CHAPTER X
47/78

There is much of the common bracken fern and hart's-tongue.

We cross one rivulet running to the Lofubu, and camp by a blacksmith's rill in the jungle.

No rain fell to-day for a wonder, but the lower tier of clouds still drifts past from N.W.
I killed a Naia Hadje snake seven feet long here, he reared up before me and turned to fight.

The under north-west stratum of clouds is composed of fluffy cottony masses, the edges spread out as if on an electrical machine--the upper or south-east is of broad fields like striated cat's hair.

The N.W.flies quickly, the S.E.slowly away where the others come from.
