Behold a hospitable native ready to receive us at his door! Let us avail ourselves of his kindness.

And now let us give ourselves to repose.

But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened?
What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people's feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance?
Let us rise up and inquire.

Behold! the inhabitants are all alarmed! A wakeful woman has shown them yon distant column of smoke and blaze.

The neighbouring village is on fire.
