she cautiously sucked the dew from
her garment, drawing 1t up to her
mouth and squeezing 1t between her
lips.
1t was little enough refreshment,
but II was something. and she was not
afraid. which made a difference. Just
as she had drawn the edge of her shift
down pnd round her ankles again. the
man 3drnod ON his side suddenly. and
then rose to his feet. For an instant
he glared at her. and she saw that
his blue eyes were bloodshot and
burning; then he picked up the heavy
camel bag. and began to make his
way round what had been the beach Of
the pool, towards the passage through
which they had entered. and which
was now dry cave. wide below. mar
row at the top. and between six or
seven feet high. He trod carefully
and tried his way, for he feared the
quioksand. but he knew that there
was none in the passage, since he had
walked through the water and had
felt the way hard under his feet. In
few moments he disappeared under
the rock.
Baraka knew what he meant to do:
he was going to try to dig through the
dam Mt the entrance to let the water
in. even II he could not get out; but
she did not move. for In that narrow
place and in the dark she could not
have helped him. She sat and waited
BY and by he would come out. drenched
with sweat and yet parching with
thirst. and he would glare Mt her hor.
ribly again: perhaps he would be mad
when he came out and would kill her
because she had brought him there.
After some time she heard very
faint sound overhead and when she
looked up the yulture was gone from
his pinnacle. She wondered Mt this.
and her eyes searched every point
and crevicc OF the rock ms far as she
could see. for she knew that the evil
bird could only have been frightened
away: and though II fears neither
bird nor beast. but only man. she
could not believe that any human be.
Ing could find n foothold near 10
where II had pcrchcd.
For some seconds. perhaps for n
whole minute. she saw nothing. though
she gnzcd up steadily. then she saw
that small patch Of snowy white was
moving slowly on the face OF the clirr.
Mt some distance above the place
where the vulturc had been. She bent
