"He scoops a hole out of the hard ground three to four inches deap by three inches wide. A foot or so away from this he scoops another hole, and he then bores a small channel underground from one to the other. There is thus a free air passage connecting the two little excavations.
He places some dried dagga leaves in the first hole, lights them and covers them over with moist clay. He pierces this clay with a sharpened piece of wood to allow a draught through.
Into the other hole he inserts a small hollow reed -this is the pipe stem- squeezes moist clay round it and on his knees begins to smoke."
"I once wakened a Bushman from his stupor by throwing a little gunpowder into his lighted dagga. Holes and Bushman disappeared."
