From the Congo to the Niger and the Nile : an account of The German Central African expedition of 1910-1911 . 75. Okondo and his wives TOWARDS THE NILE 61 Uelle district, and its high situation affords a fineview of the chain of hills which forms the watershedbetween the two largest river systems of Africa, andalso the boundary between the Anglo-Egyptian andBelgian territories. It was here that I received the first news of the Moroccocrisis. I was on the point of setting out throughBritish territory on my way home to Germany, andI could imagine nothing more inconvenient for methan an Anglo-German war. I heard now for thefirst time of the stirring events in Agadir, and I mustconfess that I dreaded the result more for my ownsake than for patriotic reasons. I heard that Inspector Dove-Bey, the EnglishGovernor of Lado-Enclave, residing at Yei, was avery friendly gentleman, and I came to the conclusionthat even if he knew of my connection with the army,he was unlikely to make me a prisoner of war on thespot. So I made up my mind to push on to Yei withall possible dispatch, remaining in Abba only longenough to comply ^^dth
