Also I saw other things; for instance, my old father leaning down and looking at _me_ anxiously, and outside in the yard, for there were no doors to the wagon-house, a number of men with guns in their hands, some of whom I knew and others who were strangers.

In the shadow, too, against the wall, stood my blood mare with her head hanging down and trembling all over.

Not far from her the roan lay upon the ground, its flank quite red.
I tried to rise and could not, then feeling pain in my left thigh, looked and saw that it was red also.

As a matter of fact an assegai had gone half through it and hit upon the bone.

Although I never felt it at the time, this wound was dealt to me by that great Quabie whom Hans and I had received upon our spears, doubtless as he fell.
