It was not long before MacGregor returned. "Fixed it up all right," he announced, "and now I'm off. If, just before dawn, you hear the cry of a gnu you'll know it's this johnny returning, so please keep the sentries well in hand." The subaltern accompanied the Rhodesian past the alert sentries; then, with Wilmshurst's good wishes for the best of luck, MacGregor vanished into the night.
As the distance decreased he could make out the man's features, quite distinctly, and could see him talking volubly with the German officers on either side. The Askaris were numerically far stronger than Wilmshurst's platoon, but the Haussas had a great advantage that of being the surprising force.
Then the detachment, moving to the right in column of fours, marched at a rapid pace along a comparatively clear path through the scrub. When the three platoons had taken up their position at the indicated spot Wilmshurst's platoon had still a distance of two miles to cover and that two miles was the roughest part of the whole day's march.
