"Kill them one by one, that I may see whether they know how to die, all except Macumazahn and the tall girl, whom I keep." Some of the soldiers made a dash and seized the Vrouw Prinsloo, who was standing in front of the party.
"Wait a little, King," she called out as the assegais were lifted over her.

"How do you know that the bet is lost?
He whom you call Macumazahn hit that last vulture.

It should be searched for before you kill us." "What does the old woman say ?" asked Dingaan, and Halstead translated slowly.
"True," said Dingaan.

"Well, now I will send her to search for the vulture in the sky.

Come back thence, Fat One, and tell us if you find it." The soldiers lifted their assegais, waiting the king's word.
