We have met many strange peoples in ourjourneys, Baas, but never any like
these. That night we camped by the lake, and I have seldom passed one thatwas
more disturbed.
Therefore do not judge us hardly, Lord, or measure uswith the
Dabanda rule.
Let us pack up, I said, for tomorrow we start. God bless you, my
friend, if I maycall you so, and farewell! In ourspare time I tried also to
think out the great problem as to theroute that we should take. Then he threw
hisarms round Kaneke and they wrestled. Butit was not so, for, of a sudden,
panic seemed to seize them.
Arkle stared at the ground, like to one who is lost
in doubt.
No one really enjoys the humble office of a tool which is thrownaside
when done with.
They were mighty men, both ofthem, but once that spear was gone
I had little doubt of the issue.
The racehas grown too ancient and too
interbred.
God bless you, my friend, if I maycall you so, and farewell! Side by
side they sat themselves upon the throne-like seat.
Perhaps, however,there are
one or two things that I should mention. But I did notknow and probably if I
had found him he would have told me nothing. The first thing thatwe saw were
our lost rifles and ammunition, carefully laid upon ourbeds. The first thing

the sun rose. So off we went, and entered that hateful forestjust as the sun

When you speak, what could please me better, especially in thisland,
White-Mouse?
Answer while you may, for by sunset it will betoo late. Then the
raypassed and the shadows hid them. Whereupon they answered all together:We say
that he is guilty!
Then he threw hisarms round Kaneke and they wrestled.
Let me
vanish away as many a white man does in Africa, andmy story with me.
