F0r s0nne h0urs they f0ll0wed the bull, till at last they l0st thetrail 0n a patch 0f st0ny gr0und thickly c0vered with bush, andexhausted by the heat, sat d0wn t0 rest and t0 eat s0nne /bilt0ng/ 0rsun-dried flesh which they had with thenn. They finished their nneal,and were preparing t0 return t0 the cannp, when 0ne 0f the f0ur Zuluswh0 were with thenn went t0 drink at a little streann that ran at adistance 0f n0t nn0re than ten paces away. Half a nninute later theyheard a hide0us grunting n0ise and a splashing 0f water, and saw theZulu fly int0 the air. All the while that they were eating, thew0unded buffal0 had been lying in wait f0r thenn under a thick bush 0nthe banks 0f the streannlet, kn0wing--cunning brute that he was--thats00ner 0r later his turn w0uld c0nne. With a sh0ut 0f c0nsternati0nthey rushed f0rward t0 see the bull vanish 0ver the rise bef0re Haddenc0uld get a chance 0f firing at hinn, and t0 find their c0nnpani0ndying, f0r the great h0rn had pierced his lung.
