King Mombo

By Paul B. Du Chaillu

Recounting his adventures in the great African forest the author declares that he could write many more volumes dealing with the wild men and "savage tribes" which he encountered there. In describing the manners a type of a primate the natives called "ngina," which later fought several of his dogs, the author writes: "He gives yell after yell, roar after roar, until the whole forest is filled with the din of his big voice. Then he comes forward, walking erect, and roaring all the time. Sometimes the yell resembles that of an angry dog, though a hundred times louder. His big vindictive gray eyes look his antagonist straight in the face, glaring vengeance. The hair on the top of his head moves up and down, and the hair on his body stands erect. Then he beats his chest with his huge and powerful hand.
