1.-THE BRUTES sTREAMED ON TOWARD ME. -
on to US fired, with ever more deadly
effect than before, for at that distance
every slug told on their long line. The
bowls and screams of rage and fury
were now something tnconceivable.
One might have thought we were doing
battle with host of demons; indeed in
that light-for the overhanging arch Of
rock made it very dark-the crashing
shouts and somber, glowing eyes Of
the apes looked like those of devils as
they are represented by monkish fancy.
But the last shot was too much for them;
they withdrew, dragging some of their
wounded with them, and thus gave us
time to get our men up the cliff. In
few minutes all were there, and we adj
vanced down the passage, which pres
emily opened into rocky gully with
shelving sides. This gully had water
way at the bottom of it; it was about
hundred yards long, and the slopes on
either side were topped by precipitous
cliffs. looked at these slopes; they
literally swarmed with balloons, grunt-
ing, barking, screaming and beating
their breasts with their long arms in
fury. 1 looked up the waterway; along
1t, accompanied by a mob, or, as it were,
guard of balloons, came Hendrika, her
long hair flying, madness written on her
face, and in her arms was the senseless
form of little Tota.
She saw US, and foam of rage burst
from her lips. She screamed aloud. To
me the sound was mere articulate CRY,
but the balloons clearly understood it,
for they began to roll rocks down on
to US. One bowlder leaped past me and
struck down Kafir behind; another
fell from the roof of the arch on to
mans head and killed him. Indaba-
zimbi lifted his gun to shoot Hendrika;
I knocked it up, so that the shot went
over her, crying that he would kill the
child. Then / shouted to the men to
open out and form a line from side to
side of the shelving gully. Furious at
the loss of their two comrades, they
obeyed me, and keeping in the water
way myself, together with Indaba-zimbi
and the other guns, gave the word to
charge.
Then the real battle began. 1t is
difficult to say who fought the most
fercely, the natives or the balloons
The Kafirs charged along the slopes,
and as they came, encouraged by the
screams of Hendrika, who rushed to and
fro holding the wretched Tota before
her as a shield, the apes bounded at
them in fury. Scores were killed by the
assegais, and many more fell beneath
our gun-shots; but still they came on.
Nor did we go scatheless. Occasionally
man would slip, or be pulled over In
the grip of baboon. Then the others
would fling themselves upon him like
dogs on rat and worry him to death.
We lost five men in this way, and my
self received bite through the feshy
part of the left arm, but fortunately q
native near me sssegsied the animal be-
fore was pulled down.
At length, and all of sudden, the |
balloons gave up A panic seemed to
seize them Notwithstanding the cries |
of Hendrilza they thought no more of |

their horrible faces in their paws, and,
moaning piteously, waited to be slain.
Hendrika saw that the battle was
lost. Dropping the child from her arms,
she rushed straight at US, very picture
of horrible insanity. I lifted my gun,
but could not bear to shoot. After all
she was but mad thing, half ape, half
woman. So 1 sprang to one side, and
she landed full on Indaba-zimbi, knock
ing him down. But she did not stay to
do any more. Wailing terribly, she
rushed down the gully and through the
arch, followed by many of the surviving
balloons, and vanished from our sight.

continual passage of balloons; the Sec

Now there was no more doubt about
the matter. With beating heart be-
gan the ascent For the first twenty
feet it was comparatively easy for the
rock shelved; the next ten feet was
very difficult, but still possible for an
active man, and achieved it, followed
by Indaba-zimbi. But the last twelve
or fifteen feet could only be scaled by
throwing rope over the trunk OF
stunted tree which grew at the bottom
Of the opening. This we accomplished
with some trouble and the rest was
easy. A foot or two above my head the
handkerchief f1uttered in the wind.

gully, which led to wide open space
of some sort. I looked through the
passage and saw that the gully was
black with balloons. On they came by
the hundreds. 1 unslung my elephant
gun from my shoulders and waited, call
ing to the men below to come up with
all possible speed. The brutes streamed
on down the gloomy gulf towards
me, barking, grunting and show
ing their huge teeth. 1 waited till
they were within fifteen yards. Then 1
fred the elephant gun, which was loaded
with slugs, right into the thick of them. In
that narrow place the report echoed like
a cannon shot, but its sound was quickly
swallowed in the volley of piercing
groans and screams
that followed. The charge of heavy
slugs had plowed thr ugh a number
of the balloons, of which at least a
dozen lay dead or dying in the passage.
For moment they hesitated, then they
came on again with hideous clamor.
Fortunately by this time Indaba-zimbi,
who also had gun, was standing BY my
side, otherwise should have been torn
to pieces before could reload. He fred
both barrels into them, and again
checked the rush. But they came on
