Esteban Loaiza and Carl Everett, two players who weren't on a lot of baseball radar screens during the winter, found out Sunday they would be "hosting" one of the biggest events of the baseball season.
Right-hander Loaiza, who rose from rotation hopeful to ace of the staff with a superb first half, and Carl Everett, another player whose career has been rejuvenated this season, will represent the host Chicago White Sox at the 74th All-Star Game to be played July 15 at U.S. Cellular Field.
"I'm really thrilled, I really just don't know what to say," Loaiza said Sunday. "It means a lot for me, it means a lot for this organization, and it means a lot for a lot of my family. ... I'm still in shock because I'm going to the All-Star Game. Even during the game I was telling some of the guys, 'I don't believe it', and I don't believe it. Dreams can come true."
Loaiza is 11-4 with a league-leading 2.24 ERA. He was 9-10 with a 5.71 ERA for Toronto last season before signing a one-year $500,000 free agent contract with the White Sox. American League Manager Mike Scioscia hasn't announced who will start yet, but Loaiza has to be considered a leading candidate for the honor.
"If I get a chance to start, it will be a lot more exciting for me and a lot more exciting for the fans in Chicago, and also for this team and for my family and everybody else that knows me," Loaiza said.
Loaiza will be making his first appearance on an All-Star team.
Everett, hitting .270 with 18 homers and 51 RBIs, was acquired from Texas earlier this week. He began the season not knowing what his role would be after coming off an injury-shortened year and with a new manager in Texas in Buck Showalter. Like Loaiza, Everett has been paying huge dividends for the team that showed faith in him.
"It's nice to pick up a guy that's an All-Star, there's no doubt about that," Manuel said. "That's great. I'm happy for him. He put a lot of things behind him to be an All-Star. That's quite a testimony."
Everett said his selection caught him unaware.
"I'm kind of surprised, just simply because of the June that I had," Everett said. "My wife was actually planning a trip to the Bahamas for a couple of days. ... Now I'll get a free vacation."
There is a chance another White Sox player could join Loaiza and Everett on the All-Star team. Designated hitter Frank Thomas is one of five players on the ballot for the AL's 32nd man. Five players not elected to the All-Star Game were nominated by 2003 All-Star Game managers Dusty Baker and Mike Scioscia in conjunction with Major League Baseball. Fans now have three days to select the final player on each leagues rosters.
"I would encourage Frank to keep pushing and keep swinging the bat well," Manuel said. "I told him if this club can get on a streak of about seven or eight games, however many we have left, and find our way to the top at the break and he's a big reason for it, it would be difficult, very difficult, to deny him a chance to play in his home park. I hope that he doesn't give up hope."
Thomas is hitting .287 with 20 homers and 47 RBIs.
"There's always going to be snubs every year. I've seen it work so many different ways. You've just got to accept it and deal with it. I'm just tired of not making the All-Star team, and I've been so close to winning so many MVPs. It's like, what the heck do you have to do to be on the All-Star team? I just don't understand it."

HILLSDALE — A chance to discover the soul behind the curtain will give locals a taste of the blues Saturday night at The Dawn Theater in downtown Hillsdale.
Larry McCray, a blues performer drawing attention worldwide, will appear in Hillsdale at 8:30 p.m. with special guests Blues Du Jour featuring Brian Anderson (Who Dat Blues Band) and Hillsdale's own Eddie Crouch. Tickets are available at the Dawn Theater Box Office, Smith's Flowers and Here's to You Pub and Grub or by phone at 517-439-0110.
Dawn Theater manager Peggy Williams said McCray is the opening for the winter blues series with blues artists appearing nearly every weekend all winter long.
Having appeared in Hillsdale before in 2010 for the Street Dance in August and again at Johnny T's in Feb. 2011, McCray is not new to Hillsdale fans.
"I've performed in Hillsdale for years," McCray said in a phone interview in-between touring. "I first came to perform for the frat guys at the college and have been to several parties."
McCray said he likes returning to Hillsdale where people like his music and he doesn't have to explain it.
"For those who follow my career, they are excited about a new record with special guests featured out of the norm," he said. "We haven't completed the project yet, so details will come later."
On his Web site at larrymccrayband.com, McCray is described as "one of a handful of talented young blues performers leading the genre across boundaries and into the new century."
McCray's hard work paid off when he became the first artist signed by Virgin Records' blues division — Pointblank Records. In 1990, they released his debut, "Ambition," which was well received by the U.S. and European press.
1993 saw the release of McCray's second album, "Delta Hurricane," which was recorded in Memphis with the notoriously funky "Uptown Horns."
The site notes the guitarist's "gut-wrenching rendition of Warren Haynes' power ballad, 'Soul Shine,' which opened many ears to McCray's talent and diversity."
In 1998, Born To Play The Blues moved the story of McCray's broadly appealing music forward another giant step.
"Bold, brawny, often dazzling guitar lines are matched with confident, soul-drenched vocals," the site reads. "Understated funk rhythms and crunchy rock riffs meet searing slow blues and booty-bumping shuffles."
The year 2000 found the guitarist co-establishing his own independent record company together with Koch, forming Magnolia Records. The release "Believe It" kicked it off, putting McCray on chart to continue to release albums on his own dime and time, without the business or rules of a pressing-type of label.
McCray also sights a career highlight as being honored as the Orville Gibson 2000 Male Blues Guitarist of the Year. "Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, like seven or eight other people were nominated, as well," McCray said.
Page 2 of 2 - With Magnolia Records his new home and a young son to raise, McCray was able to pull back into his personal life for a while. McCray keeps busy on the road trying to find the time to write music.
Magnolia Records released the McCray's first live album, "Live On 75," Dec, 6, 2005. In November of 2006, Larry's latest studio record, simply self-titled "Larry McCray," was released and is gaining popularity in the U.S. and is also making a splash in Europe.
Williams said other big name artists will be featured in the blues series throughout winter weekends at The Dawn. Detroit's own Motor City Josh & The Big 3! will appear Friday, Feb. 8, at 9 p.m. (doors open at 7:30 p.m.).

I've some free time this weekend, and was going to look into developing a Windows Phone app. I assumed there was just one standard SDK to develop with, but it appears not to be the case. Anyway, initially I tried to download the Windows Phone 8 SDK, but it wouldn't let me install it as I only have Windows 7 on my machine. Looking through Google, there doesn't seem to be an easy way around this restriction. Since I cannot download WP8 SDK, I see there is a 7.8 SDK, a 7.11 SDK and a 7.1 SDK and I am not sure which I should download. Basically, I'd like to try and write one app that will work for all of 7.5/7.8/8.0. Is this currently possible? If it is, will I be able to test my app through RDA on Windows Phone 8 devices and have the same user experience? Any thoughts or experience on cross SDK development would be appreciated.
Also, has anyone got any other guides, recommendations, websites or suggestions for an experienced developer (albeit a developer who has never touched .net) looking to get started on Windows Phone? I am particularly interested on material about how design patterns can be utilized and any other best practices when developing apps.
Bear in mind, I am running a modern machine under Windows 7 and only have a WP 7.8 HTC Mozart (it was free!) to test my applications against. Please excuse any of my newbie-ness
Kind regards,

Line Up Financing First
When you're ready to buy a car, don't start shopping in earnest until you line up your financing. Get a pre-approved car loan from your bank first. (You don't have to actually take out the loan unless you buy a car, of course.) Then choose the car you want and negotiate the best price possible.
Then, when the dealer offers financing, see if they can beat the deal you've worked out with your bank. In most cases they won't. Car dealers often offer a low sales price but more than make up the difference on expensive financing terms. Get the best deal possible on financing and on the car itself.

Wilder blasts woeful Oxford United
9:00am Monday 30th December 2013 in Headlines
A furious Chris Wilder tore into his Oxford United players, and admitted they were lucky to lose only 2-0 against Scunthorpe United.
The U's have won plenty of plaudits for their resilient streak, which had taken them top of Sky Bet League Two, but it deserted them in a woeful display yesterday, which began badly and only got worse.
Deon Burton was allowed to head in the opener unmarked, and although the striker had a penalty saved before the break and missed a one-on-one in the second half, the Iron still cruised to victory.
David Syers doubled the lead and an awful afternoon for the hosts was completed when Deane Smalley had a penalty saved late on.
Wilder pulled no punches in his assessment.
"We didn't deserve anything from the game. It was by far and away our poorest performance this season," the United manager said.
Scunthorpe striker David Syers races through to lob stranded United goalkeeper Ryan Clarke
"We've escaped, to be fair – I think they deserved to win by a couple more at least.
"If the (Smalley) penalty had gone in and we had got something out of the game it would have been an absolute travesty, because we were second best all afternoon.
"We made poor decisions, gifted their goal with a poor clearance – and the second one was another mistake.
"They played like the home side, we made poor decisions in every part of the game."
The defeat rounded off a bad few days for United, who lost 3-2 at home to Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day.
It was the first time they have lost successive league games since April and dropped to fifth as a result – their lowest position of the season.
Wilder was particularly concerned by the lack of spirit, which has been a feature of the campaign to date.
He said: "Mentally we looked, especially in the last 15 minutes, really sorry for ourselves, which is not like us."

GM appeases recall-scandal victims but still faces two big hurdlesRick Newman at Breakout1 mth ago
General Motors (GM) has taken one more step toward quelling the controversy over defective ignition switches in millions of cars, unveiling an open-ended plan to compensate victims without forcing them to sue in court. But the automaker still faces two big hurdles as it moves through a long checklist of items needed to restore its reputation among consumers and reassure shareholders.
The victim-payout plan, developed by independent compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg, will entail payments as high as eight figures for victims killed or injured in defective GM vehicles, or their families. Payouts will vary by age and other factors, and account for things such as lost income and whether a victim had a spouse or children. GM will consider making deals even if victims were intoxicated or driving dangerously, provided the crash can be linked with the ignition problem.
Will we ever see another big bank merger?Michael Santoli at Breakout1 mth ago
Corporate America is again splurging on mergers, as swelling CEO confidence, frisky financial markets and a friendlier global economy have energized the acquisitive urge.
Yet banks and other financial companies – usually among the most avid shoppers for deals – have been conspicuously subdued amid the corporate coupling. In prior merger-and-acquisition cycles, bank mergers have produced increasingly gargantuan institutions and progressively more byzantine financial conglomerates. A popular infographic illustrates how the components of the largest four U.S. banks were 35 separate companies in 1990.
Passive money management strategy actively crushing stock pickersJeff Macke at Breakout1 mth ago
The stock market is beating the tar out of professional stock pickers again this year. According to this morning's Wall Street Journal more than 74% of actively managed mutual funds are lagging the S&P 500 (^GSPC) so far in 2014. Even when the numbers are tweaked so that funds are compared to their sometimes arbitrary benchmarks it's the worst year for active managers since 2011.
It's a disheartening reversal from 2013 when 50% of actively managed funds were able to keep up with the S&P but it should hardly come as a surprise. Over the long-term very few funds beat their benchmarks or the market as a whole.
Apple's amazing quarter, MannKind rebounds, Zillow zipping higherBreakout Staff at Breakout1 mth ago
Time for your daily dose of trending tickers, the stocks that you're tracking as measured by Yahoo Finance ticker searches:
After getting mashed on Friday, MannKind (MNKD) shares soaring today after the FDA finally approved its inhaled insulin drug Affreza. The drug is a powder that is inhaled through the lungs and is reportedly faster acting than injected insulin treatments. It's been a long road for Affrezza, after eight years of trials and obstacles, and two prior FDA rejections. Affreza will be used to treat type one and type two diabetes, but will carry the strongest advisory on its box warning due to pulmonary risks.
Welcome back Charney? American Apparel saga gets weirderJeff Macke at Breakout2 mths ago
Shares of American Apparel (APP) spiked 27% in less than half an hour on Friday after word leaked out that former CEO Dov Charney had found a sugar daddy backer to help him regain control of the company. The backer, a firm called Standard General, was set to buy more than 10% of outstanding American Apparel shares then sell them to Charney who already owns more than 27% of the company.
Over the weekend American Apparel's board adopted a poison pill that was filed as an 8-K this morning. This new so-called "modification to rights" says Charney's deal with Standard General won't increase his voting rights, effectively defeating the purpose of the agreement.
All of this is in the context of American Apparel's default on a $10 million loan from Lion's Capital. The default was triggered when the board ousted Charney on June 18th. In a darkly ironic twist British Based Lion's Capital has given American Apparel until July 4th to refinance the loan or, and this is where it gets weird, possibly bring back Dov Charney.
'Common sense' says look out for a market dropJeff Macke at Breakout2 mths ago
What if stocks hit record highs and no one really cared?
That's been the story of 2014 thus far and it seems unlikely to change during this holiday shortened week. For the record the mark didn't close at all time highs on Friday, having sold off for several days while America's attention was focused on the World Cup. Regardless, with better than 7% gains on the S&P 500 (^GSPC) (including dividends) already in the books this year Hugh Johnson of HJ Advisors says it's time to play some defense.
"After the kind of move we had to the upside in 2013 and for that matter even a pretty strong since early April just common sense alone says we might be a little bit pricey or overvalued. It's going to be tough to make new commitments to the market" Johnson comments in the attached clip.
What fast food workers can learn from Ikea's wage hikeJeff Macke at Breakout2 mths ago
The first rule of free market capitalism is that it works at its own pace. The second rule of capitalism is that it does not take kindly to those who try to subvert the first rule.
Consider the plights of retail workers and fast food servers. Start with Ikea. The makers of Tyler Durden's favorite furniture this week announced that they will be raising the minimum wage for thousands of its retail workers. On January first Ikea's base pay will rise to $10.76 an hour on average. With Scandinavian pragmatism, the exact rate will be pegged to how much it costs to live in the area surrounding the store. In other words, the company is looking to pay a base line living wage.
Nike dominates, Michaels begins trading, GoPro soars againJeff Macke at Breakout2 mths ago
Time for your daily dose of trending tickers, the stocks that you're tracking as measured by Yahoo Finance ticker searches:
Score one for the winged Goddess of Victory! Nike (NKE) shares are up 2% after the company opened a can of whoop butt on earnings estimates. The shoe and apparel maker's printed 78-cents of EPS on $7.43 billion in revenue, 3-cents and 100-million better than analysts had expected. The company obviously spent like crazy on that little soccer tournament thing going on in Brazil but it clearly paid off for investors. Nike shares are more than twenty-five percent higher over the last twelve months.
What's weighing on gold prices?Deirdre Hughes at Breakout2 mths ago
Gold prices could be headed lower, at least in the short term. Sam Stovall of S&P Capital IQ believes gold has to retest recent lows, before it can continue the rally it's seen so far this year.
"[Gold] prices did break through its zone of resistance at 1,275 to about 1,300 and now it's coming back and I think it needs to go through a re-testing process," said Stovall. "Our belief is that it is on an upward trajectory, but it does have to go through this re-test and we would look to about $1,260 for gold prices to be an important level of consideration."
Stovall also points out that investors have had an atypical reaction to the recent geopolitical tensions rising between Iraq and Syria. "Gold also is a safe haven and so increased tensions usually help gold," he said. "You would have thought that with Syria bombing Iraq, killing 50 people on Tuesday that that would have been a concern, but oil prices actually headed lower on that day, so I think the markets were sort of casting that aside… as being the start of a much bigger concern."
Stocks, bonds, cash and...wineKevin Chupka at Breakout2 mths ago
Stocks, bonds, cash and...wine? There are plenty of alternative investments out there but perhaps few are as enjoyable as collecting wine. Chris Adams of New York's Sherry-Lehmann wine store joined us to look closer at this asset class. Wine collecting is often seen as the playground of the uber rich but that may not be the case, at least not entirely Adams says, though he warns you do need a fair amount of capital to get started. "It is for people who can start with maybe $10,000, maybe $15,000. Below that I'm not sure the return is worth the investment."
That's a lot of money, true, but compared to other alternative investments -- like say fine art -- wine collecting is at least a little closer to reality. "It costs money to buy the best," Adams says. "You have to be informed about buying the best, it's an agricultural product so you need to know about the vintages but then you have to store the wine properly - and there's a cost associated with that."

"It's great to be here, but it's very strange in a way, because I have never been a part of anything like this," he said. "But this is an honor to be here and to be with all the players of the future. I think this is a good opportunity to showcase their talent in the sport and have some fun. I am new to this, so I don't know all the players and their histories, but you can tell they are talented and this is an exciting event."
As a player, Valenzuela climbed through the minor league ranks at a rapid pace and made his big-league debut in relief against Atlanta on Sept. 15, 1980, at the age of 19. He went on to pitch 10 times down the playoff stretch -- including three times against the Astros -- and finished with a 0.00 ERA in 17 2/3 innings.
In 1981, he pitched Opening Day -- against Houston -- to start Fernandomania.
He retired from the Major Leagues in 1997 after 17 seasons, posting a career record of 173-153 with a 3.54 ERA. He joined Jaime Jarrin and Pepe Yniguez as a Spanish broadcaster for the Dodgers last season, and is considering a comeback in the Mexican League.
"The truth is, I would like to play again," he said. "But I have to get in shape and make sure I am physically fit. I have talked about it, but nothing is for sure. It would be fun. I love baseball and playing this game. We will see what happens."
Oh, Canada: On a World team that boasts players from seven different countries, Jeff Francis found a familiar face in the World clubhouse with fellow Vancouver-area native Justin Morneau. Beyond being teammates in youth ball, they both have a chance to be Olympians when Team Canada sets its roster for the 2004 Summer Games in Athens.
At this point, the only question with Morneau is whether he'd be eligible. If the Twins call him back up to the Majors this summer, he'll be in a pennant race instead of a medals chase. Even if he's a strong possibility as a late-season callup, or a replacement if the Twins make a trade at the deadline, the Twins might protect him from selection.
He's hoping to get the chance to represent his country.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Morneau said. "The chances of us being in the Olympics again aren't great."
That's not to say that he -- or Francis, for that matter -- thinks the Canadians should be longshots, even when facing a Japanese team that could have ample experience.
"We kind of got in there when the U.S. lost to Mexico [in a qualifying tournament last November]," said Francis, whose chances of playing for Team Canada would appear to be solid. "I don't think we're an underdog. I think we have as good a chance as everybody else. The way they hit the ball, we have an opportunity."
Far East equals: Shin-soo Choo is from Korea, not Japan. As a Mariners outfield prospect, however, he knows the comparisons to Ichiro Suzuki are a little easier to make.
In his case, however, it's not just nationality. They not only share the same multi-tool talent, but the same mind-set as well. He's also worn Ichiro's famed jersey No. 51 in the past.
"I think average first," Choo said, "not just home runs. I try for a high average and stolen bases, then home runs."
Choo also played in the 2002 Futures Game in Milwaukee.
He didn't get much of a chance to show his strong arm Sunday, but a key throw helped make partial amends for a costly error. He couldn't track down B.J. Upton's two-out fly ball in the third inning. Two runs scored on the play, but Choo's throw back to the infield helped catch Upton -- who strayed too far off the bag -- to record the third out.
All four USA runs, in fact, were unearned. An Andy Marte fielding error with no outs in the fifth helped set up a pair of runs for a 4-0 deficit. Otherwise, World pitchers combined for six scoreless innings with no walks and eight strikeouts.

On ELECTION DAY, while Blacks scramble to polls voting for a Black man, Oklahoma EXECUTES one !
Southern Strategy is alive & well in Oklahoma but in a bizarre form.
- Nationwide voter suppression aimed at black & other minority communities to prevent the nation's first black president
from winning re-election;
- Reports of Oklahoma purging democrat voters from the voter rolls ;
- White Oklahoma republican legislators pushed for affirmative action to be abolished in the state that is
known for its hatred for a black US President;
- Oklahoma Republicans had this affirmative action question to be placed on the ballot to be voted on in the
presidential election knowing that a black president's name would also be named on the same ballot;
- Racist vitriol spewed by Oklahoma GOP politicians which fueled hate rhetoric to their constituents at conventions &
political gatherings against a black president;
Then these white republicans in Oklahoma with venomous hatred for this black man in the White House decided to show the depth of it by executing another black man on
Yes, they did this! While black folks in Oklahoma were scrambling to get to the voting polls on ELECTION DAY to vote for a black man to remain as president, the state of Oklahoma was executing another black on the same day. In my opinion this was a twisted message the white republicans of Oklahoma was sending to the black people in the state.
When they say racism is skin deep disease to the bone, they aint lying, cause these white republican politicians in Oklahoma have got it bad. Real bad. How low can they go?
By the way, the blood RED state of Oklahoma at 6:05 pm on November 6, 2012 – ELECTION DAY, executed a mentally ill black man named Garry Allen. At that same time – 6:05 pm, blacks folks were still standing in long lines at voting polls in Carter County & other Oklahoma counties trying desperately to vote for another black man to be re-elected President of the United States & that man's name is Barack Obama. It was reported that the last words of inmate Garry Allen at the ELECTION DAY EXECUTION was his prediction of an Obama win to the presidency.
The following video was recorded at the Oklahoma Death Penalty Discussion/Session held at the NAACP Oklahoma state convention in Oklahoma City on 11/10/2012.

King Solomon's Mines is Allan Quatermain's account of his quest through a dangerous, unknown area of Africa, accompanied by Sir Henry...
(The entire section is 333 words.)
Allan Quatermain, a hunter and trader now more than sixty years of age, recently has made a great deal of money through his adventures. Although he is no writer, he decides to tell his story at the request of his two companions, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good.
Since he is laid up with a bad leg from the bite of a lion, he decides he might as well take them up on it. Also his son Harry, who is in London studying to become a physician, would be amused by his father's adventures as a means of passing the time away from his studies. But most importantly, Quatermain has the strangest story to tell, even though there are no women in it.
Quatermain relates that he was born a gentleman but has been nothing but a traveling trader and hunter all his life. Although he has killed many men, none of them have been of innocent blood.
Eighteen months previously, he had been hunting elephant but had run into a lot of bad luck. He decides to return to his home in Natal by boat. He sees another passenger, who is about thirty with blond hair, reminding him of an ancient Dane. He is talking to a stout, dark man who Quatermain immediately decides must be a naval officer, which indeed he turns out to be.
After the boat gets underway, the dark man complains to Quatermain that the pendulum near the engines was not properly weighted. He introduces himself as Captain John Good, a retired naval officer as Quatermain had guessed he must be. Captain Good and Quatermain dine together, meeting Sir Henry Curtis at a nearby table. As the captain and Quatermain talk, Sir Henry interrupts and asks if he is indeed Allan Quatermain, the hunter. When Quatermain assures him that he is, Sir Henry mumbles that it is "fortunate."
After dinner, Sir Henry invites Quatermain and Captain Good to his quarters. Sir Henry seems to know of Quatermain's recent travels, asking him if he met a man called Neville. When Quatermain explains that he met him heading into the interior of the continent, Sir Henry explains that Neville is really his brother George. They had had a quarrel, followed by their father's death.
Sir Henry wants to find his lost brother, from whom nothing has been heard for a long time, because George, who has no profession, might be in a desperate situation. Sir Henry has come to Africa along with Captain Good to seek out Quatermain, who is the last person to have seen the missing man, and to discover where his brother might be.
Sir Henry asks Quatermain what he has heard about his brother's journey. Quatermain replies that he heard that the man he knew as Neville was heading toward King Solomon's Mines.
Sir Henry and Captain Good are shocked to hear of this legendary spot and ask where they are. Quatermain says that he saw the peaks of the mountains that border them, but there was more a hundred of miles of desert blocking him, so he did not dare to cross.
Quatermain tells his two new acquaintances of an old elephant hunter named Evans who first told him about the mines. He said that the Suliman Mountains are simply a corruption for the name "Solomon Mountains." There a race of great wizards lived who had the secret of a mine of "bright stones."
Evans died a year later, so Quatermain did not think of the mines for another twenty years. Then one day, as he was recovering from fever, a Portuguese man by the name of José Silvestre told him he was taking off on a journey that would make him the richest man in the world and promised to remember Quatermain.
A week passed, and Silvestre returned in an emaciated and starving condition. Quatermain tried to take care of him, but the man was clearly dying. Silvestre pointed off to the Suliman Mountains and told Quatermain that the mines were there.
He gave Quatermain an old map and letter that an ancestor of his passed down through the generations. The letter gave directions for reaching King Solomon's Mines, which are guarded by Gagool the witch-finder. The explorer must kill Gagool before the treasure can be his. Silvestre soon died, and Quatermain buried him but kept the letter and the map.
Quatermain then answers Sir Henry's question about his brother. Mr. Neville, as he still refers to him, was attended by a native Bechuana by the name of Jim. Jim tells Quatermain that he is soon leaving with Neville to go after the diamonds at "Suliman's Berg," or Solomon's Mountain.
Quatermain objects that he has heard about the mines but believes that it is a foolish story. Jim disagrees, saying that he once knew a woman who came from there. As Neville leaves, Jim bids Quatermain good-bye since it is doubtful that he will ever return. Quatermain copies the directions on his map for Jim to guide the reckless Neville.
Sir Henry and Captain Good ask Quatermain to come with them on their search for Sir Henry's brother, but Quatermain refuses, saying that he is too old. Sir Henry says that he will split the wealth of the mines, should they be found, with Good. All expenses will also be paid. At this handsome offer, Quatermain promises to think it over.
Allan Quatermain does not make up his mind about joining the adventure until they reach the port of Durban. As the three men wait to leave the boat, Quatermain announces that he agrees to guide them to the Suliman Mountains on three conditions: one, that he will receive half of all treasure recovered; two, that he will receive five hundred pounds before the trip begins; and three, that should he die, his son Harry will receive an annuity of two hundred pounds for five years.
Sir Henry readily agrees to these conditions, saying that he gladly would give more. Quatermain wishes that he had asked for more, but he will not go back on his word now. He warns Sir Henry and Captain Good that he doubts that they will survive this adventure because no white man has lived to tell the tale in more than three hundred years. He says that he is taking the chance because he believes that God will take him when his time to die has come. Also, he is a poor man and he would like a treasure to leave his son wealthy.
Sir Henry commends Quatermain for his courage, agreeing with the fatalistic attitude that the elephant hunter bears. They drink to seal their bargain.
The following day they go ashore, and Quatermain leads the two men to his shanty, although it is small and humble. They pitch a tent in the garden and sleep there. Quatermain begins to buy supplies, especially a wagon and oxen to carry them and their belongings to the mountains in the north.
A driver, a leader, and two servants are also hired, but a third servant is needed. Quatermain despairs of finding one fit for the journey, when a lighter skinned Zulu approaches him. Quatermain thinks he looks familiar and learns that they encountered each other in the Zulu war.
The Zulu's name is Umbopa and he is a member of a distant branch of the traditionally dark-skinned Zulu tribe. Umbopa's people had remained in the north when the Zulus migrated south many centuries ago. Now he wants to join Quatermain and his company, desiring to return to his home in the north.
Quatermain is concerned that Umbopa knew of his trip, even though he had tried to keep it a secret. He presents the Zulu to Sir Henry and Captain Good, who decide that he will be a worthy addition to their company, with Sir Henry proclaiming him his own servant. Umbopa is pleased, stating that he and Sir Henry are both men.
Quatermain, Sir Henry, and Captain Good, along with their servants, leave Durban in January on a journey that extends a thousand miles, the last three hundred having to be made on foot.
In May, the party stops at Sitanda's Kraal, where they camp. At Inyati, they leave their wagon with a missionary, along with the twelve remaining oxen. Eight of the oxen had died on the way. Goza and Tom, the driver and leader, remain to take care of them. Hiring a half a dozen bearers, Quatermain leads the group off into the wilderness.
After two weeks, they come into a region inhabited by elephants. They also spot a herd of giraffes. Captain Good takes aim and hits one in the neck, severing its spinal chord. They feast that night on giraffe steaks. For their safety, the men build a "scherm," a protected area surrounded by thorn bushes.
As they eat, the men hear the sounds of a lion at a nearby pool, following by the trumpeting of an elephant. Captain Good jumps up, ready to shoot more game. Sir Henry decides that they should stay at this spot for a few days to do some hunting. This surprises Quatermain because Sir Henry always had been the one to push them forward, especially since they had heard at Inyati that a white man named Neville sold his wagon there two years previously.
As they prepare for the night, the men hear sounds of a scuffling at the nearby watering hole. Rushing in that direction, they see the body of a lion impaled on the horns of a dead antelope. Quatermain surmises that the lion had jumped on the antelope and become caught on the horns. He continued to inflict damage to his prey until the antelope and the lion both died.
Quatermain orders the Kafirs, his bearers, to take the bodies back to the camp and skin them the next day. In the morning Quatermain, Sir Henry, and Captain Good, accompanied by Umbopa and Khiva (another of the servants), track down more of the elephants. They kill several before the herd manages to escape.
Captain Good refuses to dress appropriately for the bush, insisting on wearing ceremonial clothing. When an elephant comes running down the path, Good trips on his loose trousers, falling in front of the elephant. Khiva jumps in front of the marauding beast, which seizes him and hurls him to the ground. Stepping on Khiva's middle, the elephant grabs Khiva's upper body and rips him in two.
Captain Good grieves that such a brave man died saving his life. Umbopa sighs that Khiva is dead, but he died like a man.
After killing nine elephants, Quatermain and his companions spend two days cutting out the valuable tusks, which they bury under a tall tree. They bury Khiva in an ant-bear hole, providing him with a spear for his journey to the next world.
They then face the next stage of their journey, which is the desert that lies before the Suliman Mountains. They are at the spot where Quatermain had met Silvestre following the Portuguese's return from King Solomon's Mines.
Umbopa speaks to Sir Henry as an equal, which angers Quatermain, who thinks that it is not decent for a native to speak to a white man familiarly. Umbopa warns Sir Henry that the way is hard, but Sir Henry...
(The entire section is 424 words.)
Allan Quatermain awakens, dreaming that he was bathing in a running stream. When he becomes aware of his surroundings, he remembers Umbopa's warning that they would die that day if they did not find water.
Dawn is breaking, so he pulls out a book of poems to read, but the subject of water in the poem is torture. When his companions wake up, they discuss their need for water. Captain Good starts to drink some of the brandy, but Sir Henry stops him, telling him that alcohol in his dehydrated state would finish him off.
The other servant, a Hottentot named Ventvogel, examines the ground and finds signs of a springbok, which do not go far from water. Ventvogel then says that he smells water and...
(The entire section is 411 words.)
Sir Henry determines that the body of the white man is not his brother. Quatermain realizes that it is Dom Jose da Silvestra, the man who made the map he is carrying. The bone pen he used is by his side, and the wound in his left arm is evidently where he drew the blood he used for ink.They set Ventvogel's body next to him. Sir Henry takes the crucifix that hangs around Silvestra's neck while Quatermain takes the bone pen.
Leaving the cave, the men see a small herd of antelope. They fire and kill one. Not having anything with which to build a fire, they eat the meat raw, proclaiming it delicious in their hunger.
Below them they see Solomon's Great Road, although part of it...
(The entire section is 430 words.)
The travelers are led by the guides, Infadoos and Scragga walking with them. Quatermain asks Infadoos who made the road and the sculptures in the ravine, and Infadoos tells him that they were made a long time ago by people from the north.
He also tells the hunter of the last war, which was a civil war between the warriors of Kukuanaland. The current king, Twala, had been born the younger twin of two boys. By tradition, the weaker twin was put to death; in this case, that would have been Twala, but his mother hid him. The other twin, Imotu, was made king at the death of his father, but Gagool, the wise woman, brought out Twala and revealed the serpent tattoo, which was put on the heir when he was born....
(The entire section is 442 words.)
For two days, the native Kukuana lead the white men to Loo, the place where Twala the king is residing. They travel along Solomon's Great Road, which ends at the mountains that the Kukuanas call the "Three Witches." These mountains are full of caves.
When Quatermain asks why men came to this place, Infadoos replies that the "men from the Stars," as he calls the white men, should know. Quatermain says that he has heard that men came for "bright stones, pretty playthings, and yellow iron." Infadoos tells him that he will have to ask Gagool, the old wise woman.
Umbopa says that the diamonds are there and will be found by the white men, who are so fond of such toys and...
(The entire section is 480 words.)
Quatermain tells Infadoos that it seems to him that Twala is a cruel king. Infadoos agrees and says that the land cries out against his tyranny.
Quatermain asks why the people do not get rid of him. Infadoos replies that they have respect for the office of king, even if they do not like the king himself. Also Scragga is the next in line, and he is even worse than his father.
Umbopa asks if he is sure that Ignosi, the son of Twala's brother, is dead. He tells them that the queen and her son did not die but escaped over the mountains and were found by a wandering tribe. The queen eventually died and the son became a wanderer, working as a servant and a soldier.
(The entire section is 414 words.)
Infadoos brings six warriors to Ignosi and the white men, asking Ignosi to show them the serpent tattoo. He does so but they are still cautious, saying that he easily could have tattooed himself recently.
The white men are unable to think of another sign until Captain Good shows them in his almanac that a lunar eclipse is to occur the following night. Quatermain is unsure, stating that they could be mistaken about the date, or it might be cloudy during the eclipse.
They have no other choice, however, so they tell the six warriors that they will cause the moon to disappear, and by this they will know that they tell the truth and Ignosi is their king. Ignosi is grateful for their help in...
(The entire section is 422 words.)
Infadoos leads the way out of Loo, journeying for more than an hour as the eclipse passes. They go to a flat-topped hill, shaped like a horseshoe. There is a camping ground at the top where there is usually one regiment of three thousand men, but they see that there are several regiments gathered there.
Infadoos had sent for the white men's goods along with Captain Good's trousers, which he gratefully puts on at last. Infadoos regrets that he can no longer see Good's "beautiful white legs."
Infadoos explains that he has commanded all the regiments to muster at dawn. There are about twenty thousand warriors supporting Ignosi, although Twala has about thirty-five thousand with the prospect of more...
(The entire section is 417 words.)
As Quatermain and the forces of Ignosi wait on the hilltop, three columns of Twala's regiments approach, forming a three-prong assault. Captain Good wishes for a Gatling gun, but Sir Henry says there is no use wishing for what they do not have. He urges Quatermain to try a shot at the tallest warrior, who is probably the commander.
Quatermain takes careful aim but misses, killing an orderly a few feet to his left. Good goads him and Quatermain takes aim at the now-running warrior, killing him with the second shot.
The forces on the hillside cheer for the white man's magic, and Sir Henry and Captain Good begin firing into the native troops below....
(The entire section is 421 words.)
Before the battle, Infadoos rouses his troops. The Greys (along with Sir Henry) and the Buffaloes (with Quatermain) will bear the brunt of the first fighting. Infadoos promises rewards to all should they prove victorious.
Quatermain, looking over the gallant men, realizes that most of them will soon be dead. The troops give their king a salute worthy of a Roman emperor.
Ignosi puts himself at the head of the Buffaloes, which will serve as a reserve force supporting the Greys. Quatermain looks on as the battle commences. Twala's forces attack the Greys, who give ferocious battle, soon passing over the dead bodies of their foes.
There are heavy casualties,...
(The entire section is 483 words.)
Sir Henry, Captain Good, and Quatermain are taken to Twala's hut, where their wounds can be treated. Foulata, the woman they saved from dying as a sacrifice to the mountains, serves as their nurse. Although their chain mail managed to save their lives, they are still terribly bruised by the blows of the enemies' spears.
That night Sir Henry sleeps in the bed of Twala, the man whom he killed. It is a fitful night as the cries of those mourning their dead fill the air, as well as the terrible dreams that haunt their sleep.
In the morning, it is discovered that Captain Good is seriously ill with a high fever and internal injuries. When Infadoos comes to the hut to greet them, he is concerned...
(The entire section is 493 words.)
Quatermain, Captain Good, and Sir Henry are accompanied by Infadoos, Gagool, Foulata, and several guards and attendants as they journey toward the three mountain peaks known as the Three Witches.
Solomon's Great Road stops at the foot of the central peak. Quatermain is excited to be drawing near to the mines, even though they were the cause of death for so many. Gagool predicts that the same fate will befall them. She warns them not to hurry so quickly toward the evil that awaits them.
At last they come to a great pit where diamonds had been mined. The road goes around the pit toward three giant statues (one female and two male)—the Three Silent Ones....
(The entire section is 410 words.)
Gagool checks on how Twala's corpse is faring, kissing the lips of his severed head. She lights a lamp and leads the party behind the statue of Death. A rock rises from the floor to reveal an opening to another chamber. Quatermain begins to tremble, anxious to see if there really is a treasure chamber or if it is a hoax after all.
Gagool says that the diamonds were brought from the pit outside by the Three Silent Ones to this chamber. A white man and a woman came and put some diamonds in a goat skin bag. The white man became frightened of something, Gagool did not know what, and left the bag behind as he ran from the cave, holding only one diamond, which the kings of Kukuanas wore on their crown....
(The entire section is 500 words.)
The men try to sleep, but the total silence and thoughts of their impending suffering and death prevent much rest. After a few hours, Sir Henry suggests that they eat some of the food that is still remaining from the basket that Foulata brought with her. Captain Good does not see why; the sooner they die, the better. Eating would just prolong their death, not prolong their life.
Sir Henry then suggests that they yell in case anyone should be looking for them and may be outside in the outer chamber. They cry out, but there is no response. All they hear is silence, so they give in to their despair. Quatermain and Captain Good begin to sob.
The day passes. They soon notice that there is a steady...
(The entire section is 408 words.)
After resting for two days, the men return down the mountain, not really that much worse for their experience. The only consequences seem to be a few more gray hairs on Quatermain's head. Also, Captain Good has been changed by Foulata's death, although Quatermain sees it as a blessing in disguise because such a relationship would have been impossible in white civilization, despite Foulata's beauty.
Before they leave, they return to the Chamber of Death but can find no way to raise the stone doorway to the treasure chamber, although Gagool's crushed body still remains. They leave the treasure, along with poor Foulata's bones, to be found by some future explorer.
(The entire section is 423 words.)
Quatermain is walking ahead of the other two down a stream that leads from the oasis until it disappears in the desert sands. He sees a grass hut that has a full doorway instead of the usual short "beehive" entrance.
A white man emerges dressed in skins and having an enormous black beard. He is limping as he walks toward the strangers, then falls down into a faint. Sir Henry cries out that it is his brother George.
Another man, also dressed in skins, appears from the hut. He exclaims when he sees Quatermain. It is Jim, the hunter whom Quatermain met several years earlier as he was leaving to follow "Mr. Neville" in his search for King Solomon's mines. Sir...
