By
way
of
answer
Ignosi
again
stripped
off
his
girdle
,
and
exhibited
the
snake
tattooed
about
him
.
Each
chief
in
turn
drew
near
and
examined
the
sign
by
the
dim
light
of
the
lamp
,
and
without
saying
a
word
passed
on
to
the
other
side
.
Then
Ignosi
resumed
his
moocha
,
and
addressing
them
,
repeated
the
history
he
had
detailed
in
the
morning
.
"
Now
ye
have
heard
,
chiefs
,
"
said
Infadoos
,
when
he
had
done
,
"
what
say
ye
:
will
ye
stand
by
this
man
and
help
him
to
his
father
's
throne
,
or
will
ye
not
?
The
land
cries
out
against
Twala
,
and
the
blood
of
the
people
flows
like
the
waters
in
spring
.
Ye
have
seen
to-night
.
Two
other
chiefs
there
were
with
whom
I
had
it
in
my
mind
to
speak
,
and
where
are
they
now
?
The
hyænas
howl
over
their
corpses
.
Soon
shall
ye
be
as
they
are
if
ye
strike
not
.
Choose
then
,
my
brothers
.
"
The
eldest
of
the
six
men
,
a
short
,
thick-set
warrior
,
with
white
hair
,
stepped
forward
a
pace
and
answered
--
"
Thy
words
are
true
,
Infadoos
;
the
land
cries
out
.
My
own
brother
is
among
those
who
died
to-night
;
but
this
is
a
great
matter
,
and
the
thing
is
hard
to
believe
.
How
know
we
that
if
we
lift
our
spears
it
may
not
be
for
a
thief
and
a
liar
?
It
is
a
great
matter
,
I
say
,
of
which
none
can
see
the
end
.
For
of
this
be
sure
,
blood
will
flow
in
rivers
before
the
deed
is
done
;
many
will
still
cleave
to
the
king
,
for
men
worship
the
sun
that
still
shines
bright
in
the
heavens
,
rather
than
that
which
has
not
risen
.
These
white
men
from
the
Stars
,
their
magic
is
great
,
and
Ignosi
is
under
the
cover
of
their
wing
.
If
he
be
indeed
the
rightful
king
,
let
them
give
us
a
sign
,
and
let
the
people
have
a
sign
,
that
all
may
see
.
So
shall
men
cleave
to
us
,
knowing
of
a
truth
that
the
white
man
's
magic
is
with
them
.
"
"
Ye
have
the
sign
of
the
snake
,
"
I
answered
.
"
My
lord
,
it
is
not
enough
.
The
snake
may
have
been
placed
there
since
the
man
's
childhood
.
Show
us
a
sign
,
and
it
will
suffice
.
But
we
will
not
move
without
a
sign
.
"
The
others
gave
a
decided
assent
,
and
I
turned
in
perplexity
to
Sir
Henry
and
Good
,
and
explained
the
situation
.
"
I
think
that
I
have
it
,
"
said
Good
exultingly
;
"
ask
them
to
give
us
a
moment
to
think
.
"
I
did
so
,
and
the
chiefs
withdrew
.
So
soon
as
they
had
gone
Good
went
to
the
little
box
where
he
kept
his
medicines
,
unlocked
it
,
and
took
out
a
note-book
,
in
the
fly-leaves
of
which
was
an
almanack
.
"
Now
look
here
,
you
fellows
,
is
n't
tomorrow
the
4th
of
June
?
"
he
said
.
