Seven years have been enough to
work complete ruin. Villages have
grown fewer and farther between. tn ,
plantations have disappeared. the
goats ana poultry have been extermi-
mated. AS for the natives, they were
broken down by incessant toll, for
which they were not paid, and were
robbed OF even tire time TO SOW their
crops. They saw disease come and take
up its abode with them, saw famine
stalk their land, saw their numbers
grow less and less.
And yet they are descended from &.

ana fatigue. Neither raids by tho
Hnoussi nor perpetual internal dissci.
slons could destroy them. Their family
name was guarantee Of their vital

not Bandas mean nets? For it is with
nets that the tribe hunts in the season
