I'm going to build you a suit out of leather for your blacksmithing activities." "Fine business, ace! Then we can save what's left of our civilized clothes for the return trip. What do we eat?" "The eternal question of the hungry laboring man! I've got a roasted bongo, a fried filamaloo bird, and a boiled warple for the meat dishes. For vegetables, mashed hikoderms and pimola greens.
Many of the inhabitants were clothed in robes of bongo, a species of cloth made from the delicate cuticle of palm leaflets, which are stripped off and ornamented with feathers. These are woven very neatly, many of them are striped, and some made even with check pattern. The pieces of cloth are then stitched together in a regular way with needles, also manufactured by the natives.
My uncle had made arrangements, I found, for starting at daybreak the next morning, and Tim was busily employed in getting the bongo the boat we had engaged ready for the voyage, and having our luggage conveyed on board.
The most potent bribe potent enough to prevail over even the stoutest conscience is a piece of blue or red cotton; but this, on account of its moral value, Miss Tinné was careful to keep exclusively for the chiefs. The journey to Bongo was rendered tedious and troublesome by the rains.
Quite a number of these species, like the sable antelope, kudu, Hunter's antelope, bongo and sitatunga are already rare, and therefore they are all the more eagerly sought. Into the fine grass-lands of British East Africa, suitable for crops and stock grazing, settlers are steadily going. Each one is armed, and at once becomes a killer of big game.
On our ultimate success in a difficult enterprise Memba Sasa set great store; and his delight in ultimate success was apparently quite apart from personal considerations. We had been hunting greater kudu for five weeks before we finally landed one. The greater kudu is, with the bongo, easily the prize beast in East Africa, and very few are shot.
That the ordinary Christian Cross should be called by the English Gipsies a trin bongo drum or the three cross roads is not remarkable when we consider that their only association with it is that of a "wayshower," as Germans would call it.
Well, you should hear Eddie tell the story of how he brought down the bull bongo with his last cartridge after all the pongos, or native bearers, had fled into the dongo, or undergrowth." "I should love to!" whispered Betty, her eyes glowing. I suppose to an impressionable girl these things really are of absorbing interest.
The fever continued its attacks after their arrival at Bongo, and, to the great sorrow of Alexina, carried off her mother. Dr. Heughlin and several of the men fell ill of it, and a general feeling of depression pervaded the encampment. Dr.
The other members of the same family of spiral-horned antelopes are the kudu, the lesser kudu, the situtunga, the nyala, the bongo, and the lordly eland, king of all antelopes in size. The kudu is largely protected in East Africa, and in my shooting experience I was not in a district where he was to be found. The same was true with respect to the lesser kudu.
