NEW AFRICAN EXPEDITION.
THROUGH COUNTRY UNKNOWN TO MAN.
TO SEARCH FOR A SPECIES OF ANTELOPE.
Three British sportsmen are embarking for Africa shortly in search of a new kind of antelope, the Black Lechwe,_ and with every anticipation of securing a distinct species of red Congo buffalo and the Situtunga, another very rare animal of the antelope breed. These sportsmen are Earl Kingston, the well-known Irish sportsman; Captain R.-D. Waterhouse, late of the 6th Dragoon Guards; and Mr. J. E. Hughes, the latter of whom will have charge of the party, and who, it may be mentioned, has spent the last ten years of his life north of the Zambesi—eight years as Native Commissioner and .the last two as representative of the Rhodesian Native Labor Bureau.
“This expedition of : ours,” # Mr. Hughes said in a,n interview, “Fill be through country practically unknown to the white man.”
