"Colonel von Wittman, born at Jena in 1855. Died at Ahaggar, May 1, 1896.... Colonel Wittman, the explorer of Kanem, who disappeared off Agadès." "Exactly," said M. Le Mesge again. "Number 50," I read in my turn, steadying myself against the wall, so as not to fall. "Marquis Alonzo d'Oliveira, born at Cadiz, February 21, 1868. Died at Ahaggar, February 1, 1896. Oliveira, who was going to Araouan."
When near Sockna, they met a kafila, or caravan of slaves, in which were about seventy negroes, who told them that they came from the different regions of Soudan, Begharmi, and Kanem. Those from Soudan had regular features and a pleasing expression of countenance.
Without saying a word, he lifted me like a feather out of the perfumed water, now of a color on which I shall not dwell. In no time at all, I was stretched out on an inclined marble table. The Negro began to massage me vigorously. "More gently there, fellow!" My masseur did not reply, but laughed and rubbed still harder. "Where do you come from? Kanem? Torkou? You laugh too much for a Targa."
But I'm afraid they're out of the question on account of the Bolsheviki. Besides, I'm not looking for the sort of adventure that ends between a stone wall and a firing-party. Then there are some queer emirates along the southern edge of the Sahara: Sokoto and Kanem and Bornu and Wadai.
At length they reached Lari, in the province of Kanem, the most northern part of Bornou, a place containing two thousand inhabitants, who dwell in huts constructed of rushes, with conical tops.
