The joy of all was great, at seeing such a fine lot of venison, but Jan's rejoicing was greater than all; and he no longer envied Truey the possession of her little gazelle. It would have been better that Jan had never seen the little "ourebi," better both for Jan and the antelope, for that night the innocent creature was the cause of a terrible panic in the camp.
It now fell to Jan's lot to explain all this mysterious business. He had been lying in the wagon along with the rest, but not like them asleep. No. He could not sleep a wink for thinking on his new pet, which, for want of room in the wagon, had been left below tied to one of the wheels. Jan had taken it into his head that he would like to have another look at the ourebi before going to sleep.
He was awakened, however, by a shrill squeak, as of some animal in the agonies of death; and then there was a second squeak, that seemed to be suddenly interrupted by the stifling of the creature's utterance! In these cries Von Bloom, as well as the others who were now also awake recognised the bleat of the ourebi, for they had heard it several times during the afternoon.
