So he clothed himself, hiding his nakedness, and, leaving Galazi, descended to that kraal where the old woman had dwelt, and there gave it out that he was a young man, a chief's son from a far place, who sought a wife.

The people of the kraal listened to him, though they held that his look was fierce and wild, and one asked if this were Galazi the Wolf, Galazi the Wizard.

But another answered that this was not Galazi, for their eyes had seen him.

Umslopogaas said that he knew nothing of Galazi, and little of wolves, and lo! while he spoke there came an impi of fifty men and entered the kraal.

Umslopogaas looked at the leaders of the impi and knew them for captains of Chaka.
At first he would have spoken to them, but his Ehlose bade him hold his peace.
