"Vultures sit or fly there also, Hans; and I would see how they fly, that I may know when and where to shoot at them." "That is right, baas," said the clever Hottentot.

But the aasvogels wheel round and round, always on the turn; it is easy to miss a bird that is turning, baas." "Very easy.
But when Groot Willem with his companions had ridden a considerable way up the kloof, and found Junkie's spoor mingling with that of baboons, he became earnest. When he came to the gnarled tree and discovered that it was joined by that of horses and Cape tigers, he became alarmed. A diligent examination was made. Drops of blood were found on the ground.
"To my intense relief, with a low growl she straightened herself, turned, and bounded further up the kloof. "'Come on, Inkoos, said Tom, 'let's get back to the waggon. "'All right, Tom, I answered.

Dove arrived from a little Kloof, where he had been engaged with the Kaffirs in cutting bushes to make a thorn fence round their camp as a protection against lions and hyenas. He looked older than when we last met him, and save for a fringe of white hair, which increased his monkish appearance, was quite bald.
