PERILS OF THE NIGHT IN THE Bai visu CAMP AT SUAKIM, i /, re n D ! Te leyraph). Scuppered” is a word which Ll had never mot with til Ieame to Suakim, ' and its horrible significance is a new} experience to British troops. To be “scuppered” means here to be hacked to pieces in your tent while asleep.
How the Hadendowas ( Arabs) do it no-| body but themselves cao tell, but night} alter night they come into the middle} of our camp, and hack ai tew soldiers, and go out agaio seathles: Crawling along on all fours, traverse thespace between them their victims with all the patient cau- tion of w ld beast. stalking prey. They reached the doomed tent. For the sake of the sea breeze the doorway is open, and the nextinstant the murderer is standing by the sleeping soldier's side He fee sa hand passing over his body and starts. <A cryis rising tohis Mps.

Slashing this way and that,the murderers stab and hack with the fury of fiends, and thea as the camp Starts to its feet in clamour they are off. Not a sound betrays their passing. There is no trace of blood to tell of retribution.
They are gone—back to their villiin-
ous gullies, back into the scattered brush ; and next we canimagine them
silting to refresh themselves outside our line of redoubts—to listen gleefully to che storm they have raised—the bugles telling the taleof murder com- pleted and the murderers gone,the aim- less volleys of rifles, the din of voices, the important utterances of our indige nant guus roaring out an impossible vengeance, “MURDER |” “MURDER !”
I heard the word ring out last night from the Ordnance camp, and then came a cry—the bitter cry of a mano suddenly overtaken by tho agony of
death. A shot, and then another and another. Then a confusion of muffled sounds. Then silence. 1 was only 400
yards away. The night had been so still that the water lapping on the quay was plainly audable where I lay. Pre- sently came this brief uproar of alarm, subsiding as it had risen. Signals were flashing overhead.
A partey of Hadendowas crept straight across the

Behind them

Of the whole of the occupants of the tents—twenty-four in all—only two es- caped their speers and swords, while the murderers retreated apparently un- harmed. As they went back rifles were wildly emptied after them, and the Carysfort fired volleys into the dark. But there was no trace of blood. In- side the tents the sight was dreadful— blood everywhere, and men iying ab- out in all directions wounded and groan- lng. if
