Oneof this tribe came to the station once and wanted to marry a girlthere. She would not consent, and told him to go home. He went, threatening to send a storm to wreck the station. The storm came; thehouse escaped, but stable, store, and cellar were unroofed. I told myBlack-but-Comelys to kindly avoid such vehemently revengeful lovers forthe future. CHAPTER X CHIEFLY AS TO FUNERALS AND MOURNING I was awakened one morning on the station by distant wailing. A wailing that came in waves of sound,... beginning slowly and lowly, togain gradually in volume until it reached the full height or limit ofthe human voice, when gradually, as it had risen, it fell again. Noshrieking, just a wailing inexpressibly saddening to hear. I lay for some minutes not realising what the sound was, yet penetratedby its sorrow. Then came consciousness. It was from the blacks' camp, and must mean death. Beemunny, the oldest woman of the camp, who forweeks had been ill, must now be dead. Poor old Beemunny, who was blind and used to get hergreat-granddaughter, little Buggaloo, to lead her up to the treeoutside my window, under whose shade she had spent so many hours, telling me legends of the golden age when man, birds, beasts, trees, and elements spoke a common language.
