I was their father, O Elephant in a pit, and one Dingaan slew them.

Of them thou shalt hear also.

Now away, for the path is far!" Two days went by, my father, and Dingaan sat bound and alone in the cave on Ghost Mountain.

We had dragged him slowly up the mountain, for he was heavy as an ox.

Three men pushing at him and three others pulling on a cord about his middle, we dragged him up, staying now and again to show him the bones of those whom he had sent out to kill us, and telling him the tale of that fight.
Now at length we were in the cave, and I sent away those who were with us, for we wished to be alone with Dingaan at the last.
