No light had been set, but a light had been extinguished, put out forever the light of life in the body of Tom Pearce.
The only sign of our underlying anxiety was a vague restlessness pervading the entire safari. Once on the march again, with the sun low in the west, the restlessness disappeared. The night came dark, because the moon rose late, and the air was still, so that the dust that lifted from beneath the feet of the oxen drifted along with the wagon.
