"Eine Hasenfalle in Mbozi. Sie war auf einem schmalen Pfad aufgebaut. Ein enger Gang, von dünnen Hölzern gebildet, unten ein Netz von Bastfäden. Gegen dieses läuft das Tier. Dadurch wird der locker befestigte Baumstamm zu Fall gebracht." ("A rabbit trap in Mbozi. It has been arranged on a narrow path. A narrow corridor constructed of thin branches, beneath a net made of bast fibers. The animal cannons into it. Thus the loosely fixed log is overthrown."). The trap is situated in the undergrowth. The left and right margins are faded. -- Theodor Tietzen (1893-1973) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine.
