The meal was soon forthcoming, the Bumwo women fearing that they would be slaughtered if they did not comply with the demands of the whites. To make sure that the food had not been poisoned, Dick made several of the natives eat portions of each dish. This made Cujo grin. "Um know a good deal," he remarked. "Cujo was goin' to tell Dick to do dat."
He felt that by getting closer to King Susko, he was also getting closer to the mystery which surrounded his father's disappearance. "Dar him am!" whispered Cujo, presently. "See, da is gwine up into a big hole in de side ob de mountain?" "Can you make out if it is Susko or not?" "Not fo' certain, Massah Dick. But him belong to de Burnwo tribe, an' de udder man too."
"Werry heavy, massah; werry heavy," returned Cujo. "Come wid me, all ob you," and he set off on a run. All followed as quickly as they could, and soon found themselves under a high mass of rocks overlooking the Kassai River. They had hardly gained the shelter when the storm burst over their heads in all of its wild fury.
The trees were now swaying violently, and presently from a distance came a crack like that of a big pistol. "Was that a tree went down?" asked Randolph Rover, and Cujo nodded. "It is a good thing, then, that we got out of the forest." "Big woods werry dangerous in heap storm like dis," answered the African. "Tree come down, maybe kill um. Hark! now um comin'!"
Cujo is bounded on the north by the province of Tucuman, on the east by the Pampas or desert plains of Buenos Ayres, on the south by Patagonia, and on the west by the southern chain of the Andes. Being comprehended between the latitudes of 29° and 35° south, it is about 400 miles in extent from north to south, but its limits towards the east are uncertain.
But I didn't dream of such a thing being done down here although, I know it is done further north in Africa among the Moors and Algerians." Cujo now went off on another scout and did not return until the sun was setting. Again he was full of smiles. "I can show you a way up de rocks," he said. "We can get to the walls of um fort, as you call um, without being seen."
He sent the remainder of these in 1597 to the province of Cujo, where they founded a new city, called San Luis de Loyola, which still subsists in a miserable condition, though placed in a very advantageous situation. The fort of Lumaco was soon afterwards taken by storm, by the toqui in person, who gave orders to two of his officers to reduce that of Puren.
The most frequented of these roads is that which leads from the province of Aconcagua in Chili to Cujo, running along the deep ravines of the rivers Chillan and Mendoza, bordered on one side by deep precipices overhanging these rivers, and on the other by lofty and almost perpendicular mountains.
"The inn is deserted," announced Aleck. Even that colored wife of the proprietor is gone. "And did you find any trace of Dick and my uncle?" asked Sam. "We found out where dat struggle took place," answered, Aleck. "And Cujo reckons as how he can follow de trail if we don't wait too long to do it." "Must go soon," put in Cujo for himself. "Maybe tomorrow come big storm den track all washed away."
This people was anciently conquered by the Peruvians, after having taken possession of the northern part of Chili; and on the road across the Andes from Cujo to Chili, there still are some small stone buildings, or tambos, which had been erected for the accommodation of the Peruvian officers and messengers.
