Meyong hunted with me, found for me people to do my heavy work, ate my food and drank my rum, and slept. He did everything but work ; and yet he was the most faith- ful, trustworthy servant I ever had, and anything I wanted he would get, or, if too much trouble for him, induce some one to get for me. He studied my wants so closely that I had ever a retinue of willing young- sters at beck and call, all conjured up by Meyong to relieve his labors. His faithfulness and literal obedience to orders ...are well illustrated by the manner in which he procured for me a cook. We passed several weeks tranquilly together. My hammock swung in the breeze at night, and I was careful not to hunt in the breathless heat of noon. But there comes an end, sooner or later, to human enjoyment. Our cook, Meyong's sister, concluded, without warning, to visit a friend on the far side of the mountain ; and one day, when my guide and my- self returned hot and weary from the hunt, the sun at meridian and the parched earth radiating heat like a furnace, there was no breakfast, and no one to get it, either.
