That night in the little town of M'fa there was a dance and a jubilation to celebrate the cunning of a people who had outwitted and overawed the lords of the land, but the next day came Bosambo, who had established a system of espionage more far-reaching, and possibly more effective, than the service which the Government had instituted.
He left the village of M'fa a little unhappy for the space of a day, when, native-like, they forgot all that he had said. In the meantime, up and down the river went Bones, palavers which lasted from sunrise to sunset being his portion.
"I go back to M'fa for the last palaver, and if this palaver be a bad one, be sure you shall not see my face again upon the river." Bones spoke truly, his resignation, written in his sprawling hand, lay enveloped and sealed in his cabin ready for dispatch. He stopped his steamer at a village six miles from M'fa, and sent a party of Houssas to the village with a message.
Now all the people of M'fa knew that the father of B'chumbiri and his uncle had put away the tiresome youth with his headache and his silly talk, and when there came news that the Zaire was beating her way to the village there was a hasty likambo of the eldermen. With this arrangement all agreed; for surely here was a palaver not to be feared. Bones came with his escort of Houssas.
