Godley, who was returning by road to Zeerust and Mafeking, and, accompanied by Captain Seymour Fortescue, who had a few days' leave, and by Major Bobby White, I left on June 25 for Johannesburg. The train was painfully slow, and rarely attained a speed of more than five or six miles an hour.

"I fear Professor Fortescue is very ill," said Valeria restlessly. Her face was flushed, and her eyes burnt. "I fear he is," said Hadria sadly.
