Xtc I wt MO? KM K>OM *«<0 #OH t&iO H . ftjUMM'MtfftvrW'tU' Nina. The next day I was busy making firewood contracts giving orders for large canoes and buying farinea, dried fish, etc. I was greatly assist led by my boy who was very Intelli gent, honest and really loved me us I did him. 1 had taught him to speak and read English. As he was the son of a Gamma chief who liv ed near the sea he was the owner by birth of a salt claim which we' found was being worked by his brother, a slave trader. It had always been my custom to say a prayer before going to bed In the evening, he would kneel down also, he always slept near me If we were In a dangerous locality he would sleep near me, he would rise on the slightest call, wake my cook and attend to me hand and foot. We naturally discussed Izaga, was she a white woman, she was he an to patrol the coast. The dead English trader's mine was T-. The two other boys died leaving only Nina and her mother Mrs. T——. Shortly after the death of her husband she had married a famous witch-doctor. This witch doctor took little Nina and her mother away. Was It Nina that was the big Izaga that never died? He said he was not certain but he llad heard his father say It was little Nina. T-'a slaves, ten In number, i came from Old Calabar and were liberated on the death of Mr, T—-. They had since the death of their owner lived on hla plndl or planta tion and as they all had wives and children formed quite a little colony and made quite a good living gath ering mangrove bark for tanning leather In the small rivers. They were not allowed to make salt as the In the heart ol the cannibal — country, queening it over the most savage tribe, lived a white woman, Nina T. s we red, because he knew her father who always went to Princes’ Island to meet the mall steamer which called about three times a year. He had come to Cape Lopes when my attendant who was named Renchoro was a boy. His wile who came with him on a small steamer was white he said but not so white as the daughter whose name was Nina. The T—— Family. The trader was an Englishman and had died suddenly leaving his store and everything to his wile. He had left three boys and one girl, Nina, who was the youngest. The oldest boy had sailed away on a schooner and was nearly grown to manhood and along with him went Yousouf Carriala, a Mohammedan slaver and dangerous pirate. This was after his stronghold had been shelled and burned by a British gunboat. A slave-catcher which used real owners of the country reserved the right of those who were Free born only. Where was Hon. T- burled? As all the white men who died on this part of the coast were burled on an Island situated at the main entrance of the Ogowe river, I told him we would visit this spot as soon as we had finished our business at i Angola as I wanted to learn the truth about Nina and her mother He said the best people to give me all this information were the lib erated slaves on the plantation. I found all he said to be correct. Within The Temple. Everything was quiet In the sacred village. My boys who had been Ini tiated the previous day all wore a Sunday Smile. I had finished two sections of my map and was high ly pleased with the Old Chief call ed on me. He told me that after many calls the spirit* were pleased at my request to join them, he also Instructed me to follow all his j edicts. This of course X promised to Ido. As we entered the temple which had ornamentation of human skulls, and likewise two small pyramids of the same placed on each side of the doorway. I was confronted by a row of muaked objects hideous to be hold. I was then seated bareheaded on a small seat composed of leopard skUis. There were two objects the Chief called my attention to, one was a squaro piece of crystal, the other was peg-top-shaped and pointed at one end. He told me to place my hand on these objects, and that one represented fire (the red one) and the other water. This I did but could not help grasping the smaller one which was very heavy, I came to the conclusion It was a ruby of great value. ^ , After this there was great voci feration from the building, suppos ed to come from the spirits behind. The sounds were somewhat irregu lar and then again there was a con glomeration of spirits of delight. Now everything in the temple be gan to sparkle and placing bis hand on my head, which I bowed low, he nnounced In a loud voice the en trance of Izaga. He then said (Dana te eo> Rest In peace or Don’t be disturbed. I noticed on raising my head a little commotion from those In gog gle-eyed masks who were at the right and left of where I saw the Izaga (or native God). The Chief then ordered me to stand up and approach the centre mask and whilst I was doing so the mask disappeared from Izaga likewise the rafia hangings. The Goddess. There stood the god that never Dtes. the most beautiful white wom an I had ever seen. Her eyes were large and had a kind and affec tionate look Although I thought there was pity In them they had a magnetic effect on me. Her hair was auburn, and was ptalded in circles and pressed on to the temples. Two ringlets ornamented with gold and green tassels fell down on each side of her shoulders, whilst high up on her forehead the hair formed a dia mond-shaped coronet. A short leap ard skin kilt ornamented with snake skin and dainty fur sandals with black straps formed the rest of the dress of this Izaga. I was kept waiting for some time her large Intelligent Eyes fixed on tne. "TaxI Izaga.” Now a conglomeration of pleasing sounds filled the building and this Was mingled with low music from the lngombls or native harps which are small, are made like the Egyp tian harp but have only seven strings. A sudden cessation or the music and muttering was followed by a voice which seemed to come from afar. The spirits were pleased and had made their decision. Distinct command now came from Isaga who said Rangasi. The Old Chief led and I repeated after him the words Yasl Izaga, at the same time striking my left fore arm with my right hand. Although the sound came from Izaga the .mouth never moved, the eyes were fixed on me as before and never moved during the whole perform ance. The Pot to Seel the Roby. The ceremony over, I withdrew, making a how to thla statuesque beauty. Sounds of sweet voice of a girl struck my ear. They were sing ing a beautiful song, Umbilla Ny one me Koka N’gala. White ►kd from over the sea. That of course was meant for me. I was the first white man ever permitted to Join. Whether becoming a member was a benefit to me I leave you to Judge by what took place afterwards. The power of I saga extends from Ash an tee to the Congo, perhaps further. Every country has a differnt name for it yet the formatlbn and re ligious rights are the same. On reaching the large hut where t was staying I had a good talk with the old chief who told me I must always be kind to my comrades of the same creed. If at any time I was in need I was always to lay my troubles before Izaga who would always make things right, give m*> peace of mind at all times, and help me in all my troubles. I thank ed him and after giving him a few nice presents of merchandise I withdrew saying, Dwana ta so Ogot (Rest in peace, my relative), Death For Health. I rose early next morning os was my usual custom and was soon in the main river. Here We passed a small flett of the N'comis who were taking salt, they had made near the sea. This they traded with slaves nt Samba Falls far up the big river called Angoni. They stopped for a few minutes’ conversation, and then went on their way. I orten mst these men afterwards at Samba Fall*, a large slave market. Nobody was al lowed to pass Samba Falls. This town was inhabited by EvUiea and Evetjas. Next we passed a large canoe be longing to Chief Isogl, the melan choly chief. They had on board a young woman who had been found guilty of bewitching Chief leogi. They were taking her for execution to the tsmple of the EvUiea which I had just left. She was sitting up right. and looked quite resigned to her fate, which was certain. There was one more skull to be added to the temple. (To be continued.) "There's no unemployment In Soviet Russia"—and neither to there any in the army or the penitentiary. —Detroit Free Press.
