By this time I had regained my horse, that was brought to meet me, and I followed to the spot, toward which my wife and the aggageers, encumbered with the unwilling apes, were already hastening.

Upon arrival I found, in high yellow grass beneath a large tree, the tetel dead, and Abou Do wiping his bloody sword, surrounded by the foremost of the party.

He had hamstrung the animal so delicately that the keen edge of the blade was not injured against the bone.

My two bullets had passed through the tetel.

The first was too high, having entered above the shoulder--this had dropped the animal for a moment; the second was through the flank.
The Arabs now tied the baboons to trees, and employed themselves in carefully skinning the tetel so as to form a sack from the hide.
