Jones was arranging tiny Dabney field robot-generators with tiny atomic batteries to power them. Each such balloon would be a Dabney field "plate" when cast adrift in emptiness, and its little battery would keep it in operation for twenty years or more. Baggage came up from Earth for Johnny Simms. It was mostly elephant-guns and ammunition for them.
The journey to and fro had been performed in fourteen days' actual travelling, the rest of the time being frittered away by the guides. Two hundred Turks were stationed at Gani, who were all armed with elephant-guns, and had killed sixteen elephants. On this, Speke sent a present to Kamrasi, and prepared for his departure.
Captain Burton started with two huge elephant-guns, one double rifle, one pea-rifle, one air-gun, two revolving pistols, and a cross-bow, all of which he used for display to amuse the Arabs. Sukuma means north, and the Wasukuma are consequently northmen, or northern Wanyamuezi. Barsati a coloured cloth. Kiniki a thin indigo-dyed cloth. Boma a palisade.
Considine and Rivers showed that their spirits were deeply stirred, by the flash of their ever-roving eyes, the tight compression of their lips, the flush on their brows, and the position of readiness in which they carried their guns elephant-guns, by the way, lent them by their Dutch friends for the occasion.
The jemadar of the guard said he commanded two hundred Turks, and had orders to wait for me, without any limit as to time, until I should arrive, when Petherick's name would be pointed out to me cut on a tree; but as no one in camp could read my letter, they were doubtful whether we were the party they were looking out for. They were all armed with elephant-guns, and had killed sixteen elephants.
