All along the diggings the dismal tidings spread with a rapidity which was astonishing. At eleven o'clock there was consternation at Klipdrift. At quarter-past one Hebron was up and aghast at the news.

The ward was full, I could not change the sergeant's place, and yet I should have liked to let him be alone all day with his own pain.
