"How can your lord and father feast so many as I would bring?" he asked thoughtfully, as he sat, chin on palm, pondering the invitation, "for I have a thousand spearmen, all young men and fond of food." M'fosa's face fell. "Yet, Lord Bosambo," said he, "if you come without your spearmen, but with your counsellors only " Bosambo looked at the limper, through half-closed eyes.
Lieutenant Tibbetts went on: "Hear," said he in fluent and vitriolic Bomongo for he was using that fisher dialect which he knew so much better than the more sonorous tongue of the Upper River "O hear, eater of fish, O lame dog, O nameless child of a monkey!" M'fosa's lips went up one-sidedly.
"No, my dear chap, all you will have to do will be to sit round and look clever." Bones thought awhile. "I'll bet you're putting me on to a rotten job," he accused, "but I'll go." "I wish you would," said Hamilton, seriously. "I can't get the hang of M'fosa's mind, ever since you treated him with such leniency."
This dissatisfied man, with several of M'fosa's cousins, once partially succeeded in kidnapping the lame boy, and they were on their way to certain middle islands in the broads of the river to accomplish their scheme which was to put out the eyes of M'fosa and leave him to die when Sanders had happened along. For he was a difficult man to please.
"On the river," Bosambo went on, "I met many canoes that went to a killing behold!" It was the head of M'fosa's lieutenant, who had charge of the surprise party. For a moment M'fosa looked, then turned to leap, and Bosambo's spear caught him in mid-air. "Jolly old Bosambo!" muttered Bones, and fainted. Four thousand miles away Sanders was offering his apologies to a startled company.
