The village was deserted, the huts gaped black, rotting,
all askew within the fallen enclosures. A calamity had
come to it, sure enough. The people had vanished. Mad
terror had scattered them, men, women, and children,
through the bush, and they had never returned. What
became of the hens I don't know either. I should think the
cause of progress got them, anyhow. However, through
this glorious affair I got my appointment, before I had
fairly begun to hope for it.
