Umslopogaas placed his hands upon the back of the bull and leaped; he was on him, he sat him as you white men sit a horse.

Then he lifted the spear in his hand, and drove it down between the shoulders to the spine, and of a sudden the great buffalo staggered, stopped, and fell dead.
Galazi came up.

"Who now is the swiftest, Galazi ?" cried Umslopogaas, "I, or you, or your wolf host ?" "You are the swiftest, Umslopogaas," said Galazi, gasping for his breath.

"Never did a man run as you run, nor ever shall again." Now the wolves streamed up, and would have torn the carcase, but Galazi beat them back, and they rested awhile.

Then Galazi said, "Let us cut meat from the bull with a spear." So they cut meat from the bull, and when they had finished Galazi motioned to the wolves, and they fell upon the carcase, fighting furiously.
