ocr: Hiding our considerable embarrassment, we chose a team of porters to carry this little lot up into the Virunga volcanoes for us. They didn't mind. If we were prepared to pay them to carry Dickens and aftershave up - to the gorillas and back down again then they were perfectly happy - - to do it. White men have done much worse things in Zaire than that, but maybe not much sillier.
