in the 1934 Report on the Sudan. Among the incidents dealt with are:

The kidnapping of eight Sudan subjects by an Abyssininn

brigand;

An armed encounter between an Arab Corpa patrol and penchera from over the border; and

The planting of the Abyssin- ian flag. by an invading chief- tain 30 miles within the Sudan frontier.

On January 26, states the ro port, news was received that Dedjasmatch Yahia Awad, a notorious frontier brigand who had been the subject of frequent representations to the Abyssinian Government, had kidnapped eight Sudan subjects and carried them off to rebuild his house at Abdel Rafi, which lies two miles within the Abyssinian border..

"Representations at Addis Ababa resulted In prompt measures being taken for his arrest, and, though Dedjasmatch Yahin suc- ceeded at frat in evading the Ethiopian officer sent for this pur- pose, he was apprehended in March and removed to Debra Tabor.

9 Months In Prison

"He remained in custody until the end of the year, awaiting a meeting between Sudan and Ethiopian representatives to in- vestigate the charges of which he

was accused."

At the end of February, the report continues, a patrol of the Eastern Arab Corps encoun- tered a party of armed Abys- Hinlan poachers on the River Atbara.

On being summoned to Bur- render, the Abyssinians im- mediately opened fire, which was returned. One Abyssinian was wounded, two others with rifles escaped, and the remain. dev surrendered.

In March the district commis- sioner paid a visit to the Boma plateau, which lies in the Upper Nile province on the borders of Abyssinia. Immediately after his departure the plateau was oc- cupied by Abyssinian troops, who remained there, despite represen tations made at Abbis Ababa, until the end of the year. "

30 MILES BEYOND FRONTIER

The British Consul for Bouth- Western Abyssinio, it is stated, "visited the Boma plateau at the beginning of December and found Kanyaamatch Ayella and a party of Ethiopian soldiers still in occu- pation. Despite the consul's formal protests, the Kanyasmatch, who stated that he was acting under instructions, followed the consul to the Beir village, of Towath and there displayed the Ethiopian flag."

The report adds that this was not taken seriously by either con- sul or natives, since Boma lles at a distance of about 30 miles in- sida the Sudan frontier as defined by the treaty of May 15, 1902. Representations were, however, made on this subject by the Bri- tah Minister at Addis Ababa to the Abyssinian Government,

It is understood that they are now seeking a bigger type of the fearsome-looking salamanders to take back to England.
