Neela Deo was safe everyone was safe. Bonfires blazed up in every village within sight of the caravan's way home from so far away as watchers on Hurda's highest hill could see burning night and day. At last the one furthest from Hurda went out. The watchers raced in Neela Deo's caravan was coming! One by one, the bonfires went out till it was this side the Nerbudda. Then the people made ready.
She became furious, her cap slid down on her shoulder, and she continued: "There is nothing more to be done in that shop now. And what is the name of the new commissioner?" "Bonassot." "'Bonassot-Toulon. Born in 1851. Student Commissioner in 1871. Sub-Commissioner in 1875. Has he been to sea?" she continued. At that question Caravan's looks cleared up, and he laughed until his sides shook.
His two spies had brought news of the approach of the caravan, but beyond that meagre information he knew nothing. The Kureischite activity thereafter was swallowed up in the vastnesses of the desert, which drew a curtain as effective as death around the opposing armies. But news of the caravan's advance was sufficient for the Prophet.

"This menace made us firmer in our determination, and we swept past the spears. After we had marched unmolested for some seven miles, a loud yelping from the woods excited our attention, and a sudden rush was made upon us by, say two hundred men, who came down seemingly in great glee. In an instant, at the caravan's centre, they fastened upon the poor porters.
After travelling a little way, we emerged from the low land of the valley, and ascended a higher track to the normal level of the plateau, which, as I have said before, was all bleak and barren, with scarcely a tree growing on it, and very stony. Here I saw a large troop of ostriches and numberless gazelles stalking away out of the line of the caravan's march.
The fresh air on the faces of the two men rather overcame them at first, made the doctor lose his equilibrium a little, and increased Caravan's giddiness, from which he had suffered since dinner.
Besides all this, there were a number of small commissions; so he took his hat and went out. As the news had spread abroad, Madame Caravan's female friends and neighbors soon began to come in and begged to be allowed to see the body. There had been a scene between husband and wife at the hairdresser's on the ground floor about the matter, while a customer was being shaved.
