We shall want it, if we have to walk thirty-five miles over the sand." "It will not be all sand," Zaki said; "there is grass for the last fifteen miles, near the river; and there were cultivated fields about ten miles out, before the Dervishes came." "That is better. Now we will be moving."
I shall be very glad to know that you will have a home to go to, when this war is quite over." "I shall never go, as long as my lord will keep me," Zaki said, fervently. "I certainly shall not part with you, Zaki, as long as I remain in this country, which will probably be for a long time."
Returning to the little hut that Zaki, with the aid of some of the blacks, had built for him; he gave his orders, and in a short time the camel a very good one, which he had obtained in exchange for that which he had handed over to the transport started, with its driver, to join those that were to carry up the baggage and stores of General Hunter, and his staff.
It is one thing to stab a man who is trying to take one's life, but it is quite another when he has fallen, and is helpless." Zaki had made no reply. He could scarcely understand his master's repugnance to making matters safe, when another blow would have done so, but it was not for him to blame.
The horse is fast, and there will be no fear of their catching you, even if they chase; which they will not be likely to do, as they will be thinking of attacking us." "Very well, master. I will do as you order me, but I would rather stop and fight, by your side." "That you may be able to do some other time, Zaki. This time, you have got to fetch aid." Then he rode on to join the chief.
"It may be so, sometimes," Gregory said quietly, "but not in this case. I advise you to ride your way, and we will ride ours." Then he said to Zaki, "Dismount and stand behind your horse, and fire over the saddle; but don't fire the first shot now." He threw himself from his saddle. Scarcely had he done so when four shots were fired, and Gregory took a steady aim at the chief.
I shall give my horse a good feed and an hour's rest, and then send my man down to the General, telling him that the Dervishes have deserted the town, and that we have taken possession of the place, and can defend it for a long time should they return." An hour later, Zaki started with Gregory's report.
As soon as he had breakfasted, he told Zaki to carry his portmanteau, bed, and other belongings to the house that served as a store for General Hunter's staff. He waited until his return, and then told him to take the two rifles, the packets of ammunition, the spears, and the Dervish dresses down to the steamer.
I can't say that I am dazzled by the honour. I should like to know my aunts, but as for the other two, I would not go across the street to make their acquaintance." He carefully stowed the letters away in his portmanteau, and then lay down for a few hours' sleep. "The day is breaking, master," Zaki said, laying his hand upon Gregory's shoulder. "All right, Zaki!
As to the fact that she was not of the same race or religion, he would never give it a thought. It would be quite enough for him that she was a woman." "And you," Mahmud said, turning to Zaki, "you are a Jaalin, are you not?" "I am." "Jaalin or Baggara, you are my friend," Mahmud said, placing his hand on Zaki's shoulders. "And so you, too, leapt overboard to save a woman?"
