Jordan - There was at one time a native republic between Uganda and the Belgian Congo where the askaris never patrolled. It was made up of outcasts from the tribes, army deserters, petty criminals. It was a good country to hunt in, but the natives did not welcome you. But a Scots hunter called Gordon went up there, and they caught him. They stripped him and spreadeagled him between two posts, and they flayed his back with rhino whips. Then they were frightened by what they had done and they let him go. They should not have let him go, for he came back to Nairobi and hired some Somalis and armed them with old Sniders, and he went back to that republic and killed everyone he could find and burnt their villages. The Belgians and the British put a price on his head. The askaris found his camp, and he was shot as he ran for the bush.
