SI are going to kill elephants, " they all shouted. " Wo arc going to have plenty of meat to eat, " shrieked the women. So, in the evening, a war-dance took place ; a war- dance of Cannibals ! It was the wildest scene I ever saw. It was pitch-dark, and the torches threw a dim light around us, and showed the fantastic forms of these wild men. Really it was a wild scene. They were all armed as if they were going to war. How they gesticu- lated. What contortions they made ! What a tumult they rais...ed ! How their wild shouts echoed from hill to hill, and died away in the far distance ! They looked like demons. Their skins were painted of different col- ors ; and, as the dancing went on, their bodies became warm, and shone as if they had been dipped in oil. Suddenly a deafening shout of the whole assemblage seemed to shake the earth. Their greatest warrior (Leop- ard) came to dance. Leopard was, it appears, the brav- est of them all. He had killed more people in war than any body else. He had given more human food to his fellow-townsmen than many other warriors put together.
