Page "Mokele-mbembe" Paragraph 31

In December 1985 Rory Nugent spotted an anomaly moving through the middle of Lake Tele, approximately 1 kilometer from his position on the shore.

In his account published as a book ( Drums Along The Congo, 1993, Houghton-Mifflin, New York ), Nugent claimed that it was shaped like a " slender french curve " and moving through the water with little wake.

When he went to launch a boat to investigate he was ordered at gunpoint by the natives not to approach it.
