Among the many deaths of brillian soldiers in the hard-fought Ashante'j campaign was that of Captain Benson, of the Shropshire Regiment, who was killed in the attack on the town of Ejesu. His men deserted him at the critical moment, and that was what he feared, as will be seen by the following extract from a letter of the deceased officer, written at New Jabin. He wrote :—

" 1 have been up here for nearly six weeks on the most hopeless task that any man was ever set. I was told to raise native levies— nothing more— and

Mahe, which is seventeen miles in length, and from four to seven across, enjoys the distinction, only in a lesser degree than the Aldabra Islands in the vicinity, of being the home of the gigantic land tortoise, of which so many examples may be seen just now at Regent's Park, brought from the islands mentioned at the instance of the Hon.angloboerwar.comWalter Rothschild, M.P. What the quondam bloodthirsty ruler at Coomassie will think of these huge creatures, should any happen to cross his path, remains £0 be seen, but it is highly probable that as the whole of his life up to the present has been spent in West Africa, he will view them with much the same feeling of alarm as overtakes the Indian traveller who finds himself confronted for the first time in his life with a gigantic land crab. Should he develop a taste for the soup made from these ponderous reptiles, he may ultimately become qualified for an aldermanic position.

The central path of these hurricanes can be followed on the chart by the line of small crosses, although they vary sometimes.

All West India hurricanes have their origin to the east of the Wind- ward Islands, at the inner edge of the trade wind zone, or region of calms, where the overheated air rises and Hows away in the upper current in a direction contrary to the trade wind. The ascending current of heated air produces a whirlwind similar to that caused by forest fires, and it is no doubt the cool trade wind blowing steadily from the north-eastangloboerwar.comthat heads the hurricane off in that direction, and sends it sweeping slowly to the north- west along the chain of islands to the northern coast ol Florida.
