summary:
  Then I came upon a group of old _amakehla_ who had just sat down to take snuff, and among them was my father, Ntelani, who, as I have said, loved me not overmuch. The nights became gloomy and wet and cold, and at times we would see gigantic spectres of men stalking aloft in the mists which overwreathed the cliff-brows; and strange wailing cries would go forth upon the night, as though the ghosts of those who had been slain and devoured by the _Izimu_ and such _abatagati_ were wandering abroad; and we would cower over our fire and still more wish we were back at Ekupumuleni, for we seemed to have got into the drear strongholds of wizardry, which would only end where the limits of the world fall off into dark space.

summary:
  I know not whether I slept, _Nkose_; it may be that I partly did; but there came a feeling over me as of the weight of some great terror, and indeed it seemed to hold me as though I could not move. It was time I decided to halt, _Nkose_.

summary:
  They had killed several white men, and might have returned with their clothes as proofs of their success; but their orders were to kill _all_ the white men, and they were now endeavouring to carry out these orders. The loss on our side in this encounter was small, though several men were wounded.

summary:
  If you want to better your future you must go abroad, where white men are at a premium. To be near the hills, to smell their odours, to see at the head of the glens the lines of the plateau where were white men and civilization--all gave me new life and courage.

  Now we have _men_ to deal with! Gerard, recognising his old enemy, had covered him with his revolver, and drew the trigger. And with the thought, it was all that poor Gerard could do to keep his nerves in hand, to retain his self-possession.

summary:
  At first Hans believed his plan had proved entirely successful; for the Zulus ceased following the traces of his footmarks, and ran in the nearly opposite direction, looking all the time on the ground for any signs of the white man's footmarks. At first Hans supposed that his words had been unintelligible to those to whom he spoke, but after some hours a sailor came down, and seeing him said-- You speak Ingleese.

  He added, however, that he was not sure whether the white men had been killed by the Kaffirs or by other white men with whom they had quarrelled. He knew well enough that this remarkable woman, Mameena, had made a deep impression on me nearly a quarter of a century before, as she had done upon other men with whom she had been associated.
