As she recovered she took my hand and placed it, on her head as a sign, I supposed, that she was much obliged to me for saving her. I tried to make out whether the girls belonged to King Sanga Tanga's village. When I mentioned his name they all clapped their hands and pointed to the girl whom they called Iguma.
That state, embracing the greater part of what we know as Central India, was thus independent at the accession of Akbar. So likewise was Khándesh: so also were the states of Rájpútána. These latter deserve a more detailed notice. The exploits of the great Sanga Ráná have been incidentally referred to in the first chapter.
Cockshut to Sanga Glass, at last delivered to that gentleman; and down he came, in a state of considerable astonishment, not unmixed with alarm, for no white man of any kind had been across from the Ogowe for years, and none had ever come out at N'dorko. Mr.
The mother of Sanga, secretary to Clement VII, poisoned her son's mistress, who was a woman of this kind. Unfortunately the son died too, as well as a party of friends who had eaten of the poisoned salad. Next comes, not as helper, but as competitor to the witch, the magician or enchanter 'incantatore' who was still more familiar with the most perilous business of the craft.
There must be rivers to the north of us, and if we could once get to the banks of one of them, we could make our way down to the sea in a canoe.

Ignorant of my morning's private work, Hotaloya swore that it was Sanga- Tanga.
The compensation to Germany for her agreement to "put no hindrances in the way of French administration" and for the "protective rights" she recognizes as "belonging to France in the Shereefian Empire" was the cession by France to Germany of a large portion of her Congo territory in mid-Africa, with access to the Congo and its tributaries, the Sanga and Ubangi.

"Berry good reason for not saying No," observed Aboh. He forthwith addressed the king in due form.
But it was evidently hopeless to seek for the "ole man" in these parts, and I had long been anxious to see Sanga- Tanga; we therefore agreed nem. con. to set out before dawn on the next day.
