62 After Big Game in Central Africa 



We carry the bubalis whole to the camp, where it 

 is soon cut up and placed on the loads. We sleep in 

 the evening at the village where I killed the lion, and 

 the next day we camp at the foot of the hills which 

 one can see around, five minutes' distance from the 

 River Kapoche, in the upper basin of which we have 

 been for some time. 



We make an entrenched camp like the one we 

 have just left, carefully concealing it, because there 

 are not only animals in this district, but also the 

 Mpeseni plunderers, the famous Mafsitis. 1 One must 

 be on one's guard against any attack on their part. 

 I name this camp, around which we move for some 

 time, Niarugwe, that is to say, "Panther Camp," 

 on account of the visits which that animal paid us.
