You can take care of the safari and be movin' along slow toward the north and the girl and I'll catch up to you." "But suppose she won't come?" suggested Baynes. "Then make another date for a last good-bye," said Hanson, "and instead of you I'll be there and I'll bring her along anyway.
And after two weeks you must send two men to M'tela's to find me, and to tell me where you are hidden. Now is all that understood? You, Simba, tell me what you are to do." "Mali-ya-bwana, myself, six men and these shenzis travel to where the safari of Bwana Nyele marches. When we are near that safari we tie up the two shenzis. Then we get Bwana Nyele and tie him up in a secret camp.
In his ape brain and his ape heart he had nursed the hope that he and the lad would never be separated. He saw all his fondly cherished plans fading away, and yet he remained loyal to the lad and to his wishes. Though disconsolate he gave in to the boy's determination to pursue the safari of the white men, accompanying him upon what he believed would be their last journey together.
Once two porters came to us for money. "What for?" asked C. "To buy a sheep," said they. For two months we had been shooting them all the game meat they could eat, but on this occasion two days had intervened since the last kill. If they had been on trading safari they would have had no meat at all. A sheep cost six rupees in that country, and they were getting but ten rupees a month as wages.
And they, racing eagerly forward, their faces illuminated with one of the strongest joys the native knows, shouted back: "Nyama! nyama!" For another two days the provisioning was assured. The little safari made the distance to Simba's guarded water in a trifle over the four hours. Camp was made high up on the kopje whence the eye could carry to immense distances.
That's X-Tee Patrol business. We don't land on any planet with unknown intelligent life forms. Why should we court trouble couldn't run a safari in under those conditions. X-Tee certified Jumala as a wild world, our survey confirmed that." "Someone or something landed here after you left?" "I don't believe so. This is too well organized an action.
"These watchers you don't know them?" "No. Nor do I like what you've seen of them, Brodie. So I'm willing to call a truce. The Guild believed Jumala an open planet, our records accredited it so. If that is not true we may be in for bad trouble. As an Out-Hunter I am responsible for the safety of three civs back there in the safari camp." Hume made sense, much as Rynch disliked admitting it.
The flavour would be rich of the barnyard, which even a strong infusion of tea could not disguise. Kingozi had often been forced to worse; but here he hoped for better. The safari had dumped down the loads at the top of the bank, and were resting in utter relaxation. The march was over, and they waited.
Where they were now in relation to Wass' camp or that of the safari, Vye had no idea, and he guessed that Hume could not be too certain. Hume switched on the flitter's com unit, tried a channel search until he picked up a click of signal the automatic reply of the safari camp.
We indicated our wants to him, and he retired after enunciating many words. The safari came in, made camp. We had tea and a bath. The darkness fell; and still no Chief, no milk, no firewood, no promises fulfilled. There were plenty of natives around camp, but when we suggested that they get out and rustle on our behalf, they merely laughed good-naturedly.
