Plenty mealie, coffee, sugar." "Yes, Joeboy," I said; "and we want one of those wagons and teams." "Um?
Yes, Boss," he said thoughtfully, without taking his eyes from the glass.

"Joeboy know how." "You do ?" said Denham quickly.

"Tell us, then." "Boss Colonel send Boss Val and hundred sojer fetch um." "It wouldn't do, Joeboy," I said sadly.

"There would be another big fight, and we should lose a lot of men and horses without getting the wagon." "Um?
Yes.

Too many Doppie." "That's right, Shiny," said Denham.
"Yes," I said; "we must wait till we see a team making for the kopje, and then the Colonel can send out a party and cut them off." "Then the Boer General will send out a bigger party and cut us off," said Denham bitterly.
