Then, panic-stricken, they broke and fled, the German officers setting them the example. As the so-called MacGregor wheeled his horse Bela Moshi, who had withheld his fire, saw his opportunity. At five hundred yards he sent a bullet crashing through the devoted animal's head. Like a stone the horse dropped, throwing its rider to the earth.
Crouching on the enormous limb Bela Moshi remained motionless for a few moments a patch of huddled black and khaki hardly distinguishable from the sun-baked bark. Then he dropped lightly to the ground and by a movement of his arms signalled to some of the Haussas to approach. "By Jove, Bela Moshi's found him!" exclaimed Danvers, and the three subalterns hurried to the spot.
When men come to this pass, Kôshi and Môshi themselves might preach to them for a thousand days, and they would not have strength to reform. Such hardened sinners deserve to be roasted in iron pots in the nethermost hell. Now, I am going to tell you how it came about that the vagabond son turned over a new leaf and became dutiful, and finally entered paradise.
"Had two years at Bart's and then chucked up the idea and came to Rhodesia. But this is somewhat remarkable; what do you make of it, sir?" The corporal held up for inspection the bullet that had narrowly escaped putting an end to Bela Moshi. "Automatic pistol bullet, by Jove!" exclaimed the subaltern, handling the piece of nickel.
According to plan the enveloping movement ought to have been completed an hour ago, but not a sign was given that "B" Company had arrived at their position a sun-baked donga at a distance of fifteen hundred yards behind the kopje. Up crept Bela Moshi, his ebony features distended in a most cheerful looking grin. "Hun him lib for sit down, sah!" he reported.
Danji kokorozashi wo tatete, kyokwan wo idzu; Gaku moshi narazunba, shisudomo kaeradzu, Few incidents of Japanese life are more surprising than the metamorphosis of the gawky student into the dignified, impassive, easy-mannered official.
With rifles ready to open fire they waited. They could see the coarse tufts waving in the moonlight. "Stand by!" exclaimed Wilmshurst, handing his rifle to Bela Moshi, and before his companions could grasp the situation the subaltern plunged into the grass, made a sudden dash, and was back with a healthy young lion cub in his arms.
Bela Moshi, wearing a broad smile, saluted. "Brass Pot, him head-bone blown inside out," he replied, as cheerfully as only a Haussa can when reporting losses amongst his comrades. "Nimshi Pali, him no good maquisha. Dat all dead, but plenty much Haussa hurt so many."
A man might say, "I've finished eating," for example, and yet in a few hours he will be again satisfying his hunger, but "maquisha" signifies finished in the penultimate sense the final extermination of a certain person or thing. "No, no, Bela Moshi," said Wilmshurst decidedly. "We want MacGreg taken prisoner. That's important.
Môshi says, "Benevolence is the heart of man; righteousness is the path of man. How lamentable a thing is it to leave the path and go astray, to cast away the heart and not know where to seek for it!"
