The rebels in their three stations, Fabbo, Faloro, and Farragenia number about 600, exclusive of armed Baris. "I have with me 146 men, including officers. Should I raise the whole country, the difficulty would be to prevent the natives from exterminating Abou Saood and the whole of his forces. Should such an event occur, how should I be able to occupy this extensive country with so small a force?
I now learnt that the Baris of Gondokoro had imagined that the greater portion of the troops had gone to Belinian for an excursion of some days; they had accordingly beaten their big drums and gathered together from all quarters to attack the camp, but discretion overcame their valour when they found a large force still at head-quarters.
The Baris of Gondokoro had regained their cattle, and they did not trouble themselves about their contract, as they inwardly hoped that by starving us they might succeed in disgusting the troops, which would necessitate the abandonment of the expedition.
The wounded horsekeeper could manage to walk forward. There is a peculiar bird in the forests of Unyoro which utters a shrill cry, with these notes. The natives imitate this cry with their whistles of antelope's horn. I had noticed that previous to an attack from an ambuscade, we had always heard the call of this bird. My Baris declared that the bird warned us of the danger, and cried, "Co-co-me!
The Baris are not good hunters, and they merely catch the elephants in pitfalls; therefore, being free from attack, these animals are exceedingly daring, and easy to approach. The trees, if of medium size, are frequently torn down for the sake of this small production, that would appear too insignificant for the notice of so huge an animal.
Another rapid movement and a pompous gold watch is thrust before the bewildered gaze of his listener. "From my bubils in Baris! I am bianist I am here to blay!" And raking his fingers through his long locks, he stares defiantly around him. Mr. Rush-Marvelle is a little frightened. This is an eccentric personage he must be soothed. Evidently he must be soothed!
The Baris now opened fire upon us from their villages, from which they were driven in succession, until no enemy remained to oppose us except those upon the high ground. Our right was now protected by an exceedingly deep ravine, which was a watercourse cut by the torrents from the mountain.
You haf not been in Baris until now? 'I got here this morning, Paul answered. 'I am here four tays, said Darco. 'I shall be here four tays longer. I am puying a gomedy, ant a blay in five agds. 'Buying? said Paul 'I thought the one recognised custom was to steal' 'That's a vool's game, Darco declared. 'If you sdeal, and if what you sdeal is worth sdealing, anypoty can sdeal from you.
They were stealthily approaching for the purpose of occupying their positions for concealment. These wily Baris imagined that we were, as usual, keeping on the alert around the camp, but they had no idea that the leopard was himself so near the hidden snare.
This was just the work that the Baris understood, as their position enabled them to fight unseen among the numerous stockades and high rocks clothed with bush. The bullets were whistling merrily, and presently a soldier by my side was shot through the fleshy part of the hip. I examined him, and saw that the bullet bad passed through, therefore he continued firing.
