8 May 1903 In the early morning, he made Tioka call me. He complained about the sharp pains in his body...
In the same morning, at about 11.00 a.m., his servant, the young Ka-hui, came to call me in a hurry: "Come, hurry up! The white man is dead!"...
[Tioka bit the scalp, a test for life]
Then, having had a last look at his friend Koké, Tioka said : "Now, no more humans are there!"
