"In some part of the Mongalla, the ancient traffic in slaves for the shambles flourishes unhindered. At the village called Bokanga, near the mouth of the Mongalla River, we were well aware that scores of slaves were being sold to supply meat to the people on the other side of the river. They were smuggled up a small creek called the Dolo, in the neighborhood of which the consumption of man-meat was said to be enormous. Neither the State nor the companies use their Albinis [rifles] for the purpose of suppressing the traffic; the Albinis are in Africa to "produce" rubber, and for little else."
