He was white-bellied, with white arches above the eyes, and some long white hair under the throat.

Below his knees were yellowish tufts of long hair, and his horns--instead of being lyrate, like those of the springbok--rose nearly vertical to the height of four inches.

They were black in colour, round-shaped, and slightly ringed.

The doe was without horns, and was a much smaller animal than her mate.
From all these marks Hendrik thought the little antelopes were "ourebis;" and such they were.
He continued to stalk in upon them, until he was as close as he could get.

But he was still more than two hundred yards from them, and of course far from being within shooting distance with his small rifle.
A thick _jong dora_ bush concealed him, but he dared not go farther else the game would have taken the alarm.
