To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The " devil " is dressed entirely in black, and no portion of her body is visible under the thick fibrous matting, giving her the appearance of a shaggy, hairy animal. The head and eyes are hidden by a hideous mask of stained wood. One of her attendants, called the digba, carries a large mat by which the devil is completely hidden when she sits down, thus enabling her to remove the heavy head-dress without disclosing her identity. The " medicine " which the devil is supposed to have at her comm...and is much feared, and no man who has transgressed a Bondu law, and is pointed out by the devil, dare refuse to follow her, and to pay the fine or other penalty which his headman metes out. A flogging is one of the penalties inflicted for leading a Bondu girl astray. When a weird sound reverberates through the forest like one long-drawn low note, gradually loudening, then gradually dying away, the Bondu bush is not far distant. The Kofung is a secret society which is very popular among the Limbas and Korankos, and also among 126 SIERRA LEONE some western tribes.
