The palms grow in damp marshy soil (in which the 

 natives grow rice), and are not very easy of access. Never- 

 theless, they are only some ten miles distant from the 

 Maputa Store (native trading station), and there is no 

 reason why, if the fibre is of use, natives should not be 

 hired to cut and carry it to the store, whence, it could be 

 transported to railhead in wagons which are continually 

 going down to Somkele empty in order to bring up trade 

 goods.
