Strange stories of blacks stolen from Africa were remembered, of Chinese and Japanese contract coolies who had mysteriously disappeared, of lonely South Sea Islands raided and their inhabitants carried away; stories of yachts and merchant steamers, mysteriously purchased, that had disappeared and the descriptions of which remotely tallied with the crafts that had carried the Orientals and Africans and islanders away.
We rode to a distance of 18 miles, but still found ourselves far short of the hills, and therefore gave up the point. I considered, however, that we were about the same distance to the south, as Mr. Oxley had been to the north of them, and in taking bearings of the highest points, I afterwards found that they exactly tallied with his bearings, supposing him to have taken them from his camp.
The negro guide was brought up and his information tallied with the new comer's as far as he knew it, though he knew well only the road which they were on and which Darby said was stopped up.

The reasons which forced this conclusion on him were three: Firstly, the discription of the country in no wise tallied. Secondly, the course of the river differed.
This lost him five minutes, and unfortunately when he got to the meet, he found that a "travelling fox" had been tallied at the precise moment of throwing off, with which the hounds had gone away in their usual brilliant style, to the tune of "Blue bonnets are over the border."
We got little or no sleep that night, and my companions were as glad as I was myself when daylight came and we got busy with our breakfast. We arrived at the old pony-food depot, Safety Camp, during the forenoon of September 9, and dug out the stores and bales of compressed hay, which we carefully tallied and marked by setting up a large black flag. Then we continued towards Corner Camp.
As a result of your work and the Lady Dallona's, they'll lose that majority, and more, when the votes are tallied." "Is that another reason why you like me?" Verkan Vall asked. "Unofficially, yes. As President-General of the Society of Assassins, I must be nonpolitical.
