Racked by pain, I tossed from side to side, until sheer weariness kept me still; so still that the silence of death seemed to have fallen upon us; there was not a sound in all that sea of scrub, save the occasional sleepy grunt of one of the camels, until the quiet night re-echoed with the hoarse call of the "Mopoke," which seemed to be vainly trying to imitate the cheerful notes of the cuckoo.
But here it was suddenly sent upon her by the shock of a rifle shot. It would have sent a shudder to a stronger heart than hers that, in reply to her call on her dead mother, there came from the trees the shrill laugh of the mopoke the sardonic bird of the South. As she stood there, with this tragedy enveloping her, the dull boom of a cannon came across the valley. "From Ducos," she said.
