Excerpt from Chapenga's White A Story of Central Africa
This story might just as well be called Beck ford's Enfant Terrible,' or 'imp of Darkness,' for that matter, seeing that Chapenga was known to his master's friends by both these titles indifferently. But while plenty of people can be found to relate it from Beckford's point of view or that of his friends, the other side of the case is not so well represented, and it seems only fair to give Chapenga a chance. Chapenga's nationality is more or less a matter of conjecture. Beckford himself, un certain whether the boy was a Konde, Wanda, Henga, or something else, called him compre hensively a North Ender.' What seems tolerably clear is, that some time in the year 1886 a small and very skinny brown creature.
