Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V Royalty joins the American Mission--A steer the measure of greatness--Night journey across Mount Asabot--The only elephant--A fantasia. The boy-King asked permission to accompany us to Derebella the next morning, and in a moment of weakness not only was he permitted to do so, but was provided with a mule.

The superior alone may say 'thee' and 'thou, ' and rarely to others than servants. At Derebella we camped a long distance from the wells, and had barely sufficient water..
