On Tyope's left a rustling sound was heard; he turned around. One of his men was cautiously approaching.
"There are Moshome in front of us."
"I know it," replied the commander. "How many have you seen?"
"Two."
"And you saw them clearly?"
"Yes, but they sneaked off."
"Did they seem to come toward us?"
"They crept behind a juniper, and after that I could see nothing more."
"Do the others know it?"
"Not yet. Shall I tell them?"
