News of our arrival has already been sent forward to Lobelalatutu, the king; and his will concerning us will be made known as soon as it comes; but, meanwhile, Matemba, the 'mfana who spoke with me, advises that we outspan until that will be made known." "Um!" remarked Dick; "that does not sound altogether promising, eh, Phil?
"Well, Mafuta, what is the news?" demanded Dick, as the Kaffir approached. "The news, Chief, is good," answered Mafuta, saluting. "We have arrived within the borders of the Makolo country; and the word of the 'mfana who spoke with me is that it will be wise of my fathers to outspan at the first suitable halting place until the will of the king regarding them be made known.
Seems to indicate that there may possibly be difficulties put in the way of our penetrating the country, doesn't it? What did you say to the 'mfana Mafuta?"
As for the witch doctor, his face wore a smile of concentrated malice, as though he anticipated something in the nature of a conflict with this audacious white mfana and was already exulting in the prospect of a quick and overwhelming victory. Suddenly he fixed his eyes intently upon Dick's, and said, in soft, sibilant tones: "Well, 'mlungu, what want ye with Sekosini?"
