    At M’eta, German East Africa, a native who, like all those belonging to the tribe of the Waluguru, regarded snake flesh as a special delicacy found a huge boa constrictor lying in the middle of a field. He confided the discovery to one or two others and arranged with them to kill it during the hours of darkness, so that they might enjoy the delicacy together. Toward nightfall the man, armed with a stick, attacked the huge serpent. The boa constrictor, aroused from its apparent stupor, suddenly seized the unhappy negro and slowly crushed him to a pulp and then gradually swallowed him.
