The sound of that particular voice was heard at a great distance, and only indistinctly, but on hearing it the Makololo commenced leaping about the ground like lunatics, several of them shouting, "Sindo! Sindo!"
"What are they waiting for?" exclaimed Hendrik in an impatient tone. "If they are going to put us to death, it would be almost better for us than to endure this misery." "True," rejoined Willem; "life is not worth much, suffering as we do; still, where there's uncertainty, there is hope. Think of that, Hendrik. We have seen nothing of Sindo to-day.
Willem strove to make him understand that he was recognised, hoping the knowledge of that would stimulate him to exert himself on their behalf. The attempt wholly failed. With a scornful expression upon his features, the man moved away. "That's Sindo," muttered Willem to his fellow-prisoners. "He appears at home among them. Will he not assist us?"
Macora was then entreated to spare the prisoner's life, and the entreaty was backed by the promise of a gun to replace the one lost in the river, on condition that Sindo should be allowed to live. For a time Macora remained silent, but at length made reply, by saying that he should never feel safe if the usurper were allowed to remain in the community.
Willem fancied that the man had a familiar look, and, examining him attentively, he recognised no less a personage than the banished Sindo, the individual whom he had saved from the wrath of Macora. Here was a sudden transition from despair to hope. Surely the would-be chief could not be ungrateful! Perhaps he would intercede in their behalf! This was but his duty.
As the four pieces were discharged, a like number of Moselekatse's men went to the earth; and two more were shot down the next instant by Macora, Sindo, and another Makololo, all three of whom chanced to be armed with muskets. Under cover of their horses the hunters loaded again, and four more of their enemies were prevented from taking any further part in the conflict.
