You will never know from the perusal of the Blue Book the true inwardness of thehappenings in the Ochori country in the spring of the year of Wish. Nor all the factsassociated with the disappearance of the Rt. Hon. Joseph Blowter, Secretary of State for theColonies.We know (though this is not in the Blue Books) that Bosambo called together all his pettychiefs and his headmen, from one end of the country to the other, and assembled themsquatting expectantly at the foot of the little hillock, where sat Bosambo in his robes ofoffice (unauthorized but no less magnificent), their upturned faces charged with pride andconfidence, eloquent of the hold this sometime Liberian convict had upon the wayward andfearful folk of the Ochori.Now no man may call a palaver of all small chiefs unless he notifies the government of hisintention, for the government is jealous of self-appointed parliaments, for when men meettogether in public conference, however innocent may be its first cause, talk invariably driftsto war, just as when they assemble and talk in private it drifts womanward.And since a million and odd square miles of territory may only be governed by a handful ofragged soldiers so long as there is no concerted action against authority, extemporized andspontaneous palavers are severely discouraged.
