11/18 Black feller come after--throw 'im spear--close up MUMKULL*. BA'AL* can pull out spear, Oola plenty cry.' [*Coolla--in Blacks language, meaning Angry.] [*Nulla-nulla--A black's weapon.] [*Yan--To go away.] [*Mumkull--To kill.] [*Ba'al--No--Not.] Oola joined in with the black's plaintive wail. A comely half-caste who, as a child, had been partially civilised by a stockman's wife on one of the Leura out-stations, but who had, later, gone back to her tribe and married a Myall, as the wild blacks are called. |
