Bright fires were kept blazing all the rest of the night, but, though lions could be heard roaring in the jungle, and though they ap- proached alarmingly close to the place where our friends were encamped, none of the savage brutes ventured within the clearing. With the valuable store of ivory aboard the Black Hawk, which was now completely re- paired, an early start was made the next morning. The Africans besought Tom and his companions to remain, for it was not often they could have the servi...ces of white men in slaying elephants and lions. "But we've got to get on the trail, " decided Tom, when the natives had brought great stores of food, and such simple presents as they pos- sessed, to induce the travelers to remain. SEEKING THE MISSIONARIES 131 "Every hour may add to the danger of the mis- sionaries in the hands of the red pygmies. " "Yes, " said Mr. Anderson gravely, "it is our duty to save them. " And so the airship mounted into the air, our friends waving farewells to the simple-hearted blacks, who did a sort of farewell war-dance in their honor, shouting their praises aloud, and beating the drums and tom-toms, so that the echoes followed for some time after the Black Hawk had begun to mount upward toward the sky.
