FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. Sil ‘consider it would be a shameful act on my part were I to desert them. They are, notwithstanding all their hardships, brave and good, with the exception of the Hgyptians. We have known each other many years, and I do not think it would be easy at present for a stranger to take up my work and to win at once the confidence of the people. It is therefore out of the question for me to leave, so I shall remain. All we would ask England to do, is to bring about a better understanding with Uganda, and to provide us with a free and safe way to the coast. This is all we want. Lvacuate our territory? Certainly not!
