Tippo Tib had promised 600 men. and st.'■•res were also to arrive shortly after Mr Stanley's departure : bat me Arab- chiefs proved disloyal. and noc -xtly withheld the promise! mem bat forbade the natives to sell f<»i. .and even broke up Maier BarirceLoc’s >.*an<:es. In May. 1888. Major Btffiekc disheartened bv she past weary m« nchs of waiting. succeeded in -> braining from Tip:* • Tib 400 men. .-and ro-«n-v -fenced hi* march after Stanley, about whose face he was extremely anxi*xx>. as no certain information. had reached him. only vague rumours of death and disease. Many of the Major's people died ».f actual starvation. but he pushed forward oa June 11th. too late to he of any a.*dscar.ce to Stanley.
