He said that when they stormed the cave he had seen a man run at a warrior in the cave to kill him.

Then as he came, he who was about to be slain threw down the shield and cried for mercy, and Galazi knew that this was no warrior of the Halakazi, but a very beautiful girl.

So he called to the man to let her alone and not to touch her, for the order was that no women should be killed.

But the soldier, being made with the lust of fight, shouted that maid or man she should die, and slew her.

Thereon, he--Galazi--in his wrath ran up and smote the man with the Watcher and killed him also, and he prayed that he had done no wrong.
"You have done well, my brother," said Umslopogaas.
