Daamba People Exchange and Eat
Each Others Children.
We found the Baamba people-,he
forest dwellers--very friendly and
we'll disposed toward the British. a
writer In the Wide World says. Their
villages consisted of few well.built
huts surrounded by thick underground.
Paths lead from village to village.
passing through each In succession.
The entrance and exit Of each village
are In the form of porches. that are
so low that one has almost to crawl
to get through. These openings are
blocked by logs OF wood, to prevent
the entry OF a stranger, and the ground
Is studded with sharply pointed stakes.
to deter unwelc0me visitors from at.
tempting to enter the village. Con.
slant fights take place between village
and village, and It Is customary that
these shall not cease until each bellig
erent has an equal number Of killed.
During these wars. which are carried
on with much blowing Of trumpets.
conferences are held from time to
time between the leaders to compare
their respective losses and to decide
when peace shall be declared. The
Baamba are cannibals to man. and
eat the bodies OF their dead enemies.
The parents will actually sell or ex.
change their children that they may
be eaten. Our men got on very we'll
with the Baamba. One Of our native
constabulary was slightly wounded In
the wrist by Baamba arrow, but the
behavior Of the forest tribes had been
so good on the whole that no notice
was taken of this small incident.
