"I weary of hunting beasts, let us hunt men to-night." "Ay, to-night," said Umslopogaas, nodding.

"I long to look upon that captain as a maid longs for her lover's kiss.

But first let us rest and eat, for the night is young; then, Galazi, summon our impi." So they rested and ate, and afterwards went out armed, and Galazi howled to the wolves, and they came in tens and twenties till all were gathered together.

Galazi moved among them, shaking the Watcher, as they sat upon their haunches, and followed him with their fiery eyes.
"We do not hunt game to-night, little people," he cried, "but men, and you love the flesh of men." Now all the wolves howled as though they understood.

Then the pack divided itself as was its custom, the she-wolves following Umslopogaas, the dog-wolves following Galazi, and in silence they moved swiftly down towards the plain.
