One would say that the dog recognized the coast, and that its instinct recalled some sad remembrance. Negoro must have heard it, for an irresistible sentiment led him out of his cabin; and although he had reason to fear the dog, he came almost immediately to lean on the netting. Very fortunately for him Dingo, whose sad barks were all the time being addressed to that land, did not perceive him.
At Kazounde, the commercial quarter then belonged to that Jose-Antonio Alvez, of whom Harris and Negoro had spoken, they being simply agents in his pay. This contractor's principal establishment was there, he had a second at Bihe, and a third at Cassange, in Benguela, which Lieutenant Cameron visited some years later.
Negoro had not pronounced a single word, but his face had grown pale for a moment. Letting go of his hand-spike, he regained his cabin. "Hercules," then said Dick Sand, "I charge you especially to watch over that man." "I shall watch," simply replied Hercules, clenching his two enormous fists in sign of assent. Mrs.
Faith, I was at the end of my imagination, and after with great difficulty making them swallow ostriches for giraffes a god-send, indeed, Negoro! I no longer knew what to invent. Besides, I well saw that my young friend no longer accepted my explanations. Then we fell on elephants' prints. The hippopotami were added to the party.
Negoro, always silent, remained for half an hour observing the horizon. Long surges succeeded each other without, as yet, being dashed together. However, they were higher than the force of the wind accounted for. One must conclude from that, that there was very bad weather in the west, perhaps at a rather short distance, and that it would not be long in reaching these parts.
"And so, Harris," said Negoro, "you have not been able to draw this little troop of Captain Sand, as they call this novice of fifteen years, any farther into Angola?" "No, comrade," replied Harris; "and it is even astonishing that I have succeeded in leading him a hundred miles at least from the coast.
Weldon; "if Cousin Benedict, Jack, Nan and I, had not taken passage on the 'Pilgrim, and if, on the other hand, Tom and his companions had not been picked up at sea, Dick, there would be only two men here, you and Negoro! What would have become of you, alone with that wicked man, in whom you cannot have confidence? Yes, my child, what would have become of you?"
Put a white man to death!" repeated Moini Loungga, whose ferocious instincts were aroused by the Portuguese's proposition. "One of Alvez's agents has been killed by this white man," returned Negoro. "Yes, my agent, Harris," replied the trader, "and his death must be avenged!" "Send that white man to King Massongo, on the Upper Zaire, among the Assonas. They will cut him in pieces.
"I shall make two parties of them," replied Negoro, like a man whose plan had been long formed, "those whom I shall sell as slaves, and those whom " The Portuguese did not finish, but his ferocious physiognomy spoke plainly enough. "Which will you sell?" asked Harris. "Those blacks who accompany Mrs. Weldon," replied Negoro.
"This Harris is a traitor, and it is according to Negoro's plan that he led us this far." "For what motive?" quickly asked Mrs. Weldon. "I do not know," replied Dick Sand; "but what I do know is, that we must return, without delay, to the coast." "That man a traitor!" repeated Mrs. Weldon. "I had a presentiment of it! And you think, Dick, that he is in league with Negoro?" "That may be, Mrs.
