"I tried to draw the chieftainess from the shelter of the guarded kraal by giving a flim show with portable cinema apparatus.
Three thousand natives gathered to watch the first film of their lives. I waited for the white chieftainess. There was a deatblike silence as three black handmaidens walked down and said the chieftainess would see the show, but only from the dark interior of the kraal.
HOPING TO SEE HER
"I stayed several days, hoping to see her, but I saw only her kinsmen, who had European features, with nose and lips clean-cut, and some with grey eyes.
"The story is that a native chief abducted a white woman. When he died there was no heir, so the white woman became the chieftainess."
Mr. Ballenden trekked through hundreds of miles of mountainous country for his objective. As he approached with presents, priests of the chieftainess closed round the hut and forbade his advance.
