LAND OF MYSTERY •
Discovery i;, Niceria of "The Seem)

just m le ` y illy P y Talbot,
Arnalu •
J
111 1C 1 L what, is
a District C o mt,:si_h e i n
known as the • ;'acred Lake of Life,"
on which, according to popular belief,
the existence of a hundred thousand
people depends.
When, some months ago, Sir. Talbot
returned from extensive travels in un-
known parts of Nigeria, he announced
as one of the most interesting dis-
coveries the finding of the Lake of
Dead in the Oban country This he
visited after great difficulty, and in
spite of the fact that porters and car-
riers refused to proceed to the dread-
ed spot. The scene about the lake,
he said, was full of mystery and dread.
The surface of the water was ab-
solutely still, and round about were
len-feet high bushes, bearing what
looked like great tufts of creamy
flowers. These, however, proved to
be nests of tree frogs. The, place
was a sanctuary for all wild things,
for no hunter would dare to penetrate
the bush to this fearsome place.
Hither, the natives believed, came by
night the ghosts of long dead Ekoi,
to drift in sad companies, hopeless
and waiting, over the surface of the
water. On Mr• Talbot's return to
Nigeria he found that the news of the
discovery of the Lake of the Deacl
had brought to light the fact that an-
other sheet of water to which mys-
terious powers were ascribed existed
In the neighborhood of lkot-Oho, the
chief town of the Ibibios, and one
afternoon Mr. Talbot and Mr. Eakin,
accompanied by Mrs. Talbot and her
sister, set out to endeavor to locate it.
Hitherto the knowledge of the lake
had been kept a jealously guarded
secret from all Europeans, and not
even the natives, with the exception
of the high priests, bad been allowed
to approach the sacred water—the
greatest dwelling -place of the g deity y
of the race. Access to the lake was
through a sacred grove so cunningly
contrived that a stranger might pass
within a few yards, yet never find
the holy pool. D'£r. Talbot and his
party, guided to the spot, found that
the water was full of (eat fish, on
the welfare of which depended the
life of the Ibibio race. The fish Were
so tame that they fed from the hand
of the reigning high priest, the only
native human being allowed to look
upon the water. Formerly many vice
thus were manually sacrificed here,
though at the p'r'esent day Human ;
life ,vas not permittees to be taken.
