It
is
ended
,
"
Twala
answered
sulkily
.
"
Let
these
dead
dogs
,
"
pointing
to
the
long
rows
of
corpses
,
"
be
flung
out
to
the
hyænas
and
the
vultures
,
"
and
he
lifted
his
spear
.
Instantly
the
regiments
began
to
defile
through
the
kraal
gateway
in
perfect
silence
,
a
fatigue
party
only
remaining
behind
to
drag
away
the
corpses
of
those
who
had
been
sacrificed
.
Then
we
rose
also
,
and
making
our
salaam
to
his
majesty
,
which
he
hardly
deigned
to
acknowledge
,
we
departed
to
our
huts
.
"
Well
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
as
we
sat
down
,
having
first
lit
a
lamp
of
the
sort
used
by
the
Kukuanas
,
of
which
the
wick
is
made
from
the
fibre
of
a
species
of
palm
leaf
,
and
the
oil
from
clarified
hippopotamus
fat
,
"
well
,
I
feel
uncommonly
inclined
to
be
sick
.
"
"
If
I
had
any
doubts
about
helping
Umbopa
to
rebel
against
that
infernal
blackguard
,
"
put
in
Good
,
"
they
are
gone
now
.
It
was
as
much
as
I
could
do
to
sit
still
while
that
slaughter
was
going
on
.
I
tried
to
keep
my
eyes
shut
,
but
they
would
open
just
at
the
wrong
time
.
I
wonder
where
Infadoos
is
.
Umbopa
,
my
friend
,
you
ought
to
be
grateful
to
us
;
your
skin
came
near
to
having
an
air-hole
made
in
it
.
"
"
I
am
grateful
,
Bougwan
,
"
was
Umbopa
's
answer
,
when
I
had
translated
,
"
and
I
shall
not
forget
.
As
for
Infadoos
,
he
will
be
here
by-and-by
.
We
must
wait
.
"
So
we
lit
our
pipes
and
waited
.
For
a
long
while
--
two
hours
,
I
should
think
--
we
sat
there
in
silence
,
being
too
much
overwhelmed
by
the
recollection
of
the
horrors
we
had
seen
to
talk
.
At
last
,
just
as
we
were
thinking
of
turning
in-for
the
night
drew
nigh
to
dawn
--
we
heard
a
sound
of
steps
.
Then
came
the
challenge
of
a
sentry
posted
at
the
kraal
gate
,
which
apparently
was
answered
,
though
not
in
an
audible
tone
,
for
the
steps
still
advanced
;
and
in
another
second
Infadoos
had
entered
the
hut
,
followed
by
some
half-dozen
stately-looking
chiefs
.
"
My
lords
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
have
come
according
to
my
word
.
My
lords
and
Ignosi
,
rightful
king
of
the
Kukuanas
,
I
have
brought
with
me
these
men
,
"
pointing
to
the
row
of
chiefs
,
"
who
are
great
men
among
us
,
having
each
one
of
them
the
command
of
three
thousand
soldiers
,
that
live
but
to
do
their
bidding
,
under
the
king
's
.
I
have
told
them
of
what
I
have
seen
,
and
what
my
ears
have
heard
.
Now
let
them
also
behold
the
sacred
snake
around
thee
,
and
hear
thy
story
,
Ignosi
,
that
they
may
say
whether
or
no
they
will
make
cause
with
thee
against
Twala
the
king
.
