He therefore lost no time in re-charging, and hurried forward as if he saw other game, while the rest of the party except Van der Kemp, Nigel, and Gurulam fell behind to look at and pick up the fallen animal. "Look out!" whispered Nigel, pointing to a bit of brown hair that he saw among the leaves high overhead. "Vere?
