"Then we remain in camp five days," they concluded, after working out the subtraction. "But," intervened one of the porters, "we have no more potio." "I have the bwana's gun," Simba pointed out, "and also the gun of this m'zungu. There is here plenty of game." "To eat meat always is not well," grumbled the porter.
"Whoever it is will be a nuisance a damn nuisance!" he concluded. "N'dio, bwana," came Mali-ya-bwana's cheerful response to this speech in a language strange to him. "You have asked a true question," Kingozi shifted to Swahili. "Where is potio to be had for so large a safari? Trouble much trouble!" He arose from the flat stone. "We will go and talk with this safari."
It has tents and potio, and chakula , and blankets and beads and wire and many other things to a quantity impossible to say. And it came to my mind that shenzis like these things, as do all men, and that in this shenzi country my bwana might make use of them; so I brought them with me for your use, bwana." "You had no trouble bringing this great safari?" asked Kingozi.
It is difficult to feed so many peacefully. Even in a rich country they bring in potio slowly a cupful at a time. With the best intentions in the world you may have to use coercion to keep from starving. And coercion means trouble. Look at Stanley he left hostilities everywhere, that have lasted up to now.
"Nevertheless," said Mali-ya-bwana, who as co-leader was privileged to more open speech, "potio and meat are better than meat only." Simba looked at him inquiringly. "You have a thought?" Mali-ya-bwana leaned forward. "It is this: If the bone has such great magic that thus we can take prisoner a mighty bwana like this, surely it is powerful enough to fight also against safari men."
They were thrown down pellmell, anyhow; so that Kingozi concluded they had been surreptitiously thrown away, and not temporarily abandoned with intent to return for them. After that the trail resembled the traces of a rout. Every few yards now were the evidences of desperation: loads of potio, garments, water bottles emptied and cast aside in a gust of passion at their emptiness.
