It was, of course, important to recover the horses and baggage-mules, and Maysotta proposed that she should conduct us to the edge of the forest, where we could remain while she, with Keokuk, searched for the animals, expressing, at the same time, her confidence of success. Having placed Clarice on my horse, I led the animal by the rein till we reached the spot proposed.
Four horsemen good, of the Zegri blood, with Lisaro go out; No flashing spear may tell them near, but yet their shafts are stout; In darkness and in swiftness rides every armed knight The foam on the rein ye may see it plain, but nothing else is white.
In less than half an hour after the alarm was given, the lifeboat swept down to the beach, the horses, obedient to the rein, flew round, the boat's bow was presented to the sea, and the carriage thrust as far into the surf as was possible.
He dropped bleeding in the dust at the second that Alwa and Mahommed Gunga each saw an opportunity and rushed in, to rein back face to face, grinning in each other's faces, their horses' breasts pressed tight against the charger that Jaimihr rode. The horse screamed as the shock crushed the wind out of him. "You robbed me of my man, sahib, by about a sabre's breadth!" laughed Alwa.

A fair proportion of the cavaliers, released from the restraint etiquette had imposed upon them, gave the rein to their horses, and darted after the carriages which bore the maids of honor, as blooming as so many virgin huntresses around Diana, and the human whirlwind, laughing, chattering, and noisy, passed onward. The king and Madame, however, kept their horses in hand at a foot-pace.
White hands cling to the tightened rein, Slipping the spur from the booted heel, Tenderest voices cry, 'Turn again, Red lips tarnish the scabbarded steel, High hopes faint on a warm hearth-stone He travels the fastest who travels alone.
The sword twirled once a flash then it descended, severing the lance in front of the owner's grip. The fragment fell to the earth. "Now yield thee!" The Sheik drew rein. "Why dost thou not kill me?" "I have a message for thy master yonder, the Lord Mahommed." "Speak it then." "Tell him he is in range of the cannon on the towers, and only the Emperor's presence there restrains the gunners.
