"Now," said Whitson, "go ahead, and no nonsense!" "If I tell the whole truth," said Ghamba, still speaking English, and with a fair accent, "will you swear not to burn me, but to shoot me, so that I shall die at once?" "I will," said Whitson. "You too must swear," said Ghamba, looking at Langley. "Yes, I swear."
If you have to shoot, aim low." In a few minutes Ghamba returned. "Come on," he said. "He is sitting at the fire in front of the cave. I have just seen him." "Where is the cave," asked Whitson, "is it far from here?" "We will reach it very soon; you can see the light of the fire from a few paces ahead."
Some months later in the same year, when Troopers George Langley and Hiram Whitson also applied for ten days' leave of absence, likewise to proceed to Pietermaritzburg, the leave was granted; but the officer in charge of the detachment laughingly remarked that he hoped they were not going to follow Dollond and Franks.
He looked calmly at the three dead bodies, but said not a word. Langley held him, while Whitson again tied his feet together with the belt, and then they placed him with his back against a rock, facing the fire, which was still blazing brightly. His lips were drawn back in a ghastly, mirthless, grin, and the tusks were revealed from point to insertion.
"For my life I could not have thought how to get rid of them peaceably to offer to open the gates!" "I can't soothe the Indians," said Ensign Whitson, with a quick flush. "My gorge rises at the very sight of them." "If a dog licks my hand, I must needs pat him on the head," said Stuart, lounging easily among the soft rugs that covered the chair.
Whitson loaned me some pamphlets, but I didn't have time to read them through." Jack accompanied his friend down to the front door. Here Karl, having heard them descending the stairs, joined them; and so far as Paul could see there was no change in the boy's manner. If he had done wrong he must be clever enough to hide the guilt that lay in his heart, and put on a bold face.
Langley went back to camp, Ghamba looking after his retreating figure with a smile that revealed his teeth in a very striking manner. Whitson agreed at once to join in the enterprise, which was one after his own heart. Next day the three met at the big ant-heap, and Whitson was very much impressed by Ghamba's teeth.
John Lasater, of Franklin co., was murdered by John W. Whitson, who deliberately shot him with a shot gun, loaded with a handful of rifle balls, six of which entered his body. He lived twelve hours after he was shot. "Whitson is the son of William Whitson, who was unfortunately killed, about a year since, in a rencontre with Col.
"Very well," said Ghamba, "I will tell you everything, but you must both remember what you have sworn to." "Yes, all right," said Whitson. Ghamba then looked at Langley, who repeated the words. "I will tell you," said Ghamba, "all I can remember, and you can ask questions, which I shall answer truly.
If you will go in there and look where the rock is split on the right-hand side, you will " But he did not finish the sentence, for a bullet from Whitson's revolver crushed through his brain, and he tumbled forward on his face into the fire. It was only after tremendous difficulty that Whitson and Langley succeeded in escaping from the mountains.
