About three ta,b-les from the door sat a man with a biack moustache. He was a handsome lellow, with a .arm j&w and keen eyes, and was well dressed. He was in earnest conver- sation with another man at the table, when he happened to glanee np and see hag- g,ird ía.ee pressed against the pane.

LOST IN A DESERT I
LOST IN A DESERT I Starving Motorists' Pent CHAUFFEUR DRINKS PETROL Oae of the most extraordinary motor-?a-r  journeys on record is a.ppT<Mching comple- tion. Jjieutenant. GTaetz, who left Dar?es- Sa.Iaa.m, in German East Africa, in August, 1907, has T'eM:"hM Crerman Sou.th-West Africa, after more than nineteen months' I)ersi,.tent toil throtb,-h the heart of the Da-rk Continent. He is now in aig'h.t of his goal-th.e port of a serieos of adventures, the last of which, th& crossing- of the Kalahari Desei't, he descri-bes beJ.ow. Im the c,u,rse of a letter published in the "Daily Mail" laeu;tenamt Graetz says:— We have t&ken 62 days to cross the Ka,Ia' ha,ri Desert from PaJapye Ro-ad, Be'ch.uajia- lian d. The nrst 50*) lailes were covered fairly easily, despite bottomless morasses and knee- deep sand. Then the sand became so heavy that our car oouJd only by going backwards—we had to ru<n ba<A: on ouj- tracks to gather impetus for every foot for- ward. Twice the steering gear broke. In the primeval Pottletle Forest we set up asmithy and welded the broken piijiar. while Hona and hippopotami inf'ested our ca.mp. Sand beset us again near the P'<ytt!etle Ten times we tried to rush the drifting ma'-a. but our diS'erential pinio-n broke. Fortu- nately, we had a epa.re one. These delays Brought Us to Straits for Food In spite of my care in sending petrol supplies ahead, gnawing ajixiety lest they should fail beset me. Return Wtas impCk'"1S'Îble. It must be on into the unknown. Two of my depots were discovered buried deep by the stages that ma-rked the spot with thei-r metal placards The drums were fu'M. But I bad not enough. With seventy litres of petrol in the tank I reached the third depot at the Pot'ttetle River. The drums were em'pty. My die was oast. The 'bellowing of oattie sounded in my ea.rs. I traced ,the sound to a camp of natives, and oTerawing them secured six oxen, 'not yet completely broken in, to p'ull my car. Night amd day we advanced, alternately trekkjng two hou.rs aind restimg two. :!w.urs, amd rIDâking two milea an hour. On February 13 .1 reached Toting- Ngami Lake. The petrol drums again were empty. Tihe guide, the Ca.pe boy, and the cattle boy refused to move a step further. Our food was &nished. Ornly by working on their super- stitiors fca.rs could I p.'reva.il on the boya to go on. No wafter was to be see.n on the south eide cf the lake, on;Iy a mass of reeds on a bottom of bog- stretching out to the horizon. We had to turn Btra'igttt ifnto th-e bush. and then we r lost ouir way. Though we knew the lake was near, our I Cape boy was lost for a. day a<nd a night .hunting for dri-nkd,ng water. In hds agony of thiMt Gould, the c'h.a'un'eur, I Sucked Up what Petrol He Cou!d Find A violent fever attacked him, and for four days the lay bctweem life and deafth. When the crisis was over, he was placed in the car as weak as a babe. At length we reached our tpetrol depots at 'Chamsi. The drums were ffuU. We sent back the oxen.. We had long ago eaten)- the last of our Sour, and four days tha<t we etopred to re-place a broken Ta,lve we lived cfn txitt&r melons that ga/ve us ago-nising etoonach oram<p. When we atatrted ajga.i.n we drove n,ight e)n,cl,d,a.y, taking tuTme in ele'epimg. Suddenly one night we found one of the water pipes leaking and the magneto under water. Just at that moment a. dog barked. We found a Boer farm; where we gof milk, bread, and butter—indescribable luxuries. With a store of provisions we struggled on next day, the magneto becoming weaker and weaker till it was useless. But we had attained our nrst goal. The German flag nuttered before our eyes from the tower of I the fort of North Bietfontedn on March 13. G-erman hoMemen rode out to greet us. The &rst crossing of tihe Ka,!aJia.ri Deaer-t by motor-car was a<co<Mnp'lished.
