Ah! they were there, he saw them moving through the grass by the eastern gate; he saw the long lines of slayers creep to the left and the right. How could he pass them before the circle of death was drawn? Six spear-throws to run, and they had but such a little way! The mealie-plants were tall, and at a spot they almost touched the fence. Up the path!
So we made a circle of thorn-bushes and sat in it, holding our assegais ready. Presently the moon came up it was a full-grown moon and very bright, so bright that we could see everything for a long way round. Now some six spear-throws from where we sat was a cliff, and at the top of the cliff was a cave, and in this cave lived two lions and their young.
For there, on the crest of the hill, about ten spear-throws away, was a party of six armed men, people of my own tribe children of my father Makedama who still pursued us to take us or kill us. They saw us they raised a shout, and began to run. We too sprang up and ran ran like bucks, for fear had touched our feet. Now the land lay thus.
"You do not run so ill, my brother, who have been sick of late. See now if you can outrun me! Who shall touch the quarry first?" Now the bull was ahead by two spear-throws. Umslopogaas looked and grinned back at Galazi. "Good!" he cried, "away!" They sped forward with a bound, and for awhile it seemed to Umslopogaas as though they stood side by side, only the bull grew nearer and nearer.
