Tukili had defeated his adversary, and Tukili was no exception to the general rule, and from being a fairly well-disposed king, amiable too amiable as we have shown and kindly, and just, he became of a sudden a menace to all that part of Sanders' territory which lies between the French land and the river.
Thus he took to himself the air and title of conqueror with as little excuse as a flamboyant general ever had. Had it occurred on the river, this warlike expedition must have attracted the attention of Sanders. The natural roadway of the territory is a waterway. Tukili himself heard nothing of the army that was being led against him until it was within a day's march of his gates.
She offered little opposition to being carried away to the Isisi city when she discovered that her life would be spared, and possibly was no worse off in the harem of Tukili than she would have been in the hut of the poor fisherman for whom her father had designed her. A few years before, such an incident would have passed almost unnoticed.
Ill fortune was it for one Fimili, a straight maid of fourteen, beautiful by native standard, who was in the forest searching for roots which were notorious as a cure for "boils" which distressed her unamiable father. Tukili saw the girl and desired her, and that which Tukili desired he took.
Tukili, the chief of the powerful eastern island Isisi, or, as it is contemptuously called, the N'gombi-Isisi by the riverain folk, went hunting one day, and ill fortune led him to the border of the Ochori country.
