text: It is evidence how far people go on war excursions that Anangba once captured heads from the Ao village Longmisa which is now administered. Chirongchi who went to France with the Naga Labour Corps succeeded in smuggling in his trousers from Europe to his village a rifle he picked up on the battle field. He is a cunning fellow in other ways as well and Naku can tell how Chirongchi once stole a dao from him.
