Soa went down the line, rapidly examining the faces of the slaves. "Do you see any of Mavoom's people?" asked Leonard anxiously. "Not here, White Man; let us go to the next shed, unless you want to loose these."
Wind and water are all very well, but we have too much of them here." "Hearken," said Leonard, "while you revelled, the last of Mavoom's men vanished, and these are left in their place," and he pointed to the knives. "Is it so, Baas?" answered Otter with a hiccough. "Well, they were a poor lot, and we shall not miss them.
"One of Mavoom's people," she said; "I know the fashion of the anklets." Then they marched on for two hours or more, till at length they came to a spot where the trail ran to the edge of the water and stopped. "What now, Otter?" said Leonard. "Here the slaves are put on boats, Baas," the dwarf answered. "The boats should be hidden yonder," and he pointed to some thick reeds.
