THE EVENING NEWS
Saved From
Cannibals
By ALBERT T. KENYON
In 11)04 I waa sent by a corporation
to the Kongo Free State.
Since fir?:t Livingstone and then Stan
ley went all over Africa, each proceed
ing alone, it UU not occur to me that
I would be in danger traveling with a
party. I discovered that ihe danger
dfpeuded uiwn the kind of people 1
should full in with. One day, us we
were moving farther into the Interior
than white inw twuaBy care to po.
while passing through a negro village
we were told that if we went fur
enough in the direction, we were goltit:
we would enter a district occupied by
cannibals. But my survey would be
Incomplete without penetrating the
district we were approaching, and I de
termined to push on.
Suddenly on emerging from a forest
we came upon a large African village.
As soon as the natives saw us they set
up a howl of delight and began to close
around us. By their looks and ges
tures I knew that their joy meant that
us. Their demonstrations Demg uos
tile, we formed a circle, so that some
of us would face any quarter, and were
i inclosed in a much Inrger circle. e
cocked onr guns, waiting an onset,
believing that at the first fire we would
sratter these ignorant people, who bad
no knowledge of weapons except thore
of a primitive kind.
But they seemed to understand our
suieriority, for they were slow to ad
vance. Raising my gun. I took aim, at
a man standing before me a hundred
feet away, but did not fire till I bad
attracted the attention of many blacks.
The natives heard a crack and saw
the man 1 was pointing nt drop. This
struck terror Into them for awhile, but
finally they began to shoot arrows
among us, and thus a running fight
was kept up between us till our am
munition was exhausted. Seeing that
it waa all up with us and that I should
be obliged to rely on my wits to save
myself and my party I directed one of
my negroes to say to our enemies that
I wished to be taken before their
chief..
Wo were marched to the hut of the
ruler of these people and found him n
worthy representative of them. In
deed, he and they were about as low n
grade as I met with In Africa. I had
lived a peculiar life during my younger
days, picking up a living as best 1
could. For a time I had traveled with
a circus as a conjuror. I had no im
plements with me by which to do
tricks, but I resolved to do the best 1
could to impress this superstitious old
king with my mnrvelous gifts. I told
hini nt once I was a god and threat
ened that If he did not give me a
safe conduct out of his territory 1
would kill every one of them by magic,
tie pretended to dlslelieve me, though
I saw that he was frightened. I was
obliged to rely on sleight of hand to
Impress him with my divine power. 1
ask el him for one of the ornaments he
wore on his person, the size of a Bllver
dollar, and, placing It on the ground
before him. covered It with n huudker
chief. Then, lifting the handkerchief.
I showed htm that it had disappeared.
lie looked very much puzzled and
somewhat frightened. I asked one of
his attendants if ho felt anything' in
his ear. He said he did not. I told
ihe chief that the man was lying; 1
had sent the lost nrticle Into his head
and would pull It out through bis ear.
Approaching him, I put my hand up
to his ear and took out the ornament.
Of course I either held the thing in
the palm of my hand or in my sleeve.
While I was moving about I managed
to pick up some leaves unnoticed, and
my next evidence of my being a god
was picking these leaves out of the air.
I would run here and there, graspiug
for what the savages could not see and
every now and tbrn would appear to
t'atch one out of nothingness and hold
it up before the chief.
I acted on the. cupidity of the old ra
al as well as his superstition. We had
brought some beads and other nrtb les
with us with which to buy favors from
the natives, and I displayed the bends
before the chief. Then I contrived,
through a confederate, to drop them
under the old man's sent. After this 1
listened with my hand up to my ear as
if a spirit were talking to me and told
the chief that his mother, who had
died many years ago, had ask oil me to
?tve the beads to him. He would find
them under bis seat.
This made a more favorable Impres
dnn than any of my other divine per
formances, and I continued to listen
o the requests of his dead ancestors
ill nil our money and other article
hat we could give away had been be
itowed on the chief and his wives and
hildren. Finally, when I found that
ve were cleaned out. I wild:
'T hav done only good magic to you
o show you that I am a god, but If
.cm allow one of your people to Injure
no or mine I will call down fire from
ifHiven to destroy you and all your
KHiple
The hungry blacks who could not get
lear enough to witness my proofs of
supernatural power were meanwhile
lowling for us to eat. The chief, how
vor. feared to gratify them. He or
kred that we be conducted back from
vhenoe we had come. So I gave him
ny blessing, bid him good by and, sur--ounded
by a guard be sent to protect
we marched away. As soon as we
rot beyond his people and had dismiss
d our guards we drew long breaths of
-Hlt-f. AI! admitted that I had saved
he party from having furnished food
'or the savages.
