He recognized The Sheik the moment his eyes fell upon him. There were two men in the world that Malbihn feared as he feared the devil. One was the Big Bwana and the other The Sheik. A single glance he took at that gaunt, familiar figure and then he turned tail and scurried back to his canoe calling his followers after him.
The fellow knew his master's plans sufficiently well to understand that he had done something to arouse the ire of the Big Bwana and that it would fare ill with them all if they were overtaken in Big Bwana's country. At the suggestion Baynes took alarm. What if the Big Bwana, as the head-man called him, had surprised "Hanson" in his nefarious work.
They agreed at last, however, admitted the white men and the porters, and stood about, in the fire-light, leaning on their spears, and laughing, while the lion was being skinned. They gave Roosevelt milk to drink and seemed pleased to have a call from "Bwana Makuba," the Great Chief, as the porters called him.
Now the bwana has ordered to fall in. He wishes to see if any are missing. Go take your place, and answer to your name." "Oh, memsahib! Oh, memsahib!" the man was groaning. "Go, I say!" she cried. "And hold up your head. If this is suspected of you, you will surely die." Kingozi called the roll by the light of a replenished fire.
He had seen neither apes nor ape-man. Meriem at first insisted upon setting forth herself in search of Korak, but Bwana prevailed upon her to wait. He would go himself, he assured her, as soon as he could find the time, and at last Meriem consented to abide by his wishes; but it was months before she ceased to mourn almost hourly for her Korak.
Kingozi called up Simba and began to question him. "You say the water is four hours' march?" "Yes, bwana." "Four hours for you, or four hours for laden men?" "The safari can go in four hours, bwana." "Is there game there?" "No, bwana. It is a guarded water, and there is no game." Kingozi considered. "Very well. I want six men. Before the march we must get meat."
No, I think, Master, that they will not follow us tonight, but tomorrow they will come, and, O Bwana, then will they surely get us, or those that are left of us, for at least one among us must be the toll of the black lions as we pass through their forest." As they crossed the garden, Smith-Oldwick refilled the magazine of his pistol and inserted a cartridge in the chamber.
Also it did much toward making a martyr of Baynes in her eyes and arousing in her breast a keen feeling of loyalty toward him. What she had half-mistaken for love before, she now wholly mistook for love. Bwana and My Dear might have told her much of the social barriers that they only too well knew Baynes must feel existed between Meriem and himself, but they hesitated to wound her.
"And Korak built me a lair high among the branches of a mighty tree. He brought me fruits and flesh. He fought for me and was kind to me until I came to Bwana and My Dear I do not recall that any other than Korak was ever kind to me." There was a wistful note in the girl's voice now and she had forgotten that she was bantering the Hon. Morison. She was thinking of Korak.
Whenever the location of water-holes permitted, the safari made long jumps. The two messengers sent out with a scrawled letter to Doctor McCloud whom they knew as Bwana Marefu were of course far ahead. With any luck Kingozi hoped to meet the surgeon not far from the mountains where dwelt the sultani of the ivory stockade. Thus the march went through a fortnight.
