Among the appendices of Lord Cromer's reports on Egypt and the Soudan for 1902 la an interesting note on the religious beliefs of the tribes dwelling along the banks of the Bohr-el-Ghazal.

The Dlnka, It says, though the most difficult of all to approach on such subjects, appears to hare a most elaborate list of gods and demigods. At the head of the divine community are Deng-Dlt (Rain Giver) and Abok, his wife. They have two sons, Kur Kongs, the elder, and Gurung-Dlt, the younger, and a daughter called Al-Yak. Their devil is called L'wal Bur-rajok, and Is the father of Abok, the wife of Deng-Dit. There are other relatives also.

Their story of the origin of mankind (or it may be of the Dlnka tribe) is curious and poetical. Deng-Dit gave to his wife Abok a bowl of fat, and she and her children, softening the fat over the fire, proceeded to mold from it men and women in the image of gods. Deng-Dit warned her against L'dal (the devil), who was suspected of having evil intentions toward Deng-Dit. But Abok forgot, and with her children went to gather wood in the forest. There L'wal found the bowl, drank the greater part of the fat, and from the remainder proceeded to mold caricatures of men and women with distorted limbs, mouths, and eyes.

Then, fearing the vengeance of Deng-Dit, he descended to earth by the path which then connected it with heaven. On discovering the result of her neglect, Abok hastened to her husband, who, greatly incensed, started in pursuit of L'wal. The latter, however, had persuaded the bird Atoi-toish to bite asunder with its bill the path from heaven to earth, and he thus escaped from the divine wrath. London Telegraph.
