31/31 It always used to amuse me to hear Abdi calling out, "_Enjani hapa, Saa Sitaa_"-- "Come here, Six O'clock." Baa Baa was a porter who always used to sing a queer native chant in which those words were predominant. He would sing it by the hour while on the march, and before long his real name was replaced by the new one. He was promoted from porter to camera-bearer, but one day he could not be found when most needed, and he was reduced back to the ranks. |
