As for the drive itself, it was usual for a number of the hunters to take up their position in the trees at the very start, the remainder of the party then setting about driving the animals towards them. Strangely enough, Cardinall states that “children and youths went out to meet the elephants” 96 . The Elgeyo, however, employed and entirely different method. The entire hunting party began by trying to surround the elephants, and only when they had succeeded in rounding them up within so small a space that no elephant was able to slip through, “the people to leeward climbed trees”. It was Fig. 5. Elephant-spears; a) Mpapua, b) Wassukuma, c) Banyoro (Lindblom). down-wind that the elephants then attempted to break through, in doing which many of them were killed or wounded. In the meantime the rest of the hunters made haste to climb up trees in case some elephant or other would seek to escape “by the back-door” 97 . Most original was the method employed by the Pangwe: “A forest vine wich is known to be excessively repulsive to the elephant is drawn around then when they are busily engaged in browsing, and, so long as they are not injured, they will not break over it. A fence of upright posts is constructed outside of the vine, to give the enclosure additional security. Poisoned plantains are scattered over the ground, and are greedily devoured, and in a short time the animals become so much weakened by their effect that they are prepared to make very little resistance. 95 Roscoe: The Bakitara, p. 316. 90 Ibid., p. 91. 97 Massam: Ibid., p. 251.
