Impressions of North-East Rhodesia 



means a nice fat young cow and an occasional calf 

 on the sly. In one village we heard a circum- 

 stantial story as to how a certain chief had had 

 three months "hard" for telling a party of 

 " Buanas " from Broken Hill where eland lay. 

 That he had his " three months " is very possible, 

 and it had evidently produced a desirable effect on 

 his neighbours. But if the records of the case were 

 referred to, they would probably show that the 

 sporting chief and his co-villagers had ringed and 

 killed a nice little herd, male and female, and 

 consumed them to the accompaniment of great 

 rejoicings.
