Sanders is a British colonial District Commissioner in Colonial
Nigeria. He tries to rule his province
fairly, including the various tribes
comprising the Peoples of the River. He
is regarded with respect by some and
with fear by others, among whom he is
referred to as "Sandi" and "Lord Sandi".
He has an ally in Bosambo, a literate and educated chief .
When Sanders goes on leave, another
chief, King Mofolaba, spreads the
rumour that "Sandi is dead." Intertribal
war seems inevitable, and the situation
is made worse by gun-runners and
slavers.
His relief, Lord Ferguson, is unequal to
the task. Sanders returns to restore
peace. When Bosambo's wife Lilongo is kidnapped, the
chief tracks down her kidnappers.
Captured by them, he is saved by a
relief force commanded by Sanders.
Bosambo kills King Mofolaba in
retaliation for his wife's kidnapping.
