again. Therefore, at the same time I leaned my gun and the poisonous cudgels on the tree under which I was going to fight him. After that I told him loudly and without fear that he should come along and I was ready to fight with him and he came to me with the intention that he would easily kill me within a few seconds.
We first wrestled for about fifteen minutes. And each time that he was flinging me away with great anger, to his surprise, I was standing up and gripping him before my feet were touching the ground. He raised me very high and he flung me to a rock, with the intention that I would die at the same time, but I hastily held his big goitre when I was about to hit that rock, but both of us were slightly hit the rock instead, of course none of us had any injury. Within a few minutes we had scatteredaway all the dried leaves and refuses of that spot with our feet. After a while I became tired but “obstacle” did not. When I had no more power I loosened both my hands away from his body by force and then I ran to where I leaned the gun and I shot him unexpectedly. But to my surprise and fear was that my “shakabullah” gun simply sounded—“shaka—bul—laha” but I saw no where the gun-shots hit him.
When he saw that I shot him, he stood on one place, he was looking and laughing at me and this showed me that he was thinking in mind that I believed my gun was a harmful thing which could harm him, because he looked at the gun as if it was a mere stick. Again, as he was still looking on, I ran to the tree on which I leaned the two poisonous cudgels, I took one and with all my power I beat “obstacle” with it, for I thought the poison of this cudgel would kill him. But to my surprise this cudgel simply broke into several pieces instead to kill or make him powerless, and he was still greatly laughing at me.
When I believed that my gun and the poisonous cudgel could not do anything to “obstacle” then I sat down on the prop of the tree under which we were fighting. I was thinking how to safe myself from him. Although I still had many kinds of the charms or incantations in my mind but my mind was not at rest this moment to remember any of them. As I was still resting and thinking what to do again, he ran to me and he cut away my left foot unexpectedly. When he cut it off I fell down at once and I was crying loudly for pain. As I was doing like that and blaming myself that if I had known I should had not come to the Jungle of the Pigmies, he came and stood at my front. After he listened to what I said he bursted into a great laugh which lasted for about thirty minutes. At last when I could no longer bear the pain I shouted greatly for help because I believed that within a few minutes I might die.
To my surprise I hardly shouted for help when I saw thatmany pigmies like this “obstacle” gathered round me. But instead to help me fight him, all of them were laughing at me and were telling him repeatedly to cut my head away as well, but luckily he told them that he would not do so because he wanted to take me to their town. Having explained like that he simply picked up my left foot which he had cut away, he touched it with the remaining stump and to my surprise both were joined together at once as if it was not cut away before and I felt no pain again.
After he did so he wanted to take me to their town, for he thought I had already entirely powerless. But when I believed that once he took me to their town, there I would remain throughout my life time. Then I held the tree under which we were fighting with all my power. He was pulling me with all his power but I did not loose my hands away from this tree. As he was trying hardly to take me away it was so I was shouting greatly that you would not take me away and he too was saying that at all costs he would take me away. And as both of us were pulling each other to and fro in a very rough way, and it was like that we were doing until when he overpowered me. But
