We have also been busy returning visits. One day we had rice beer at the house of Sankalemba, the chief interpreter. (104) He described his visit to France with the Labour Corps in the first Great War. The Nagas were all torpedoed on their way, but were picked up, and taken to North Africa. Sankalemba related the story in a most phlegmatic way and in fact none of the Nagas, who have told us about this, seem to have been at all perturbed by their adventures. |
