"Praise him, children of my father, since but for him none of us would see the light to-day." At this juncture Leonard himself arrived upon the scene, just in time to hear Juanna's words.

All the people of the Settlement took up the cry, and hundreds of other natives collected there joined in it.

They rushed towards him shouting: "Praise to thee, Shepherd of the Shepherdess! Praise to thee, Deliverer!" Then Leonard, in a fury, caught hold of Otter, vowing that if he dared to say another word he would instantly break his neck, and the tumult ceased.

But from that day forward he was known among the natives as "The Deliverer," and by no other name.
That evening, as Leonard, Juanna, and the priest sat at meat within the walls of the Settlement-house, with the plunder of the slave camp piled about them, talking anxiously of the fate of Mr.Rodd and wondering if anything could be done to discover his whereabouts, they heard a stir among the natives without.

At this moment Otter rushed in, crying: "Mavoom has come!" Instantly they sprang to their feet and ran outside the house, headed by Juanna.
