I did not want to fight with the Partisans but we had to do away with these outposts and that without firing or we never should get through the pass.

"I shall take for my share these two," whispered my friend, pointing to the left outpost.
Spoors and two others of them had been drafted into the other vessel, while the other three remained on board of the Bronx. They were not regarded as very dangerous enemies, and they were not in condition to undertake anything in the absence of their leaders. Christy had inquired in regard to the condition of Pawcett and Hungerford before he went to his cabin, and Dr.
The only other name Dave was able to obtain was that of Spoors, one of the quartermasters; and very likely he is also another." "We have almost a double crew on board, Captain Passford, and what can eight men do to capture this vessel?" asked Flint. "I don't know what they intend to do, and I must give it up.
The Buffalo River had to be crossed by means of a pontoon; the road to this was cut through dense jungle. Judging by the spoors crossing the road this jungle must have been full of game. After the show a large picnic was held in the forest at the well-known Second Creek. The guests were conveyed to the spot by a paddle tug, the Buffalo.
The chiefs collecting hut-tax will be paid 10 per cent. of the sums they collect. "Art. 8.

But scarcely had he spoken when the booming roar of a lion came from the direction of the pool; to be immediately answered by another, and another; until it was evident that the pan had been invaded by a numerous troop of them. We both started to our feet with the same thought in our minds.
We scraped a hasty grave in the sand for the poor remains, and stood gazing silently across the dunes in the direction that the fresh spoors showed the two poor creatures had come from; stood there regardless of our fatigue, and of the blazing heat, of everything in fact but the grim tragedy before us, and the terrible significance it bore for us, who would follow the same path.
"Those two johnnies must have had a rough time of it," thought the subaltern. "I can well imagine their difficulties.
