Weird Congo tales of tribal tricks and a clockwork elephant
Reported travel notes from 1907 describe Bazouigo and Bakutu customs in the Congo region. The narrative includes a theft of chickens, a staged display with a clockwork elephant to deter attackers, and a dramatic escape plan that relied on illusion and fear to restore cargo and peace. The feature blends exploration lore with a vivid anecdote of ingenuity and danger. In a separate brief, Alfred Chariot Sximphee, aged 20, pleads guilty at the Northern Police Court to a theft charge from April 15 and faces restitution and possible imprisonment.
