Good
;
it
is
now
mid-day
,
and
the
men
eat
and
rest
after
the
toil
of
battle
.
When
the
sun
has
turned
and
travelled
a
little
way
towards
the
darkness
,
let
thy
regiment
,
my
uncle
,
advance
with
one
other
down
to
the
green
tongue
,
and
it
shall
be
that
when
Twala
sees
it
he
will
hurl
his
force
at
it
to
crush
it
.
But
the
spot
is
narrow
,
and
the
regiments
can
come
against
thee
one
at
a
time
only
;
so
may
they
be
destroyed
one
by
one
,
and
the
eyes
of
all
Twala
's
army
shall
be
fixed
upon
a
struggle
the
like
of
which
has
not
been
seen
by
living
man
.
And
with
thee
,
my
uncle
,
shall
go
Incubu
my
friend
,
that
when
Twala
sees
his
battle-axe
flashing
in
the
first
rank
of
the
Greys
his
heart
may
grow
faint
.
And
I
will
come
with
the
second
regiment
,
that
which
follows
thee
,
so
that
if
ye
are
destroyed
,
as
it
might
happen
,
there
may
yet
be
a
king
left
to
fight
for
;
and
with
me
shall
come
Macumazahn
the
wise
.
"
"
It
is
well
,
O
king
,
"
said
Infadoos
,
apparently
contemplating
the
certainty
of
the
complete
annihilation
of
his
regiment
with
perfect
calmness
.
Truly
,
these
Kukuanas
are
a
wonderful
people
.
Death
has
no
terrors
for
them
when
it
is
incurred
in
the
course
of
duty
.
"
And
whilst
the
eyes
of
the
multitude
of
Twala
's
soldiers
are
thus
fixed
upon
the
fight
,
"
went
on
Ignosi
,
"
behold
,
one-third
of
the
men
who
are
left
alive
to
us
(
i.
e.
about
6,000
)
shall
creep
along
the
right
horn
of
the
hill
and
fall
upon
the
left
flank
of
Twala
's
force
,
and
one-third
shall
creep
along
the
left
horn
and
fall
upon
Twala
's
right
flank
.
And
when
I
see
that
the
horns
are
ready
to
toss
Twala
,
then
will
I
,
with
the
men
who
remain
to
me
,
charge
home
in
Twala
's
face
,
and
if
fortune
goes
with
us
the
day
will
be
ours
,
and
before
Night
drives
her
black
oxen
from
the
mountains
to
the
mountains
we
shall
sit
in
peace
at
Loo
.
And
now
let
us
eat
and
make
ready
;
and
,
Infadoos
,
do
thou
prepare
,
that
the
plan
be
carried
out
without
fail
;
and
stay
,
let
my
white
father
Bougwan
go
with
the
right
horn
,
that
his
shining
eye
may
give
courage
to
the
captains
.
"
The
arrangements
for
attack
thus
briefly
indicated
were
set
in
motion
with
a
rapidity
that
spoke
well
for
the
perfection
of
the
Kukuana
military
system
Within
little
more
than
an
hour
rations
had
been
served
out
and
devoured
,
the
divisions
were
formed
,
the
scheme
of
onslaught
was
explained
to
the
leaders
,
and
the
whole
force
,
numbering
about
18,000
men
,
was
ready
to
move
,
with
the
exception
of
a
guard
left
in
charge
of
the
wounded
.
Presently
Good
came
up
to
Sir
Henry
and
myself
.
"
Good-bye
,
you
fellows
,
"
he
said
;
"
I
am
off
with
the
right
wing
according
to
orders
;
and
so
I
have
come
to
shake
hands
,
in
case
we
should
not
meet
again
,
you
know
,
"
he
added
significantly
.
We
shook
hands
in
silence
,
and
not
without
the
exhibition
of
as
much
emotion
as
Anglo
--
Saxons
are
wont
to
show
.
"
It
is
a
queer
business
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
his
deep
voice
shaking
a
little
,
"
and
I
confess
I
never
expect
to
see
tomorrow
's
sun
.
So
far
as
I
can
make
out
,
the
Greys
,
with
whom
I
am
to
go
,
are
to
fight
until
they
are
wiped
out
in
order
to
enable
the
wings
to
slip
round
unawares
and
outflank
Twala
.
Well
,
so
be
it
;
at
any
rate
,
it
will
be
a
man
's
death
.
Good-bye
,
old
fellow
.
God
bless
you
!
I
hope
you
will
pull
through
and
live
to
collar
the
diamonds
;
but
if
you
do
,
take
my
advice
and
do
n't
have
anything
more
to
do
with
Pretenders
!
