promising relief from food shortages and threatened famine. Substantial expanses of greenery now mark the orange-brown landscape; dry ponds and riverbeds are filling; and the animals again have adequate forage and watering holes. Humans, however, must wait another month or two before the millet, now eight or ten inches high, is ready for harvest. And they must pray that the rains do not end prematurely, as they did last year, causing much of the crop to wither before it ripened. Meanwhile, a substantial amount of food aid has arrived from several foreign donors, including the US. (CARE, Catholic Relief Services, Africare, and Helen Keller International are distributing USAID-provided food through food-for-work projects.) Soaring grain prices stabilized and then fell, and it appears that traditional coping strategies – selling off livestock, eating leaves and other "famine food," cutting consumption to one meal per day or less, moving to towns to find temporary work or handouts – will enable everyone except the weakest and most vulnerable to survive until the next harvest. The Strong Brown God
At 2600 miles, the Niger is the tenth longest river in the world. Its existence was known since the time of the ancient Greeks (it was mentioned by Herodotus), yet its course and destination remained a mystery for over 2000 years.

    Park, Mungo 1771-1806, British explorer in Africa, b. Selkirk, Scotland. After serving as a surgeon with the East India Company, he was employed by the African Association to explore the course of the Niger River. Traveling NE from the Gambia River, he reached the Niger at Segu and proceeded 300 mi (483 km) upstream to Bamako. On his return to England he published Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa (1799). He was sent (1805) by the government to trace the Niger to its mouth, but at Bussa he and his party were attacked in their canoes and Park was drowned. See Joseph Thomson, Mungo Park and the River Niger (1890, repr. 1970).

    THE RACE TO TIMBUKTU
    by Richard N. Moersch M.D. Assembly Room, A. K. Smiley Public Library
    SUMMARY
    The decision of a men's discussion society meeting in London in 1788 to promote the investigation and exploration of West Africa was principally one of intellectual curiosity on the part of the members. over the next forty years however, it led to the opening of this enormous and hidden area of the world as well as setting the foundation for the commercial and military domination of this part of Africa by the British and French empires. This was accomplished at little cost to the involved governments but at a terrible price paid by the ill-equipped vainglorious young men sent out by these armchair dilettantes.

    WORKSHOP QUESTION
    In the wide range of reading for this week, find examples that connect with two major themes in 20th century travel writing (both outlined in the notes below): 1) The end of travel
    2) Escapes from modernity General introduction to 20th century travel writing. 'Journey's in' more than 'journey's out'
    The main subject of 20th century travel is the experience of travel as it strikes the consciousness of the traveller, both immediately through the senses, and less directly through reflection. In the 20th century, few parts of the world have not already been visited, written about, photographed and filmed. Modern travel and narratives of travel tend to be 'journeys in' rather than 'journeys out', i.e. they concern the self more than the matter of the world which has already been documented. This is not to say that modern travel writing never describes actual places visited or the practical details of travel, or makes social and political comment on places and peoples - it does this, but the consciousness of the travel writer is usually foremost.

Jedburgh and Melrose offer more to see and do, but this ancient royal burgh can easily occupy a morning of your time. Selkirk was the hometown of the African explorer Mungo Park (1771-1806), whose exploits could have made a great Harrison Ford movie. Park was a doctor, but won fame for exploring the River Niger; he drowned while escaping in a canoe from hostile natives. A statue of him is at the east end of High Street in Mungo Park.

    PARK
    was the cause of a long and bitter controversy, metaphysical rather than doctrinal, with Charles Hodge. Some of Park’s sermons were published in 1885, under the title Discourses on Some Theological Doctrines as Related to the Religious Cliarader. With Austin Phelps and Lowell Mason he prepared Tile Sabbath Hymn Book (1858). See Professor Park and His Pupils (Boston, 1899), a memorial of his 90th birthday, with articles by R. S. Storrs, G. R. W. Scott, Joseph Cook, G. Frederick Wright and others. PARK, MUNGO (1771—1806?), Scottish explorer of the Niger, was born in Selkirkshire, Scotland, on the 20th of September 1771, at Foulshiels on the Yarrow—the farm which his father rented from the duke of Buccleuch. He was the seventh in a family of thirteen. Having received a good education, he was apprenticed’ to a surgeon named Thomas Anderson in Selkirk, and then attended the university of Edinburgh for three sessions (I 789—1791), obtaining the surgical diploma. By his brother-in-law, James Dickson, a botanist of repute, he was introduced to Sir Joseph Banks, then president of the Royal Society, and through his good offices obtained the post of assistant-surgeon on board the “Worcester” East Indiaman. In this capacity he made the voyage in 1792 to Benkulen, in Sumatra, and on his return in 1793 he contributed a description of eight new Sumatran fishes to the Transactions of the Linnean Society. Settling at Foulshiels, Park in August 1799 married a daughter of his old master, Thomas Anderson. Two offers made to him to go to N~w South Wales in some official capacity came to nothing, and in October I8o1 Park removed to Peebles, where he practised as a doctor. In the autumn of 1803 he was invited by the government to lead another expedition to the Niger. Park, who chafed at the hardness and monotony of life at Peebles, accepted the offer, but the starting of the expedition was delayed. Part of the waiting time was occupied in the perfecting of his Arabic—his teacher being Sidi Ambak Bubi, a native of Mogador; whose vagaries both amused and alarmed the people of Peebles. In May 1804 Park went back to Foulshiels, where he made the acquaintance of Sir Walter Scott

    Main News Excerpts Reviews ... Links
    Water Music is my first novel. It was published by Atlantic-Little, Brown in 1981 (though it actually appeared in early January, 1982), and was subsequently published by Penguin in soft cover, now in its 21st edition. This is a wild ride of a book, the one that taught me to follow my imagination, and it consists of 104 chapters, each a story in itself. It was three years in the writing. The back cover of the current Penguin edition has this to say: "Funny, bawdy, full of T.C. Boyle's inimitable flights of imaginative and stylistic fancy, Water Music follows the wild adventures of Ned Rise, thief and whoremaster, and Mungo Park, explorer, through London's seamy gutters and Scotland's scenic highlandsto their grand meeting in the heart of darkest Africa. There they join forces and wend their hilarious way to the source of the Niger." I remember that when the book was half-finished at about 250 pp., both my editor and agent advised me to cut out the Ned Rise story, worrying in concert that the novel was getting out of hand; I assured them that I had a plan and that Ned Rise had to stay. I hope I was right. In any case, I've never looked back.

    The most popular Religious Tract Society novelist of her day, the prolific Hesba Stretton (nee Sarah Smith), often wrote of the desperate wanderings of outcasts in England’s industrial cities. She is most interested in exposing the Empire’s neglect of its most vulnerable citizens at home: children. Often citing parliamentary bluebooks as evidence, Stretton tells the stories of juvenile offenders (In Prison and Out), little girls used as circus performers (An Acrobat’s Girlhood), young factory workers (David Lloyd’s Last Will), the children of drunkards (Her Only Son), child domestic workers (Cassy), and street urchins (Jessica’s First Prayer, Pilgrim Street). Occasionally Stretton focused upon England’s dominions as refuges (or failed refuges) from London or its countryside.

    "they supply the inhabitants of the maritime districts with native iron, sweet-smelling gums, frankincense, and a commodity called shea-toulou , which, literally translated, signifies tree-butter . This commodity is extracted from the kernel of a nut by boiling the nut in water...
    The extract has the consistency and appearance of butter ; and is an admirable substitute for it. It is.an important staple in the food of the natives and therefore the demand for it is great. ...
    The people were everywhere employed in collecting the fruit of the shea trees. These trees grow in great abondance all over this part of Bambarra. They are not planted by the natives, but are found growing naturally in the woods ; and in clearing wood land for cultivation, every tree is cut down but the shea.

    Salak's July 2002 trip was inspired by the journeys of Mungo Park, the 18th-century Scottish explorer who is credited with being the first Westerner to discover the Niger River. Park published an account of his expedition, Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa, in 1799 only to die seven years later during a return trip to the Niger. Reading Park's narrative during her own journey, Salak was struck by how little had changed in the two centuries separating their expeditions. Writer Kira Salak leaves the port of Mopti, Mali.
