It always used to amuse me to hear Abdi calling out, "Enjani hapa, Saa Sitaa" "Come here, Six O'clock." Baa Baa was a porter who always used to sing a queer native chant in which those words were predominant. He would sing it by the hour while on the march, and before long his real name was replaced by the new one. Henceforth he will, no doubt, continue to be Baa Baa.
One porter had the eyes and expression of a young north-side girl; another had the walk and features of a prominent young Chicago man; and so on. Saa Sitaa was one of our brightest porters. His name means "Six O'clock" in Swahili, six o'clock in the native reckoning being our noon and our midnight. Just why he was given this significant name I never discovered. Perhaps he was born at that hour.
