There is passage In one Of the
ancient Arab histories to the effect
that "the white people come from the
other side Of the sea-" This statement
has become so distorted among Ger.
tain tribes OF natives Of the Sudan
that they believe that the white men
come from the bottom of the sea. A
willy Arab leader once informed his
followers that they had nothing to
fear from the white men, as they
could not live away from the water.
The fact that high official took his
bath daily was further considered con.
firmatory evidence Of the submarine
origin OF the white man. The Arabs,
In order to retain their influence over
the natives, spread broadcast the re-
port that the white men were cannl
balls. The fact that they did not eat
black men was explained as due to
their devilish cunning. They wanted
to make themselves strong in the
country before beginning their horrid
practices, but as they could not alto
gether do without this kind OF food
they brought human flesh with them
In cans. In west Africa French ex.
pedition had the unfortunate expert
ence OF finding a portion Of human
fnger-cut of. no doubt, by some ac-
cident-in csn Of meat. Here was
fresh and conclusive confirmation of
the story. In which the people had al
D1st ceased to believe, and 1t was
only after a considerable lapse Of time
that the idea was at length eradicated.
