"High up where the cold grey wastes guard the mountain slopes of Mikeno and Alumbongo there lives the gorilla, that hairy ape of which strange tales are told. Snatching screaming women from the beds of terrified husbands; mating with humankind to bring into the world creatures half beast, half man; kidnapping black boys to rear in the manner of mountain marauders - these are some of the stories told of the little-known gorilla. All bosh, of course, but there is some source from which these persistent fancies originate. . ."
