"On February 12, 1878, I heard that Torogud, the chief with whom I was very friendly, had been fighting the Kababiai people again, and that they had got five bodies, which they were going to eat next day. Previous to this I had never known of one of these cannibal feasts until it was too late to try to prevent it; but as I heard of this one soon after the people had returned, I started off early in the morning to see Torogud, and try if I could not prevail upon him to give up his bad custom.... We hurried on, and soon entered the village, evidently to the great surprise of the people. Almost the first object which we saw was the mangled body of the chief they had killed the day before, tied by the neck to a large tree in a standing position, the toes just touching the ground. This was the only body they had, as the others had been all apportioned out to the neighbouring villages of Outam.We sat down in the square, and I sent asking Torogud to come, which he did in a short time. I then talked to him earnestly and kindly, and begged him to bury the bodies, and not to allow any of them to be eaten.... After a little more talk, however, he told me that out of love to me as his friend..., he would have the man buried, whether he was paid for him or not, as he was very much concerned lest I should get ill if I sat there any longer.... I was very pleased, and, as I fully believed him, we prepared to return. I first, however, went some distance on the way to Outam, where the bodies of the five women and girls were. We met a man on the way who told us that it was no use our going there, as the bodies were already on the fire; and the strong smell was positive proof to us that he was telling the truth. I therefore decided to return, as I felt that it was well to be satisfied with the success we had achieved.... I got home very tired, but very pleased at having stopped this cannibalism.... [S]oon ..., however, one of our people came to me and said, "Did Torogud tell you that he buried that man?" To which I answered, "Yes." Then my companion gave a significant smile, and said: "Oh yes, he told you that he buried the man, and that was true; but he did not tell you that he dug him up again immediately after he had done so, and cooked him." And this I found out afterwards was actually the fact. He had kept his word to me in his own way, but had gratified his revenge and satisfied his appetite as well."
