At this the Bushman uttered something with so many klicks, klucks, and gurgles in it that his interrogator at once relinquished the use of the tongue, and took to signs, but with no better success, his efforts having only the effect of causing the mouth of the Bushman to expand from ear to ear. Uttering a few more klicks and gurgles, he pointed in the direction of the setting sun.
The hardest part we found to be discharging the batteries, which none of us could do without their assistance. We had no sooner relinquished our paddles than some one announced two gentlemen at the house. While we were discussing the possibility of changing our dresses before being seen, enter Mr. Enders and Gibbes Morgan of Fenner's battery.
We should sit mournfully silent, two impotent hearts, and remember, remember. I should worship your exquisite body as I had known it on earth.

But then followed the 'most unkindest cut of all. Mr. Gregorowski, who had resigned a judgeship in order to fill the post of State Attorney when Dr. Coster, in consequence of an insulting reference of the President's to his countrymen, relinquished it, Mr. Kotzé dismissed.
"I was thinkin' how much better I could direct than work," said the cunning fellow, too lazy to dig. "Then stand aside and give me the shovel," cried Fred, impatiently. Steel Spring willingly relinquished it, and pretending that he felt exceedingly nervous and faint, he squatted down upon the ground and watched with eager eyes every particle of dirt that was thrown from the hole.
When the song ended, they all remained waiting for some moments, as though expecting another verse; and there was a short silence, but then applause broke forth such as had never been heard.
