We had not got far when, as we reached the brow of a hill, we caught sight of two men on horseback passing along the valley at our feet. We instinctively drew back, hoping that we had not been seen, but their voices reached our ears hailing us. "Hulloa! youngsters, have you seen a nigger-boy running in this direction?" asked one of the men as we drew near.
