These beasts had proved so bold and menacing that finally the team had been forced to stop in sheer self-defence. However, the day was cool and overcast, so nothing was lost. After topping the Mau we saw a few gazelle, zebra, and hartebeeste, but soon plunged into a bush country quite destitute of game.
"Aubanel and you will say as I do, when you have read his book is a wild pomegranate-tree. The Provençal public, whom his first poems had pleased so much, was beginning to say, 'But what is our Aubanel doing, that we no longer hear him sing?" Then follows an exposition of the hopeless passion of the poet, how he took for motto, "Quau canto, Soun mau encanto."
I have lost my money as well as thou hast done; let us therefore go fight lustily together, grapple and scuffle it to some purpose. Thou mayest look and see that my tuck is no longer than thy rapier. The Gascon, altogether astonished at his unexpected provocation, without altering his former dialect spoke thus: Cap de Saint Arnault, quau seys to you, qui me rebeillez? Que mau de taberne te gire.
Ku Hsi says that the object of the sacrifice was Thang. The Preface assigns it to Thai Mau, the Kung Zung, or second of the three 'honoured Ones. But there is not a Dancing thus entered into the service as an accompaniment of the music. Two terms are employed; one denoting the movements appropriate to a dance Of war, the other those appropriate to a dance of peace.
Apparently insignificant, it is given to sudden, tremendous rises. These originate in the rainfalls of the upper Mau Escarpment, many miles away. It behooves the safari to cross promptly if it can, and to camp always on the farther bank. This we did, pitching our tents in a little opening, between clumps of pretty flowering aloes and the mimosas.
He remembered telling a brilliant story, and reciting "Old Captain Mau in Vegesack," rhymes long forgotten, now fluent and spontaneous. The applause was a triumph. Through it, as through a haze, he saw a pair of wide blue eyes shining with startled admiration. But the best came when the sun had lowered behind the grove, the company grown more silent, and Mrs.
O pirae uri, o pirae tea, i ore ratou ia parau hia. Aita e faufaa i taua ohipa ra.

While tramping through the woods, he came across a very large Cattleya at rest, and gathered such pieces as fell in his way attaching so little importance to them, however, that he did not name the matter in his reports. Four cases Mr. Mau brought home with his stock of Odontoglossums, which were opened in due course of business. We can quite believe that it was one of the stirring moments of Mr.
"Why," said she, "I am fixing a snare for Hiawatha, if he should be on this earth; and, in the mean time, I am looking for herbs to heal my son. I am the only person that can do him any good. He always gets better when I sing: "'Hiawatha a ne we guawk, Koan dan mau wah, ne we guawk, Koan dan mau wah, ne we guawk, It is Hiawatha's dart, I try my magic power to withdraw."
A general feeling of expectancy pervaded the entire safari when we broke camp at the Wangai River at dawn of a hazy morning.
