They came to the river and swam it, and there, eight spear throws away, on the farther side of the river stood the kraal.
Now the Wolf-Brethren took counsel together, and Galazi, with the dog-wolves, went to the north gate, and Umslopogaas with the she-wolves to the south gate.

They reached them safely and in silence, for at the bidding of the brethren the wolves ceased from their howlings.

The gates were stopped with thorns, but the brethren pulled out the thorns and made a passage.

As they did this it chanced that certain dogs in the kraal heard the sound of the stirred boughs, and awakening, caught the smell of the wolves that were with Umslopogaas, for the wind blew from that quarter.

These dogs ran out barking, and presently they came to the south gate of the kraal, and flew at Umslopogaas, who pulled away the thorns.
