Of the tribes are the Inglishee to which I belong, which is the most powerful of all like your own people of the Kabilagani in this land and also another tribe called the Duyche, only a little less powerful. These two tribes are now at war." "A-a-a-a," observed M'tela interestedly. "One of the Duyche is in your country, oh, King. I have met him and defeated him by my magic.
Far very far perhaps a month, who knows, is the country of the sultani M'tela. This is a very great sultani very great indeed a sultani whose spears are like the leaves of grass. His people are fierce, like the Masai, like the people of Lobengula, and make war their trade. His people are known as the Kabilagani. The way through the mountains is known; guides can be had.
He lived in the edge of a forest; his people were many; he had forty wives, and the like. Still it was far, very far. Kingozi concluded that none of these people had in person visited the Kabilagani, but were talking at second hand. And finally direct information came to him in the form of fear.
He had been sent to gain the friendship and active alliance of M'tela and his spears; and had been given carte blanche in the matters of equipment, methods, and time. Inside a year or so the International Boundary Commission would be running boundary lines through that country. Until then the Kabilagani could very well go on as they probably had gone on for the last five hundred years.
They spoke no Swahili, but at the name M'tela they nodded vigorously, and at the mention of Kabilagani they pointed at their own breasts. "I wish I had eyes!" cried Kingozi petulantly. "What kind of people are they?" The Leopard Woman told him as best she could tall, well-formed, copper in hue, of a pleasing expression, clad scantily in goat skins.
It is our business to reach M'tela and persuade him to fight on the side of the Inglishee. Is that understood?" "It is understood, bwana" said they. "But this Duyche, Bwana Nyele, is only one week's march from M'tela; and he undoubtedly has many gifts for M'tela and the Kabilagani.
