thy Mother" -- Lokolobolo's First Fight -- A Revolt at Ilola -- The House by the Water -- A Buffalo Hunt -- Elbel's Barrels -- Breaking the Blockade - David and Goliath -- A Dash and all Together -- A Message and a Meeting -- Elbel Squares Accounts -- A Solemn Charge -- A Break for Liberty -- Turning the Tables -- The Return of Lokolobolo -- The Chicotte -- Reaping the Whirlwind -- Sinews of War -- Summons and Surrender -- The Dawn of Freedom -- Conclusion ; front endpaper excised ; dig at top of spine ; else G.
