CHAPTER XIV.

DEARER THAN LIFE ITSELF
The persistency of the blacks was sp-
palling. When they got within 80 or 40
yards of Us, they discharged volley Of
spears and stones. We had knelt down
on the terrace, and the ledge being
higher than the floor they either ratified
harmlessly against the roof of the cav
ern or else struck against the ledge that
sAirted the terrace.
For a minute after this there was a
deathly stiffness, during which 1 could
actually hear the bubbling and splash
of the water at the spring, the cricking
of a cicada and the labored breathing OF
wounded Gordon in the cave.

CHATTER XVI.
DAILY HANDS IN HIS CHECKS.

DAILY HANDS IN HIS tHEthS-
The usual time for savages to make a
sortie upon an enemy is inst before
dawn-in that still hour when, it would
seem, tired nature is sunk IN her deep
est slumber But no attack had been
made upon us The blacks must have
decided upon another line of action.
That it was to starve and weaken us by
keeping us in the cave until we made a
last feeble effort to break through
them l had no doubt
All that we had now in the cave to
maintain life We're some tea and sugar
and half loaf of yeast bread which
was kept for the sick man The black
boys had sneaked out and dug up a few
yams at the foot of the terrace, with
which they doubtless kept their hunger
in check As yet L had not experienced
any particular discomfort from the
want of food. Jack and Savile declared
that all they wanted was drink of tea.
They were altogether SO cheerful, and
made so many jokes about their want
of appetite, that any unenlightened per
son might have supposed they had some
connection with picnic party. Only
DAILY was strangely silent He seemed
to be thinking, thinking, thinking; he
was species of skeleton at the feast,
but none Of US minded him much. l no
ticed that Elsie Gordon looked at him
curiously once or twice, then turned
away her head with an expression al
most akin to terror in her eyes. Luckily
we had plenty of tobacco, so that when
we men had lit our pipes we were not
SO badly off. 1t was necessary, however,
to determine upon some line of proce-
dure, it being suicidal policy to remain
in state of inaction, because the longer
it continued the less able we would be
to cope with the savages. If the squat
ter did not put in an appearance that
day or the next, or some Of the hands
come up from the station, we must
break through the blacks at any risk
The sun was now high above the
horizon line, and the day had fairly be

der the trees in what appeared TO be
greater numbers than on the previous
day We could see on the little iron

could have conquered him thus.

He snQtchcd q great ironlcoOd club from
one Of the SdUdgCS
cartridges. forced them into the slot
Then just rs the savages were making
a final rush and Savile's club flew from
his hands as blow from a boomerang
momentarily paralyzed his arm Elsie
Gordon, darting to his side, put the
loaded rifle into his hands This turned
the tide of that fierce onslaught. Savile
did not even put the rife to his shOul-
der, but, as the Americans say, literal
ly pumped the lead into the mass Of
bodies in front of him. The blacks way
cred, broke, seized their dead and
wounded and made back to the cover Of
the trees and powders some couple of
hundred yards away. If we could only
have had our horses just then and fol-
lowed up our victory, | have no doubt
but that we could have effectually dis
persed the blacks and saved ourselves.
As we were situated, however, it would
have been madness to have left the
shelter of the cave. Gordon was in such
weak and helpless condition that we
could not have Travelled. Suddenly
something occurred to mel ran down
the terrace to the spring and there
found a couple of blacks making away
from the narrow crevasse that opened
from it into the cave and which Norah
| Mackenzie had defended. / promptly
squared accounts with them
One noteworthy feature of the fight
was the behavior of Samson. On one
pressed by huge black this four footed
tactician, coming behind the latter, sank
| his teeth into his shins The terror and
| agony of the savage at this unexpected
attack were only equaled by the look OF
mortal terror on his face rs Savile, re-
covering himself swung his great club
| around his head and cracked his skull
1t was Jack who first discovered that
the blacks had taken with them our
provisions, which in the pack bags had
| been placed at the foot of the cliff AT
! this discovery we stared blankly at one
another, for if we were forced to re-
main in that cave for any length OF
| time we must starvc. Jack wanted tC

to recapture the provisions, but this
was a mad scheme and impracticable.
