Kabba Rega had no doubt ordered the various routes towards Rionga's province to be ambuscaded. I determined at once to push straight for the camp at Foweera on the Victoria Nile, as Rionga's island was about fifteen miles from that point. Among the men of the "Forty Thieves", there was a soldier named Abdullah, who had an extraordinary instinct for finding his way.
I've been ambuscaded. Horse, foot, an' guns, I've been had, an' an' there'll be no holdin' the junior forms after this. M'rover, the 'Ead will send me with a note to Colonel Dabney to ask if what you say about bein' invited was true." "Then you'd better go in by the Lodge-gates this time, instead of chasin' your dam' boys oh, that was the Epistle to King so it was. We-el, Foxy?"
On came the enemy, in pursuit of the retreating Provincials, who sought shelter behind the rude breastworks as rapidly as possible. They had lost heavily, they had been partially ambuscaded, some of their best officers were killed and some wounded; but they had no thought of surrender.
I woke Clarence and told him the great ditch was filling up with men, and that I believed all the knights were coming for us in a body. It was my notion that as soon as dawn approached we could expect the ditch's ambuscaded thousands to swarm up over the embankment and make an assault, and be followed immediately by the rest of their army.
The bear, on the other hand, knows that a courageous bull is no easy victim; and the monster ambuscaded in the thicket had been waiting for one or both of the rivals to be disabled before making his attack.
