There was an old bushman working there, occupied in selling fagots from trees that had been leveled by his axe. With one barrel of his ten- gauge shot-gun he had blown the life out of the bushman who had so nearly got him; with the other barrel he had peppered the bushmen bending over Sagawa, and had the pleasure of knowing that the major portion of the charge had gone into the one who leaped away with Sagawa's head. He could smell a crocodile farther off and more differentiatingly than could any man, than could even a salt-water black or a bushman smell one. |
