Ambrose supposed that Strange had made a deal with the Kakisas to put him out of the way. He believed that he was going straight to his death. He accepted it sooner than make an appeal to those who scorned him. He wished to speak to them before he went; but it was to warn them, not to ask for aid for himself. He faced the little group in the doorway.
She gave Colina to understand that the canoes were all tied up together and watched by the police. She signed that the Kakisas had a few horses up the river a little way that the police did not know about. They stole out of camp at dawn, caught a horse and rode up the river. Evidently there was regular travel between the two villages.
"He will make up what story he pleases, thinking that none of the Kakisas can testify except through him or through Gordon Strange, who is his friend." "Are you accusing Strange now?" interrupted the inspector. "Let me tell you: Strange is pretty highly thought of back at the fort." "No doubt!" said Ambrose with a shrug.
"Still weak," she said, "but there has been no return of fever. I have managed to keep the truth from him, but he suspects if. I cannot keep him in his room much longer." "Ah! It makes me mad when I think of him!" Strange muttered. There was a silence between them. His sympathy was sweet to her. She allowed it to lull her instinct of danger. "What about the Kakisas?" she asked.
When Ambrose and Simon Grampierre arrived at the tea-dance they found present as many of the Kakisas of both sexes as could be wedged within Jack Mackenzie's shack. All around the room they were pressed in tiers, the first line squatting, the second kneeling, the third standing, and others behind, perched on chairs, beds and tables, that all might have a clear view of the floor.
A pitiful little yelp behind him caused him to whirl about and dart inside again. "Hands off my dog!" he cried in a voice that caused the Kakisas to fall back in affright. There was a little light from the fire. Their attitude was conciliatory. In their own language they sought to explain.
