At first this gave offence to all parties to the crowd, because they didn't like to be driven away to the mayor, who remained with the sergeant and invalids in the area which had been cleared by the privateer's people, because he thought that they had interfered with his civil authority and to the sergeant of invalids, because he thought that the marine force had interfered with his military authority; but the captain of the privateer having taken off his hat and bowed, first to the mayor and then to the sergeant, and saying how much he was obliged to them for their assistance, both parties were satisfied; and now a consultation was held between them how to proceed, while the privateer's men, who kept back the crowd, amused them by giving a detail of the two desperate actions which had been fought no two accounts agreeing, certainly, but that was of no consequence.
Now all must be taken to San Lorenzo, and the greatly increased population of the city has already very thickly filled an immense area. The first thing that strikes the visitor to this huge necropolis is the very marked division between the poor and the rich quarters of this city of the dead.
But there were women who watched them with deep anxiety. This particular space contained all the people considered certainly free of the para syndrome. Tall building surrounded the area which once had been tranquil and open to all the citizens of the planet.

The others had not roused at my entrance, but he had looked at me with quick, intelligent eyes. "It is nothing!" was his reply. Outside, in the village, soldiers thronged the streets.

So long, however, as Railhead Camp with its two or three thousand men, scattered over a wide area remained at Tsavo, the coolies appeared not to take much notice of the dreadful deaths of their comrades. Each man felt, I suppose, that as the man-eaters had such a large number of victims to choose from, the chances of their selecting him in particular were very small.

This spring, I will invite high-tech leaders to join me on another New Markets tour to close the digital divide and open opportunity for all our people.
