Thehuts here are still round and the people practically nude but the customof wearing beads has disappeared and very few are painted. There is a bright moon which acts here as a clock by night as the sundoes by day. As the latter passes practically straight overhead it isastonishingly easy to tell the time within half an hour after a verylittle practice. It is more difficult to use the moon as the point ofthe hour-hand and requires some care. This, however, is the only meansthe sentry has of de...termining 5 a. M. When we wish to be roused for hecould not read a watch. We start again at daylight and ascend the river to Voro where we landwith all baggage for the rapids here are so strong that it is necessaryto walk for several miles. We therefore start in a procession of morethan one hundred people along a narrow foot-path while the crews take upthe empty canoes. The guide leads and I follow next, hoping to shoot anygame that may exist in the neighbourhood before it is disturbed by thebearers.
