Amid silence that was intense wedrifted right down into that hornet's nest, Redvers clutching the dacoit chief, watching the dusky face for the least sign of treachery, the men nerv- ous but allert, with rifles actually at full cock, the remaining Burmese huddled together in our bow stupid with fright, and in the crow's nest overhead the steersmen guiding the big paddle with hair-breadth accuracy. It was a period of horrible uncer- tainty, and when at last the clumsy oraft floated between the double rows of canoes the suspense was almost un bearable. From fioth sides scores of savage faces watched us hourly ng on nuked bodies and the weapons firmly clutched in their quivering hands. We seemed to move by inches, and I could scarcely repress a shout of im- patience, Every eye was fixed on the chief, but in the face of Redvers' re volver, that dusky individual, who held all our lives in his hand, dared make no sign, and so we drifted on in solemn silence. : 3 I knew how fervently the savages longed to let fly their deadly spears. Even the chief, doubting his 'own in. fluence, was visibly disturbed, and I think he was as much relieved as any 'person present when the boat floated past the last bunch of canoes and the open river lay ahead of us. I wheeled round, rifle in hand, but not a dacoit stirred, and in this position I remained until a ourve in the river hid the enemy from view, 'We held on to our prisoner until we reached a point five miles below where the river narrowed and grew swifter. Here, true to my promise, I embarked him in shallow water, and, wading to shore, he plunged into the forest with- out a backward glance.
