Ten minutes' close search brought to light a pile of bones that might or might not be those of the missing animals Cumshaw had no knowledge of anatomical structure and so did not feel quite clear on that point but the remarkable feature about them in his eyes was that they were all more or less blackened, and amongst them he found a heap of lime-dust, which he took to be bones reduced to their elemental form by the application of great heat.
Never removing his eyes from Lewis's face, the sultan completed the ceremony of the buyo, and after deliberately rolling a quid of betel-nut, lime-dust, and tobacco leaves, the august person stuffed it into his mouth. The trees rang with silence. Lewis thought his ears would burst as he strained them to catch the first sound that was to decide his fate.
He was quite right, for just as I knocked at Mrs Maine's door, a regular squandering, scattering fire began, and you could hear the bullets striking the wall with a sharp pat, bringing down showers of white lime-dust and powdered stone. I found Mrs Maine seated on the floor with her children, pale and trembling, the little things the while laughing and playing over some pictures.
