Not a week passed without adding a pair of tusks sometimes two or three pairs to the collection, which now began to assume the form of a little pyramid of ivory standing near the bottom of the nwana. Von Bloom, however, was not quite satisfied with his progress. He thought they might do far better if they only had a few dogs.
They had done so many a time, and as no harm had happened to the children in their absence, such a course became habitual with them. Jan and Trüey were cautioned not to stray far from the nwana, and always to climb to the tree, should they perceive any animal that might be dangerous.
These were taken back to the wagon and harnessed in; and then the great vehicle once more "trekked" across the plains. Before the sun had set, the long white cap-tent was gleaming under the leafy screen of the gigantic "nwana."
But that would not be before the morning; so all of them, fatigued by the extraordinary exertions of the day, finished their suppers of broiled trunk, and went to rest under the protecting shadow of the nwana. Fatigued as they were, they would soon have fallen asleep. But they were not permitted to do so.
Some demonstration must be made to drive the brutes away from the camp. Von Bloom, Hans, and Hendrik, laid hold of their guns, and got out of the wagon, while Swartboy armed himself with his bow and arrows. All four stood close by the trunk of the nwana, on the other side from that where the fires were.

All this Von Bloom had heard, and all of it is positively true. Of course the reflection occurred to him, why could he not do the same? Why could he not build a house in the gigantic nwana? That would give him all the security he desired. There they could all sleep with perfect confidence of safety.
