Lake Victoria to Khartoum 



from overeating, and the rest tipsy — the results 

 of " merissa " or native beer brewed from dhurra 

 in honour of the occasion. Although they love 

 the meat above all things, what good does a sur- 

 feit of it do them ? I suppose it's like a boat- 

 race night in town, which, being interpreted to 

 those not " in the know," means a gigantic bust ! 

 Equally unintelligible I hope ! 



Well, the tusks were good ones, so I went to 

 bed happy ; but I will never retract any remarks 

 I have made about savages.
