Glenarvan
,
Robert
,
and
Thalcave
,
had
followed
the
common
example
,
and
lay
in
profound
slumber
on
their
soft
couch
of
lucerne
.
The
worn-out
horses
had
stretched
themselves
full
length
on
the
ground
,
except
Thaouka
,
who
slept
standing
,
true
to
his
high
blood
,
proud
in
repose
as
in
action
,
and
ready
to
start
at
his
master
's
call
.
Absolute
silence
reigned
within
the
inclosure
,
over
which
the
dying
embers
of
the
fire
shed
a
fitful
light
.
However
,
the
Indian
's
sleep
did
not
last
long
;
for
about
ten
o'clock
he
woke
,
sat
up
,
and
turned
his
ear
toward
the
plain
,
listening
intently
,
with
half-closed
eyes
.
An
uneasy
look
began
to
depict
itself
on
his
usually
impassive
face
.
Had
he
caught
scent
of
some
party
of
Indian
marauders
,
or
of
jaguars
,
water
tigers
,
and
other
terrible
animals
that
haunt
the
neighborhood
of
rivers
?
Apparently
it
was
the
latter
,
for
he
threw
a
rapid
glance
on
the
combustible
materials
heaped
up
in
the
inclosure
,
and
the
expression
of
anxiety
on
his
countenance
seemed
to
deepen
.
This
was
not
surprising
,
as
the
whole
pile
of
ALFAFARES
would
soon
burn
out
and
could
only
ward
off
the
attacks
of
wild
beasts
for
a
brief
interval
.
There
was
nothing
to
be
done
in
the
circumstances
but
wait
;
and
wait
he
did
,
in
a
half-recumbent
posture
,
his
head
leaning
on
his
hands
,
and
his
elbows
on
his
knees
,
like
a
man
roused
suddenly
from
his
night
's
sleep
.
A
whole
hour
passed
,
and
anyone
except
Thalcave
would
have
lain
down
again
on
his
couch
,
reassured
by
the
silence
round
him
.
But
where
a
stranger
would
have
suspected
nothing
,
the
sharpened
senses
of
the
Indian
detected
the
approach
of
danger
.
As
he
was
thus
watching
and
listening
,
Thaouka
gave
a
low
neigh
,
and
stretched
his
nostrils
toward
the
entrance
of
the
RAMADA
.
This
startled
the
Patagonian
,
and
made
him
rise
to
his
feet
at
once
.
"
Thaouka
scents
an
enemy
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
going
toward
the
opening
,
to
make
careful
survey
of
the
plains
.
Silence
still
prevailed
,
but
not
tranquillity
;
for
Thalcave
caught
a
glimpse
of
shadows
moving
noiselessly
over
the
tufts
of
CURRA-MAMMEL
.
Here
and
there
luminous
spots
appeared
,
dying
out
and
rekindling
constantly
,
in
all
directions
,
like
fantastic
lights
dancing
over
the
surface
of
an
immense
lagoon
.
An
inexperienced
eye
might
have
mistaken
them
for
fireflies
,
which
shine
at
night
in
many
parts
of
the
Pampas
;
but
Thalcave
was
not
deceived
;
he
knew
the
enemies
he
had
to
deal
with
,
and
lost
no
time
in
loading
his
carbine
and
taking
up
his
post
in
front
of
the
fence
.
He
did
not
wait
long
,
for
a
strange
cry
--
a
confused
sound
of
barking
and
howling
--
broke
over
the
Pampas
,
followed
next
instant
by
the
report
of
the
carbine
,
which
made
the
uproar
a
hundred
times
worse
.
Glenarvan
and
Robert
woke
in
alarm
,
and
started
to
their
feet
instantly
.
