I gave the old fellow some old clothes (Tommy I had already dressed up), also some flour, tea, and sugar, and lifted the child on to old Cocky's saddle, which had a valise in front, with two straps for the monkey to cling on by.

A dozen or two youngsters now also wanted to come on foot.

I pretended to be very angry, and Tommy must have said something that induced them to remain.

I led the horse the boy was riding, and had to drive the other three in front of me.

When we departed, the natives gave us some howls or cheers, and finally we got out of their reach.
