Caves of Mokana in Congo Reported by Lieut Corokel
Brussels says Lieut. Leon Corokel of the Congo state troops located the caves of Mokana in the Lufira valley area between the Djuo falls and surrounding mountains. The caverns, some two miles long, are said to be inhabited by savage people and emit smoke from fires making inspection difficult. Corokel faced hostility from the district after offerings failed.
