“We were successful in hunting, and shot an elephant, whose teeth we sold for cloth and two guns.”
“And where did you meet elephants?”
“On the frontier, near Urori.”
“And where did you meet the Arabs?”
“In Ututa, two days from Urori.”
“Did you ask them where they were going?”
“They were going to Uwemba.”
“Perhaps you can tell us where they came from?”
“From Ubena.”
“Strangers,” said the chief, “you are liars. No Arabs have been in this country for a long, long time. You are our prisoners, and must come before the King in our company;” and, as he spoke, the men that had gathered near rushed at them and disarmed them.
