We
had
kept
a
careful
note
of
the
days
,
so
were
able
to
answer
that
it
was
.
"
Very
good
;
then
here
we
have
it
--
'
4
June
,
total
eclipse
of
the
moon
commences
at
8
.
15
Greenwich
time
,
visible
in
Teneriffe
--
South
Africa
,
etc.
'
There
's
a
sign
for
you
.
Tell
them
we
will
darken
the
moon
tomorrow
night
.
"
The
idea
was
a
splendid
one
;
indeed
,
the
only
weak
spot
about
it
was
a
fear
lest
Good
's
almanack
might
be
incorrect
.
If
we
made
a
false
prophecy
on
such
a
subject
,
our
prestige
would
be
gone
for
ever
,
and
so
would
Ignosi
's
chance
of
the
throne
of
the
Kukuanas
.
"
Suppose
that
the
almanack
is
wrong
,
"
suggested
Sir
Henry
to
Good
,
who
was
busily
employed
in
working
out
something
on
a
blank
page
of
the
book
.
"
I
see
no
reason
to
suppose
anything
of
the
sort
,
"
was
his
answer
.
"
Eclipses
always
come
up
to
time
;
at
least
that
is
my
experience
of
them
,
and
it
especially
states
that
this
one
will
be
visible
in
South
Africa
.
I
have
worked
out
the
reckonings
as
well
as
I
can
,
without
knowing
our
exact
position
;
and
I
make
out
that
the
eclipse
should
begin
here
about
ten
o'clock
tomorrow
night
,
and
last
till
half-past
twelve
.
For
an
hour
and
a
half
or
so
there
should
be
almost
total
darkness
.
"
"
Well
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
"
I
suppose
we
had
better
risk
it
.
"
I
acquiesced
,
though
doubtfully
,
for
eclipses
are
queer
cattle
to
deal
with
--
it
might
be
a
cloudy
night
,
for
instance
,
or
our
dates
might
be
wrong
--
and
sent
Umbopa
to
summon
the
chiefs
back
.
Presently
they
came
,
and
I
addressed
them
thus
--
"
Great
men
of
the
Kukuanas
,
and
thou
,
Infadoos
,
listen
.
We
love
not
to
show
our
powers
,
for
to
do
so
is
to
interfere
with
the
course
of
nature
,
and
to
plunge
the
world
into
fear
and
confusion
.
But
since
this
matter
is
a
great
one
,
and
as
we
are
angered
against
the
king
because
of
the
slaughter
we
have
seen
,
and
because
of
the
act
of
the
Isanusi
Gagool
,
who
would
have
put
our
friend
Ignosi
to
death
,
we
have
determined
to
break
a
rule
,
and
to
give
such
a
sign
as
all
men
may
see
.
Come
hither
"
;
and
I
led
them
to
the
door
of
the
hut
and
pointed
to
the
red
ball
of
the
moon
.
"
What
see
ye
there
?
"
"
We
see
the
sinking
moon
,
"
answered
the
spokesman
of
the
party
.
