I should not like to have done it," observed Natty. "That I am sure of," whispered Bella. "Natty would never wish to hurt any creature." The boys now led off the little koodoo. Stanley soon afterwards arrived, followed by Jack, with some beautiful birds and several rock-rabbits which they had shot. They congratulated me warmly on being so much better.
As I rode on, my spirits returned with the air and exercise, and my mind no longer dwelt on the events of the previous night; and the effects of the surumpe also began to wear off. Several rock-rabbits crossed our path, two of which Manco shot; and when we came to a height which sheltered us from the wind, we halted for breakfast.
"Well," said the Zulu captain, "it seems that we must fight the fight of 'sit-down, and since these rock-rabbits will not let us come to them we must wait till they come to us to ask for water."

I begged Manco not to shoot them, for we did not require food, and I never liked killing an animal for sport.
