See Doppie coming now ?" I looked, but could make out nothing; yet I was satisfied it was so.

"Can you see help coming, Joeboy ?" I asked anxiously.
"Um?

"Um?
Yes, here um come." "Ah!" I cried, remembering now the signal agreed upon.

"Is it the Lieutenant--Mr Denham ?" "Joeboy can't see so far as that," replied the black.

"Only see horses coming fas'.

Coming to fetch wagons and plenty mealies and flour.
