Excerpt from My Apingi Kingdom: With Life in the Great Sahara, and Sketches of the Chase of the Ostrich, Hyena, &C After th scenes I have described to you in the pre ceding volumes, and by which you saw with what degree of superstition the people looked upon me, I need not tell you that I was the most powerful man in the coun try. The superstitious natives thought me to be a mighty spirit. Their king I was, and they respected me, and it was my aim to deserve their respect and love. I remem bered the good precepts my mother had tried to teach me in my boyhood. I cultivated with them truthfulness' and kindness of heart. I took care of their sick, I loved their children, I prevented their women from being beaten; I made them fsel they could rely upon my word, so that when I promised a thing would be done they knew it would be done. I was firm at the same time. I had to be politic, and there were customs and superstitions which I dis liked, but which I knew time and education alone could destroy.
