Before thepack-horses came up, a mob of blacks approached the camp, and gettingup in the trees, took a good survey of the white intruders, but onone of the party going towards them they scampered off over the openground towards the river. The recollection of the affair at thecrossing place probably quickening their movements. Just atsun-down, however, the sharp eyes of the black-boys detected some ofthem actually trying to stalk the whites, using green boughs forscreens. So the Brothers taking ...with them Scrutton and the fourblack-boys, started in chase. They were in camp costume, that is tosay, shirt and belt, and all in excellent condition and wind, and nowa hunt commenced, which perhaps stands alone in the annals of naturewarfare. On being detected the natives again decamped, but this timeclosely pursued. The party could at any time overtake or outstep thefugitives, but they contented themselves with pressing steadilly onthem, in open order, without firing a shot, occasionally making aspurt, which had the effect of causing the blacks to drop nearly alltheir spears.
