Well
,
there
we
three
sat
yarning
away
in
the
beautiful
moonlight
,
and
watching
the
Kafirs
a
few
yards
off
sucking
their
intoxicating
"
daccha
"
from
a
pipe
of
which
the
mouthpiece
was
made
of
the
horn
of
an
eland
,
till
one
by
one
they
rolled
themselves
up
in
their
blankets
and
went
to
sleep
by
the
fire
,
that
is
,
all
except
Umbopa
,
who
was
a
little
apart
,
his
chin
resting
on
his
hand
,
and
thinking
deeply
.
I
noticed
that
he
never
mixed
much
with
the
other
Kafirs
.
Presently
,
from
the
depths
of
the
bush
behind
us
,
came
a
loud
"
woof
,
woof
!
"
"
That
's
a
lion
,
"
said
I
,
and
we
all
started
up
to
listen
.
Hardly
had
we
done
so
,
when
from
the
pool
,
about
a
hundred
yards
off
,
we
heard
the
strident
trumpeting
of
an
elephant
.
"
Unkungunklovo
!
Indlovu
!
"
"
Elephant
!
Elephant
!
"
whispered
the
Kafirs
,
and
a
few
minutes
afterwards
we
saw
a
succession
of
vast
shadowy
forms
moving
slowly
from
the
direction
of
the
water
towards
the
bush
.
Up
jumped
Good
,
burning
for
slaughter
,
and
thinking
,
perhaps
,
that
it
was
as
easy
to
kill
elephant
as
he
had
found
it
to
shoot
giraffe
,
but
I
caught
him
by
the
arm
and
pulled
him
down
.
"
It
's
no
good
,
"
I
whispered
,
"
let
them
go
.
"
"
It
seems
that
we
are
in
a
paradise
of
game
.
I
vote
we
stop
here
a
day
or
two
,
and
have
a
go
at
them
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
presently
.
I
was
rather
surprised
,
for
hitherto
Sir
Henry
had
always
been
for
pushing
forward
as
fast
as
possible
,
more
especially
since
we
ascertained
at
Inyati
that
about
two
years
ago
an
Englishman
of
the
name
of
Neville
had
sold
his
wagon
there
,
and
gone
on
up
country
.
But
I
suppose
his
hunter
instincts
got
the
better
of
him
for
a
while
.
Good
jumped
at
the
idea
,
for
he
was
longing
to
have
a
shot
at
those
elephants
;
and
so
,
to
speak
the
truth
,
did
I
,
for
it
went
against
my
conscience
to
let
such
a
herd
as
that
escape
without
a
pull
at
them
.
"
All
right
,
my
hearties
,
"
said
I.
"
I
think
we
want
a
little
recreation
.
And
now
let
's
turn
in
,
for
we
ought
to
be
off
by
dawn
,
and
then
perhaps
we
may
catch
them
feeding
before
they
move
on
.
"
The
others
agreed
,
and
we
proceeded
to
make
our
preparations
.
Good
took
off
his
clothes
,
shook
them
,
put
his
eye-glass
and
his
false
teeth
into
his
trousers
pocket
,
and
folding
each
article
neatly
,
placed
it
out
of
the
dew
under
a
corner
of
his
mackintosh
sheet
.
Sir
Henry
and
I
contented
ourselves
with
rougher
arrangements
,
and
soon
were
curled
up
in
our
blankets
,
and
dropping
off
into
the
dreamless
sleep
that
rewards
the
traveller
.
