CAPTAIN HINDE

THE FALL OF THE CONGO ARABS. By Sidney L.

HiNDE. With Portraits and Plans. Demy 8vo. \2s. 6d.

This volume deals with the recent Belgian Expedition to the Upper Congo, which

, developed into a war between the State forces and the Arab slave-raiders in

Central Africa. Two white men only returned alive from the three years' war —

Commandant Dhanis and the writer of this book, Captain Hinde. During the

greater part of the time spent by Captain Hinde in the Congo he was amongst

cannibal races in little-known regions, and, owing to the peculiar circumstances

of his position, was enabled to see a side of native history shown to few Europeans.

The war terminated in the complete defeat of the Arabs, seventy thousand of

/ whom perished during the struggle.
