These are chapters nine to fifteen of a long saga about the adventures in 19th century Africa of twin English boys.

Chapter Nine - Reintroduction

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

Gambo eventually reintroduced James and John, now cleansed and redressed in their original laundered and mended clothing and freshly polished shoes, with ointment still working at repairing their bodily cuts and bites, again to the enthroned chieftain. The twins now met the bearded Arab trader for the first time because he had been afforded a place of honour, comprising a basketwork seat adjacent to that of the tribal leader.

As Gambo had returned James and John to the setting in front of the chieftain's hut, with the open area again surrounded by excited villagers, the twins had noticed that the flogging of the naked black 12 year-old had now stopped. However, the poor boy was still chained spreadeagled between the two wooden posts and was quietly sobbing.

The ravaged rear of the black boy's body was covered by a meshwork of sanguine stripes, extending from his neck to his ankles. Some droplets of blood were still running down and dripping from his badly damaged form to join the little red puddle already existent below him.

Whilst the Arab leered at James and John, with his clear interest in them evident by a lecherous licking of his lips by his own rather obnoxious manly tongue, Gambo again took up position next to the chieftain in order to translate his master's instructions to the twins. What the young black next commanded the two white boys to do completely shattered their resurgent belief that their welfare would after all be safeguarded.

"Strip again!" Gambo had once more ordered.

Chapter Ten - Striptease

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

The devastatingly disappointed twins naturally protested about the order, as well as again begged the chieftain to be returned safely to white civilisation. James even suggested that the tribal leader would probably be well rewarded for looking after the boys' welfare.

The chieftain's reaction was, however, similar to when James and John had previously uttered similar entreaties. The tribal leader at first laughed at the twins' translated words before then issuing an order, albeit not on this occasion to a grandson.

The chieftain instead commanded Gambo to elucidate to James and John that they were now tribal property, to be used as the leader saw fit. The young black was also to explain that his master had no intention of ever returning the twins to their own people but instead wished to enslave them. The customary relevant village ceremonial would be performed without further ado and, if the white boys did not co- operate, they would be severely punished. He did not have to add that an example of the dreadful nature of the penance had already been demonstrated.

On hearing the chieftain's translated words, the appalled James and John immediately realised that the order to strip was the first highly disturbing aspect of the planned ceremonial. Given the various adornments on the bodies of Gambo and the flagellated slaveboy, the twins could also guess what would form at least part of later ritual.

The first instincts of James and John were now to look around in order to see if there was any chance to flee the scene. However, they were virtually surrounded by crowds of black villagers, with some of the tribal warriors still brandishing spears and equipped with other deadly weaponry, such as knives. The twins quickly appreciated that they had no chance of escape.

The twins therefore simultaneously concluded that, as they did not want to be flogged, they had no other choice than to submit to the ceremonial. James' confirmed his summation to his brother by whispering "I don't think we've any alternative option, John, so we'll have to co-operate." His sibling displayed his agreement by nodding his head.

As a consequence of their reluctant but sensible conclusion and after hearing another, this time more forceful and threatening command from Gambo to "Strip or be stripped and then beaten," James and John again advanced their now tremulous fingers towards the buttons on their jackets. The twins subsequently shed their clothing in the same order that they had followed earlier but with even greater shy slowness, to which few of the more lecherous observers objected, being instead rather libidinously entertained by the gradual striptease.

James and John also decided not to discard their underpants at the same time as their trousers. As a result, the twins eventually found themselves standing before the crowded assemblage attired only in their white cotton undergarments, which resembled shorts with flies.

The clinging tightness of this underwear had been considerably embarrassingly exacerbated by the recent shrinking of the cotton after exposure to seawater. The highly attractive currently covered curves of the twins' bottoms were accordingly nicely highlighted, as was the bulge at the front, which accurately outlined the shape of their hidden genitalia.

Given the very public setting, James and John again hesitated to remove the final covering to their private parts. Consequently, the chieftain decided to help them overcome their obvious shyness by demonstrating another possible punishment for lack of co-operation. The tribal leader initiated the show by issuing another order to his senior grandson.

This 30 year-old black man subsequently returned to the boy whom he had earlier flogged, with his crop again in his hand, but, on this occasion, he took up position in front of the 12 year-old. The chieftain's grandson then reactivated the child's shrieking by aiming several hard blows from his leather implement onto his young victim's nicely dangling scrotum.

The relevant message was clear to James and John, whose pretty faces immediately turned bright red as they quickly lowered their underpants to the ground and then stepped out of the discarded attire, which they threw on top of the nearby pile of already shed garments. The surrounding villagers loudly cheered their appreciation of their resulting first-ever sight of beautiful young naked white boys, who were desperately trying to hide their most private parts with their hands, whilst blushing intensely and standing dejectedly in front of the chieftain in utter degradation and shame.

The villagers, of course, also appreciated something else of which James and John were not aware. They knew that the twins and their clothes had been washed and repaired as much as possible, and the boys subsequently allowed to redress, only so that the 11 year-olds could later publicly strip in a symbolic act.

The symbolism related to the concept that James and John, readied as pristinely as circumstances allowed, were shamefully submissively depriving themselves forever of the clothing of their own white race at the behest of the black chieftain, to whose will they were thereby demonstrating complete subjugation.

Chapter Eleven – Scrutiny

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

The ability of James and John to hide their genitalia manually was quickly ended when Gambo next commanded "Put hands on head!" Further hesitation on the part of the twins followed until the sound of another whoosh, as a crop again flew through the air to strike young sexual organs of a black hue, and accompanying agonised shriek from behind, as the leather hit target, quickly terminated such resistance to the order.

Consequently, James and John were soon shamefully standing before the crowded assembly of black villagers and their solitary Arab guest in complete nudity and with their lovely genitalia fully exposed to view. There was now a renewed silence, interrupted only by the distant sounds of birds and grasshoppers, and the occasional ominous roar from the surrounding dense jungle, as the first-time scrutinisers of young delectable white bodies feasted their eyes on the boys' forms.

What these scrutinisers saw were two virtually matching white boys of remarkable physical perfection, which was temporarily marred only by a few little cuts and bites. Unlike many 11 year-olds, neither James nor John possessed bodies or limbs that were awkwardly skinny or plump. Their young forms were instead of essentially faultless proportion, and not spoilt by any tan-lines whatsoever because of their previous avoidance of exposure to strong sunlight. Consequently, their healthy and attractive creamy- pink complexions were uniform all over.

Three particular features pertaining to James and John were of special interest to those of the scrutinisers whose hidden cocks had hardened at the sight of the pair of young delicious white nudes, including the chieftain and his Arab guest. First were the boys' sublime but currently blushing faces, bejewelled by dazzling blue eyes and crowned by neatly trimmed straight but silky blonde hair. Second were their smooth hairless genitalia, which were perfectly sized in relation to the rest of their bodies, with slender flaccid uncut penises resting atop delightfully rotund scrotums. Third were their nicely curvaceous and literally outstanding bottoms, whose creamy lustre positively invited attention.

As previously in the privacy of the small hut, Gambo proved that he was not immune to the attractive sight of the naked James and John. The flap of his minuscule sole cover had again risen outwards and upwards in reaction to the development of his own erection underneath. At such embarrassing times, the black boy wished that his tiny attire had the integral thong possessed by the similar but more comprehensive garments of the villagers, which, unlike his, could restrain such penile phenomena from becoming too obvious and also sported flaps to the rear.

As a consequence of Gambo's excitement, most of his erect genitals were viewable from the side. However, as all eyes feasted on James and John, the aroused young black was spared the embarrassment of being noticed and causing vociferous hilarity amongst the crowd.

Partly in an effort to return from embarrassing arousal to more respectable penile flaccidity, Gambo attempted to concentrate on the instructions being passed to him by the adjacent chieftain rather than on the sight of the exceptionally beautiful James and John. Accordingly, after a decent pause to enable his master and the Arab guest to scrutinise the naked fronts of the twins, the black boy commanded the young whites "Still with hands on head, turn to your right so that mighty chieftain can check side profile!"

James and John were now so thoroughly humiliated that they just wanted to end their current shameful experience as quickly as possible. The twins were therefore finally prepared to be efficiently compliant in respect of all orders, knowing that hesitation not only might be dangerous for their physical welfare, as well as for the flagellated black boy behind them, but also would only prolong their ordeal.

Consequently, James and John turned as instructed to allow the chieftain and his Arab guest to scrutinise their left profiles. After further decent pauses to permit adult eyes to feast on the fresh perspectives of gorgeous naked white boy flesh, the twins made two further clockwise turns to enable their rears and their right sides to be ogled too.

The most debasing aspect of this visual scrutiny happened when James and John were presenting their nude rears for examination. After agreeing the move with the chieftain, the eager Arab stood up from his chair and approached the twins, whilst displaying a rather noticeable bulge at the front of his rather dirty and tatty off-white ankle-length robe.

The Arab subsequently demonstrated his ability to speak the local tribal dialect when he commanded James and John, through the interpreter, Gambo, to spread their legs wide apart and bend over so that their hands clutched their shins. After the effectively traumatised twins had compliantly obeyed, they consecutively felt the man prise their bumcheeks apart so that he could check their pink sphincters. On each occasion, he subsequently relayed a few words directly to the chieftain, who laughed and commented briefly in response and apparent approval.

Gambo kindly appraised James and John of the reason behind this exercise, after which the Arab had resumed his seat. "Trader says you both still virgin," the young black advised the rather innocent twins, who did not really know what this statement meant, as they currently naively did not appreciate that their rear orifices could be invaded for sexual purposes. However, neither white boy felt inclined to seek clarification to resolve their confusion.

After James and John had finally been returned to standing before the chieftain, still with their hands obediently on their head, the tribal leader and his Arab guest began an earnest conversation. The chat was clearly about the twins because throughout the men regularly looked and pointed at the two white boys.

On this occasion, no explanation about what was going on came from Gambo, who was nevertheless clearly listening to the conversation with interest. James and John therefore remained ignorant about what was being said about them, but only temporarily for their lives now quickly took another turn for the worse.

Chapter Twelve – Toss

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

The Arab eventually produced a large gold coin from a hidden pocket in his robe. He rarely used money to buy goods, including the human type, from black Africans, who preferred to barter. However, he still carried some cash for emergency purposes.

The twins subsequently saw the Arab flick the gold high into the air before catching the coin in the palm of the same hand and quickly inverting it on top of the other. The man then looked to see what was now the upper side of the money. He then pointed and laughed at John.

The individual fates of James and John, who were so identical to each other that neither the chieftain nor his guest preferred one to the other, had been settled with the recent toss of the coin.

Chapter Thirteen – Oiling

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

James and John remained bemused for now about the fateful significance of the toss of the coin, especially after their bright minds became diverted by something else being perpetrated on their now naked bodies. Gambo had stepped off the pedestal on which the chieftain's basketwork throne was situated and had collected another pottery jar, this time from his master's hut.

Gambo returned to the twins and now instructed them to place their hands towards their sides, whilst leaving a gap between their arms and bodies. The young black subsequently dipped his fingers in the jar to smear them with some of the sweet-smelling transparent oil contained inside. He then began to rub the substance first onto James, providing a covering for all of the boy's white skin, including his face.

"Will prevent sun burning flesh and deter flies," Gambo announced in explanation, as he proceeded with his, for him, not unpleasant task. However, having earlier finally succeeded in returning his unruly cock to flaccidity, the black boy also somehow now managed to prevent a recurrence of penile growth, despite the renewed intimate acquaintance of both his eyes and fingers to the delectable forms of the white twins. He achieved this remarkable feat by thinking about unpleasant matters whilst he worked, helped considerably by the sight of the poor 12 year-old still spreadeagled between the two wooden posts nearby.

Being intelligent, the chieftain and his people recognised that the delicate white skin of James and John could not tolerate exposure to the hot overhead sun for too long before beginning to burn. Flies and other insects were also a danger for the maintained delectable purity of the twins' pale flesh, although in the village open space such nasty creatures were strangely rare compared with inside the surrounding dense forest. However, the remarkably effective herbal oil was being applied not out of compassionate consideration. Valuable property was instead being safeguarded.

James' naked body reacted, for him, unusually to Gambo's careful and gentle manual application of the herbal oil. Such response was initially most intense when the young black smeared copious amounts of the clear viscous liquid onto the lustrous curves of the white boy's bottom, including a dollop inserted onto and into his tight, recently confirmed as virginal, sphincter.

James' own slender cock began to grow hard, which the young penis had rarely done previously. The white boy and his twin brother, who were also like others of their age and race in their era in being less physically mature than their 20th and 21st century counterparts, had not yet discovered the joys of masturbation or indeed any other sexual activity.

The cocks of James and John had occasionally hardened before, mainly when they had been in the communal baths with their fellow preparatory school pupils. However, the twins had not yet connected their still rather innocent excitement at often on such occasions taking the opportunity to frolic daringly in the nude with their friends with the penile phenomenon. Naturally, such naivety would end soon, although not because of their slow progress towards adulthood.

James' unruly cock eventually became fully horizontally erect when Gambo, having kept the best task for last, concluded his chore by carefully and gently oiling the boy's white genitals. The feel of the relevant young black hand comprehensively smearing his penis and scrotum with the cool liquid also caused the twin's member to quiver visibly, whilst his groin experienced peculiarly pleasurable sensations.

James' unexpected enjoyment at what should have been the highly demeaning public manhandling of his most private parts also caused him temporarily to forget the fact that many fascinated black people of both genders and all ages, plus an Arab, were watching in great interest. Additionally, the extremely aroused young white boy could not, of course, understand the laughing insult about him now expressed by the swarthy trader to the tribal chieftain.

"This white boy is a ready-made whore," the Arab had suggested to the chieftain in the local tribal dialect, "judging by that excited cock of his. I hope that his twin brother proves to be similarly sluttish!" Both men laughed at the remarks.

The chieftain and his guest later laughed again after John's genitals did indeed react in response to Gambo's expert manipulations in a similar manner to those of his already oiled twin brother, thereby realising the Arab's hopes.

Chapter Fourteen – Enslavement

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

The oil applied to the now literally dazzling naked white bodies of James and John, which positively gleamed in the bright light, dried very quickly in the extremely hot weather. However, the result was a shiny sheen that would protect their forms efficiently from the sun and insects for about a day unless washed or wiped off earlier.

On both occasions that Gambo had finished his work in respect of each individual twin, so that the peculiar tingling in their groins ceased, both unusually highly aroused white boys had at last become aware from audible chortling of the general amusement around them. They immediately astutely recognised the cause of such obviously ribald public fun, namely the sight of their erections. However, the resultant deep sense of shame quickly returned their unruly penises back to deeply abashed flaccidity.

Gambo next departed the scene only to return rapidly with two black iron collars, of the size used on younger slaves. The twins immediately realised for whom the adornments were intended and they were speedily proved right when the young black fastened them to the lithe necks of James and John, locking them in place with keys that he then handed respectively to the chieftain and Arab.

James and John were naturally perturbed by all this latest development. However, although the twins had shamefully appreciated the degrading meaningfulness of the fitting in terms of their enslavement, they had not yet recognised the significance of the splitting of the keys between the chieftain and Arab.

James and John found the applied debasing iron collars to be cool and heavy. However, the twins also thankfully noted that the demeaning adornments were sufficiently loose to permit a little growth and hopefully to prevent injurious chafing to their delicate white flesh.

Gambo next temporarily disappeared again, only this time to return swiftly with heavy iron manacles. James and John soon confirmed that these shackles were for their wrists and ankles, after the young black had locked them in place on their limbs.

Gambo subsequently chained the hands of James and John together behind their backs. The young black also manacled the twins' feet so that their legs could move no more than about two feet apart, thereby seriously hindering the ability of the white boys to walk fast.

James and John remained passively compliant throughout this seriously demeaning process despite the fact that their natural inclination was to resist the bondage being imposed on them, which by considerably restricting their movements surely ruined any realistic chances of future escape. They were simply too afraid of the potential consequences of making any attempt to defy the fitting of the heavy shackles.

After satisfying himself with the quality of his work, Gambo finally resumed his elevated place next to his master. This action actually surprised James and John.

James and John, who had momentarily forgotten their shameful state of personal public nudity because of their current mental concentration on the other sad train of events overwhelming them, which caused them momentarily to forget their immensely shameful nakedness, had anticipated other actions by Gambo. In particular, the twins thought that their genitals would now be tightly ringed and their bare bodies marked with the emblem of the tribal chieftain.

After all, the only other pair of young slaves that James and John had seen, namely Gambo and the flagellated young black boy currently located behind them, sported such adornments. The twins had therefore fully expected to be immediately subjected to the same decoration. However, it now soon transpired that Gambo first had to command them to perform acts of particularly opprobrious degradation.

"You both in turn kneel immediately in front of throne of mighty chieftain," Gambo next ordered of the now humiliatingly manacled James and John, "and kiss sacred tribal emblem at his feet as ritual indicating your acceptance of enslavement and total subjugation to his will!" The twins could not help but glance at the insignia of the leaping cheetah concerned, which was embossed into the wooden pedestal on which the man's basketwork seat rested.

James and John then glanced at each other and they instantly recognised the early opinion of the other, as their thoughts had as usual harmonised without words being necessary between them. The twins had already been subjected to so much dishonour that they now at first believed that they could submit to no more.

James and John therefore initially considered the latest demeaning command from Gambo to be one too many until they noticed that the chieftain's relative, still holding his wicked and now bloodied crop, was now standing menacingly behind them. This perception had arisen because the man had briefly rubbed his leather implement threateningly up and down each of the twin's bare bottoms.

The black Africans were fully aware that Gambo's latest command represented a defining moment in not only the enslavement ceremonial but also the lives of James and John. Obediently symbolically kneeling degradingly to kiss the embossed emblem at the chieftain's sandal-covered feet would surely indicate that any spark of defiance towards their fate, which the twins might still have left, had been squashed. The brief threatening feel of the leather crop on the lovely bare bottoms of the white boys was intended to ensure that the required outcome was achieved.

James and John were also aware of the symbolism of the act of homage. However, the twins additionally appreciated the significance of the crop that had briefly rubbed their bare bottoms.

James and John now quickly again realised that they had no choice but to obey Gambo's demeaning command because, if they resisted, the chieftain's relative would surely only beat them until they finally complied. The twins realistically recognised that, no matter how hard they tried to be brave, there would be a limit to the pain that they could endure when being flogged. They would therefore undoubtedly ultimately succumb to completion of the debasing ritual.

James and John concluded that early resistance would therefore only be attributable to a foolish desire to display some belated pride rather than common sense and that they would anyway soon be made to swallow such emotion when faced with a flogging. Consequently, the twins independently decided that they might as well surrender to performance of the disgraceful deed whilst their bottoms were unhurt and unmarked rather than the opposite. As usual, just a quiet glance at each other verified that their thoughts were in harmony.

James subsequently stepped forward reluctantly to perform the debasing ritual first, with his manacles rattling as he moved and to the additional loud sound of cheering from many of the surrounding villagers. The similarly shackled and still nude John next followed his twin brother's example to similar audible accompaniment.

Gambo then advised the freshly blushing James and John that their symbolic acts confirmed them as tribal slaves. The black boy also informed the appalled twins that they would be expected to perform the humiliating homage before the chieftain and any male member of his family before whom they were brought, at both the beginning and end of each such meeting, or be punished. If necessary, the white boys were to kiss the feet of these tribal worthies in the absence of any emblem in front of them.

James and John were also never to speak until allowed by being spoken to. The twins were additionally required in such circumstances to refer reverently to any male tribal member as `Master'.

Having finally symbolically degradingly confirmed their acceptance of enslavement and total subjugation to the will of the tribal chieftain, and heard these latest appalling instructions, James and John again next expected to be decorated by Gambo with cockrings and body markings to conclude the acutely shaming ceremonial. However, the black boy did not leave his position adjacent to the tribal leader.

The ignorance of James and John, in respect of the reason for the apparent delay in adding such further embellishments to the twins' delightful young forms, was, however, soon to be ended distressingly.

Chapter Fifteen – Separation

(Northern Mozambique, summer 1850)

Gambo next, exceedingly disturbingly, announced to the horrified twins, from his elevated position adjacent to the chieftain, "However, need for regular homage only apply to one of you, as you two now be separated." Pointing to James, the young black announced "You stay here with mighty chieftain as personal slave like me."

Similarly indicating to John, Gambo subsequently declared "You sold to Arab, who take you north, to Zanzibar slave markets for resale to merchants from Ottoman Empire!" Only now did the shocked twins realise that tribal warriors had been summoned from behind to their sides because a pair of the very strong men now grabbed each of them by the arms. The adults subsequently began to drag the fiercely struggling and vociferously protesting but diminutive white boys in different directions to separate fates.

John, despite his best efforts to resist, which were sadly proving fruitless, was being forcibly dragged to be chained to the rear of the line of naked young black captives, who were being taken in the Arab's caravan to Zanzibar. Meanwhile, James was being pulled towards his own immediate fate, namely replacing the flagellated black boy spreadeagled between the two wooden posts.

Only James was now to be marked with the tribal insignia whilst spreadeagled naked between the two sinister wooden posts, over the little puddle of the previous occupant's shed blood. Only this twin would now have, as a new slave, his genitals immediately tightly ringed with iron and his body branded.

John, if he survived the long journey north, the danger of which, and his replication for the chieftain in James' form, made him, despite his white rarity, relatively cheap for the Arab trader to acquire through barter, was instead destined for another life altogether. However, his ultimate fate, given the hatred of many Muslims towards European Christians ever since the Crusades of centuries before, did not really offer any better prospects.

James and John could not help but scream and cry profusely, as they were dragged apart to face their separate, not least geographically, destinies. The twins had always been virtually inseparable, being intimate best friends as much as brothers.

Amidst shedding copious tears, the twins begged loudly not to be separated. The commonly more outspoken James even vociferously promised the tribal chieftain "We'll do anything. Please, please, just let us remain together!"

By the time that the grinning chieftain answered James, John had already disappeared from sight. The remaining 11 year- old twin had also replaced the young grievously flagellated black in being chained naked and spreadeagled between the two heinous wooden posts.

The nature of some of the bodily markings of both the previous occupant of this dreadful penitence position and Gambo then finally became appallingly apparent to James when a crude iron brazier was positioned just in front of him and lit. The two implements subsequently placed in the charcoal bore at the ends little metal replicas of the leaping cheetah emblem.

James subsequently looked at the now more distant chieftain, whom he then saw was holding a tiny flanged open iron ring in his hands. The boy immediately perceptively appreciated where this particular undoubtedly very tight-fitting adornment was imminently to be attached. However, his instant desire again to plead for compassion was suppressed when the tribal leader responded to the white 11 year-old's earlier entreaty, with Gambo as usual translating.

Gambo announced, on behalf of his master, in his usual broken English, "You forced do anything anyway for mighty chieftain, whatever happen to now lost twin!" The black boy also stepped off the pedestal on which the tribal leader's basketwork throne rested and collected from his master's hut a pair of little serrated peg-like metal clamps, linked by thin light chain, before advancing towards James.

As Gambo subsequently excruciatingly crushed each of James' rosy nipples between the very tight jaws of the pegs, he also verbally chastised the agonised white boy, whilst referring to the 11 year-old's earlier vociferous pleading on being separated from John. "You and brother," reprimanded the young black, "broke rules for slaves. You both spoke without permission and without addressing mighty chieftain as `Master'!"

"As mighty chieftain not want your body yet spoilt by marks of beating," Gambo went on to add in explanation, "he decide you suffer these clamps instead before you branded. Arab guest also kindly now going to punish your brother in same way!"
