Another story this resourceful fellow told me concerning an exploit which he and a fellow I.D. man, with twenty-five of their scouts, had brought off near Arusha.

Learning from the natives that the force consisted of two German officers and about sixty Askaris, my friend determined not to send back for the column that was waiting to march from Arusha to invest the place.

In the course of his work he seized the meat-canning factory near Arusha that a certain Frau , in the absence of her husband, was carrying on.

But he cared not for her weeping, and ordered her to pack for the long journey to Arusha.
