So d'uring.t'he rains that broke the manacles of winter the bushmen came together, 's. rnng-armed and clear of eye. strongof purpose and true to the great law. that governed them.

Boy let him pass, his intention being to drop back into the timber and run ahead of him. Just as Boy `was about to creep back into the bu=h he heard the muf- fled tread of a man's foot. He waited, `his hand fumbling the lock of his rifle. As he peered through the bush he could hardly ' suppress an exclamation. for Amos Broad; crook, h`s` huge form bent and his face haggard and sunken, crept swiftly past him. Five paces on the ,man sank `on one knee and threw his rifle forward. Boy was quick to divine his motive and ius` as quick to act. His own rie was ' leveled and one second before.
