When the ticket collector came round before the train started, Hamar waited, till every one else in the compartment had shown him their tickets, and then, just as the man was about to demand his, swallowed one of the prescribed pills, repeating immediately, in a loud voice, which caused considerable excitement among the other passengers, the words, "Bakra naka taksomana!"
John Waley, employed by the Brazilian Government for repairing cables, will procure these ingredients for you. To become visible, you've only to repeat the words, 'Bakra naka taksomana, backwards." "But how about my clothes?" Hamar asked. "Will they disappear too?" "Everything!" Kelson answered. "Hat, boots, tie and breeches. All you have on! Good-night!"

But we are wandering away from our black bulbuls. The hillmen call the Himalayan species the Ban Bakra, which means the jungle goat.
