. Tramps round the Mountains of the Moon and through the back gate of the Congo State . beginning of things in the statement of acase, proved far more difficult than the settling of instance, our headman at Kabarole came up oneday in a state of great excitement about his dispute,but after listening for a long time I gradually foundthat it resolved itself into the simple matter of wherethe centre lay in a little causeway through the swampten minutes away. The headman, by the way, was a poor fellow namedKivekyabu, then so brimming over with life andenergy, who afterwards went blind suddenly whilstdrinking, through the supposed influence of witch-craft, a mysterious case that has never been satisfac-torily explained. Kivekyabu had been called upon to repair the cause-way in conjunction with the Katikiros men, and thequestion was what was their share. Whilst there wasany possibility of getting any relief he carefullyobscured the fact that the shares should be equal,and in my ignorance of local custom there were allsorts of inquiries one wanted to make as to the number.
