There is a curious tradition among the Bechuanas in South Africa, to the effect that a monster of immense size, at a remote period of time, swallowed up all mankind except a single woman, who conceived miraculously and brought forth a son, to whom she gave the name of Litaolane. This son of the woman attacked the monster and was swallowed up alive, but being armed with a knife he cut open an outlet for himself from the belly of the monster, and thus he obtained deliverance, and all the nations of the earth in him. Thus saved, men sought, without success, to destroy their rescuer.
