Shortly after my return from Africa I was talking with a well-known American business man who, after making the usual inquiries about lions, cannibals and hair-breadth escapes, asked: "Is it dangerous to go about in South Africa?" When I assured him that both my pocket-book and I were safer there than on Broadway in New York or State Street in Chicago, he was surprised.
Why so many precautions? because the country is dangerous; it is full of cannibals. Then why do people go there? because the country is marvellous; gold is found there."

Scraggs was very white and bloody, but conscious, and his pale-blue eyes were flickering like a snake's. "What's what's the meanin' of this, Gib?" he gasped.
Renton never saw the rest of his companions again, for they were removed to the interior of the Island probably sold to some of the bush tribes, the "man-a-bush," as the coastal natives called them.
