He therefore lost no time in re-charging, and hurried forward as if he saw other game, while the rest of the party except Van der Kemp, Nigel, and Gurulam fell behind to look at and pick up the fallen animal. "Look out!" whispered Nigel, pointing to a bit of brown hair that he saw among the leaves high overhead. "Vere?
Their leaders instantly withdrew them to the shelter of the brow of the hill. "I think," said John Gudyill, while he busied himself in re-charging his guns, "they hae fund the falcon's neb a bit ower hard for them It's no for nought that the hawk whistles."

Two of this number fell, but this did not check them, and they were within fifty yards of Bart, who was rapidly re-charging, when Joses roared out: "Knives knives out! Don't run!"
Of course the mare soon carried him out of range, and again he had the satisfaction of observing that the fugitives had increased their distance from the foe. "One more check o' this kind," thought Dick, "and they'll be safe I think." While thus thinking he was diligently re-charging, and soon cantered to the top of a third knoll, where he resolved to make his final stand.

Hertzog and Kritzinger, who had been relied on for this purpose, were not at hand; more than a third of the force with which De Wet had originally left the Doornberg had declined to leave the Free State; and the transport had been lost.
Carefully re-charging his gun with ball, and seeing that his knife and axe were at hand, he left the toboggan behind, lest it make a noise among the trees and alarm the quarry. In less than a quarter of a mile, however, we came upon a sign that the bear had passed but a few minutes before.
