exultation, the machilleiros shouted with a new vigour, and
drums were beaten with redoubled energy, ceaselessly
encouraging the heated throng which moved helter-skelter
towards the town. All together we arrived in the plaza
of Ohibinga just as the hands of my watch touched the
hour of nine. Eight in front of us was Senhor Eubero’s
house. We had been away for four days and four hours,
and had covered a hundred miles of ground. This statement
is given as a fact, not as a feat.
