ASHANTI
A TERRIBLE JOURNEY. Bepeivod July 16, 9.30 a. Hi, London, July 15. Details received regarding the escape of Sir Frederick Hodgson (Governor of tbe Gold Coast) and party from the besieged town of Eumassi show that the expedition accomplished a marvellous feat. Food supplies ran short, and the carriers were so weakened by hunger that they were compelled to abandon their burdens, the party being obliged to live on plantains. On one occasion the company waded for two hours in water shoulder high.
