TRAVELETTE

By NuIsAH

y OLD and gray are the waters
which Lake Tchad spreads over
~ the Iowlands OF central Africa.
The traveller in Afrcia finds the mys-
terry Of the dark continent more
haunting and unfathomable here than
in the battling mazes OF the jungle
or in the silent smile OF the sphinx
Heavy winds toss the shallow waters
about and whisper their secrets
through the reeds. But the lake makes
no answering condolences. 1t stretch
es on and on. measuring its miles OF
surface in sweeping wave lengths.
AS Tar as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line OF the gray
eNpanse is broken by slender Islands
bearing up few round topped ma
tive huts, outlined dimly against the
skyline. The effect is that of a paint
ing seen through gray glasses. reduc-
ing the whole to low kew. II is in
the grayness that the lakes effect OF
mystery lies, the grayness that hovers
dull and cherries over the waving
reeds
The traveller gazing across Lake
Ichad for the first time feels the
thrill Of discovery. The knowledge
that he is not the first TO stand upon
the banks does not disDel the feeling
OF entering the most shut off place in
central Africa.
The natives Of the surrounding
country reverence the mysterious lake
and its island inhabitants. They be-
lieve that a great snake lives below
the lakes surface and commands the
worship Of the race Of island dwell
ers. Some even think that these snake
worshippers live within the lake. The
island folk are doubtless glad Of a
legend which protects them from at
tack so effectively. Unfortunately for
them, foreigners are not so EullibIe
and adventurous travellers are the
more eager to push on TO the lake
after hearing the warnings Of the
fear gfruc1- maffr-ae
