And so you killed him, 'Eater-up-of-Elephants, father of Mameena, you who this morning were one of the meanest of his jackals. Now, what reward shall I give you for this mighty deed, O Umbezi?" "A great reward, O Terrible One," began Umbezi, but in an awful voice Cetewayo bade him be silent. "Yes," he said, "a great reward. Hearken, Jackal and Traitor. Your own words bear witness against you.
"Be silent, idiot," roared Umbezi. Let us follow it." He glared round him, whereon his obsequious people, or one of them, echoed: "Yes, by all means let us follow it, 'Eater-up-of-Elephants. Macumazahn, the clever white man, will show us how, for where is the buffalo that he fears!"
Oh! why did I think I was a hunter; why did I not stop at my kraal and count my cattle?" "I am sure I don't know, you old lunatic," I answered, as I scrambled up the rock to bid him good-bye. It was a rock with a razor top like the ridge of a house, and there, hanging across this ridge like a pair of nether garments on a clothes-line, I found the "Eater-up-of-Elephants."
"Why not kill him yourself, Masapo," asked the agitated Umbezi, "or bid your headmen kill him? Who am I that I should take precedence of so great a chief in a matter of the spear?" Then he turned towards me, saying: "Oh, Macumazahn the crafty, if I have dealt well by you, come here and give me your counsel." "I come, Eater-up-of-Elephants," I answered, and I did.
