But I must give a short account of my personal relations with King Mtesa, as his "Court Physician, " during my three months' stay in Uganda.On the day after our arrival a goodly number of people, of both sexes and of all ages, began to crowd round our compound to obtain a sight of the new arrivals, and the broad well-kept streets were lined with a noisy gesticulating crowd, all curious and eager for a good look at the white men.
