In the dense jungles and moun tain country, the Mau Mau organ ized an intricate, efficient system of "cells" on Communist lines which stretched to every Kikuyu, Embu and Mcru tribesman. Among the whites, guns ap- peared on every hip and in every I woman's handbag. On the farm the settlers' homes became fort resses, somo, wilh watchtowers and machineguns. But it was not enough. The Mnu Mau were sworn to kill the whites and they did. James . MacDougall, who came to Kenya in 1906, trusted his native Region (Ilend Bulletin ricture) servants. He never locked his doors and windows. Nine killers broke and surrounded him in his wheelchair. Arthritis prevented his moving. In cold blood, they hacked him and burned his body. Family Killed The Meloncellis, an Italian fam ily, lived in a house surrounded by bush country. Meloncclli was at i the saw mill one morning when 20 Mau Mau attacked the house. His wife was shot and chopped to pieces. The terrorists searched the house and killod their 15-year-1 old daughter and lO-year-old son.l The children had arrived only 10 days before. J Only this April, two schoollmys, Geoffrey Dahy and Christopher Twohey, innocently 'but foolishly strolled through the veld on the outskirts of Nairobi hunting pig eons. Their airgun attracted the Mau Mau. The boys were sur rounded and butchered.
