The
preparatory
labors
for
the
funeral
were
commenced
the
same
day
.
At
the
end
of
the
principal
street
of
Kazounde
flowed
a
deep
and
rapid
stream
,
an
affluent
of
the
Coango
.
The
question
was
to
turn
this
stream
aside
,
so
as
to
leave
its
bed
dry
.
It
was
in
that
bed
that
the
royal
grave
must
be
dug
.
After
the
burial
the
stream
would
be
restored
to
its
natural
channel
.
The
natives
were
busily
employed
in
constructing
a
dam
,
that
forced
the
stream
to
make
a
provisional
bed
across
the
plain
of
Kazounde
.
At
the
last
tableau
of
this
funeral
ceremony
the
barricade
would
be
broken
,
and
the
torrent
would
take
its
old
bed
again
.
Negoro
intended
Dick
Sand
to
complete
the
number
of
victims
sacrificed
on
the
king
's
tomb
.
He
had
been
a
witness
of
the
young
novice
's
irresistible
movement
of
anger
,
when
Harris
had
acquainted
him
with
the
death
of
Mrs.
Weldon
and
little
Jack
.
Negoro
,
cowardly
rascal
,
had
not
exposed
himself
to
the
same
fate
as
his
accomplice
.
But
now
,
before
a
prisoner
firmly
fastened
by
the
feet
and
hands
,
he
supposed
he
had
nothing
to
fear
,
and
resolved
to
pay
him
a
visit
.
Negoro
was
one
of
those
miserable
wretches
who
are
not
satisfied
with
torturing
their
victims
;
they
must
also
enjoy
their
sufferings
.
Toward
the
middle
of
the
day
,
then
,
he
repaired
to
the
barrack
where
Dick
Sand
was
guarded
,
in
sight
of
an
overseer
.
There
,
closely
bound
,
was
lying
the
young
novice
,
almost
entirely
deprived
of
food
for
twenty-four
hours
,
weakened
by
past
misery
,
tortured
by
those
bands
that
entered
into
his
flesh
;
hardly
able
to
turn
himself
,
he
was
waiting
for
death
,
no
matter
how
cruel
it
might
be
,
as
a
limit
to
so
many
evils
.
However
,
at
the
sight
of
Negoro
he
shuddered
from
head
to
foot
.
He
made
an
instinctive
effort
to
break
the
bands
that
prevented
him
from
throwing
himself
on
that
miserable
man
and
having
revenge
.
But
Hercules
himself
would
not
succeed
in
breaking
them
.
He
understood
that
it
was
another
kind
of
contest
that
was
going
to
take
place
between
the
two
,
and
arming
himself
with
calmness
,
Dick
Sand
compelled
himself
to
look
Negoro
right
in
the
face
,
and
decided
not
to
honor
him
with
a
reply
,
no
matter
what
he
might
say
.
"
I
believed
it
to
be
my
duty
,
"
Negoro
said
to
him
it
first
,
"
to
come
to
salute
my
young
captain
for
the
last
time
,
and
to
let
him
know
how
I
regret
,
for
his
sake
,
that
he
does
not
command
here
any
longer
,
as
he
commanded
on
board
the
'
Pilgrim
.
'
"
And
,
seeing
that
Dick
Sand
did
not
reply
:
