thick forest to Bombo's village.
At was a long, weary journey, but
the natives with the teapots
rested us. We would stop around
4 ¢'clock in the afternoon for the
night as it gets. dark earlier in
the forest. The natives would fix
our camp for us. Over each fold
ing bed, they built a rough roof
of poles which they would cover
with netting to keep out all kinds
of poisonous insects. After our
‘pight’'s rest, we were ready to be
gin another day’s journey. About
noon we came to a clear opening
in the forest. This is Bombo's

| We are building Belgian Congo. i
lWe have the Congo river. Thei
l)argest and longest river in the!
lße]gian Congo is the Congo river. !
| Sometimes there are rapids in the'
river, ,
The Belgian Congo is inhabited
by the black race. They are very,‘
smart. Some of the cities of the
Congo are Leopoldville and Mu-!
‘tali. When we went to Belgian!
Congo we rode as far as New
York on the train and then board
ed a ship to go on our way to
Belgian Congo. When we landed
at Matadi we got on a train-be
cause of the rapids. After we got
over the place where the rapids
were we got on a steamship. As
we went upstream we saw’some
crocodiles lying half in and half
out of the water and they were
ready to eat anyone who was un
lucky enough to fall in the water.
Every night we stopped for fear
we might run into the river bank.
The next morning we stopped at
some trading stations., The trad
ing stations have stores and
houses. The white men run the
stores and’ are called traders.
They trade the natives salt, col
ored beads, cotton cloth, Kknives
and tolls for palm kernels. There
are the seeds or stones of the fruit
which grow on a tree called the
oil palm.
The habits of the people are dif
ferent from ours. When &hey
want to sehd a message they
pound with two heavy sticks on
a big hollow log. This is to invite
the peole of a neighbroing vil
lage to the dance. After supper
the guests arrive for the dance.
They put more wood on the fires
and the fires blaze brightly. Sev
eral men bpegin to thump on small
drums made of hollow legs with
skins tightly ~stretched over the
end. Half the people dance and
then when they are tired the
others dance. They go on this
way until it is very late, then
they go home.
i You can see they are very dif
ferent from the Americans. We

“ The children in the Belgian Con
-2o have many games. They play
tag, they fly back and forth
through the air on swings of bark
rope. They have one game that is
much like our “hide and seek”. It
is called ‘“owl and wolf”. The owl
is the boy who hides. He has te
call out now and then “Hoo! .hoo!
hoo!” The boy who catches him
is the wolf. The wolf pretends
to eat the owl, and the owl cries:
“The wolf has caught me! The
wolf has caught me!” In this
game there is owe place called
home. If the owl can get there
first, he is safe and cannot be
caught.
The children of Bombo’s village
do not play football or baseball, al
though they have balls of rubher
with which they play other games.
They have battles in which they
choose sides and throw corn. cobs
at each other. They run races
from one ant hill to another.

ery: “Moyo!” as they carry us into

through the village and all the
vards around each little hut on
either side are swept nice and
clean.
The houses are all very much
alike. They are small mud rooms
with heavy grass roofs. Most of
them have a curtain of grass mat
hung over the door.
There ig no furniture in the huts.
The beds are piles of leaves or
branches laid on the dirt floor and
covered with mats of woven grass.
Qome huts have a wooden stool.
Iron kettles and baskets hang on
the walls. Bombo and his people
only go in the house to sleep and

The women and girls do almost
all of the work. The men and boys
sit about and talk or go hunting

We are sorry because his lost ¢ol

The first permanent English set
tlement was made at Jamestown
in Virginia in 1607. Captain John
Smith did not settle Jamestown
because he was not a rich man.
Jamestown was begun in this way:
Some merchants formed a company
called the “London Compauy’.
They thought they could make
money by settling a colony in Am
erica. Captain Smith worked in
forming this compiny and was one
of the first to go. The trouble be
gan when the colonists refused to
work. Captain Smith had been a
sailor and soldier, so he was hard
and stern. He thade every man
work by refusing to give them
food unless they worked. Captain
Smith saved the colony from star
yvation. He made friends with the
Indians and persuaded them to sell
him ecorn for the starving colony.
Once some unfriendly Indians cap
tured him and would have Kkilled
him if Pocahontas, the young
daughtér of Powhatan, had not
saved him. After the Powhatan
became friendly and taught the
celonists how to live in this new
wild land.
