She
drew
it
out
,
holding
it
in
the
palm
of
her
hand
for
a
moment
with
tear-blurred
eyes
bent
upon
it
.
Then
she
raised
it
to
her
lips
,
and
crushing
it
there
buried
her
face
in
the
soft
ferns
,
sobbing
.
"
Beast
?
"
she
murmured
.
"
Then
God
make
me
a
beast
;
for
,
man
or
beast
,
I
am
yours
.
"
She
did
not
see
Clayton
again
that
day
.
Esmeralda
brought
her
supper
to
her
,
and
she
sent
word
to
her
father
that
she
was
suffering
from
the
reaction
following
her
adventure
.
The
next
morning
Clayton
left
early
with
the
relief
expedition
in
search
of
Lieutenant
D'Arnot
.
There
were
two
hundred
armed
men
this
time
,
with
ten
officers
and
two
surgeons
,
and
provisions
for
a
week
.
They
carried
bedding
and
hammocks
,
the
latter
for
transporting
their
sick
and
wounded
.
It
was
a
determined
and
angry
company
--
a
punitive
expedition
as
well
as
one
of
relief
.
They
reached
the
site
of
the
skirmish
of
the
previous
expedition
shortly
after
noon
,
for
they
were
now
traveling
a
known
trail
and
no
time
was
lost
in
exploring
.
From
there
on
the
elephant-track
led
straight
to
Mbonga
's
village
.
It
was
but
two
o'clock
when
the
head
of
the
column
halted
upon
the
edge
of
the
clearing
.
Lieutenant
Charpentier
,
who
was
in
command
,
immediately
sent
a
portion
of
his
force
through
the
jungle
to
the
opposite
side
of
the
village
.
Another
detachment
was
dispatched
to
a
point
before
the
village
gate
,
while
he
remained
with
the
balance
upon
the
south
side
of
the
clearing
.
It
was
arranged
that
the
party
which
was
to
take
its
position
to
the
north
,
and
which
would
be
the
last
to
gain
its
station
should
commence
the
assault
,
and
that
their
opening
volley
should
be
the
signal
for
a
concerted
rush
from
all
sides
in
an
attempt
to
carry
the
village
by
storm
at
the
first
charge
.
For
half
an
hour
the
men
with
Lieutenant
Charpentier
crouched
in
the
dense
foliage
of
the
jungle
,
waiting
the
signal
.
To
them
it
seemed
like
hours
.
They
could
see
natives
in
the
fields
,
and
others
moving
in
and
out
of
the
village
gate
.
