Chapter IX
The day passed; night came and passed also, and another day dawned, but there was no appearance of Zombo and his men, until the sun had been up for some hours. Then they came back, wending their way slowly--very slowly--through the woods, with the whole of the slave-gang, men, women, and children, at their heels! "Where is Marizano?" inquired Harold, almost breathless with surprise. "Dead!" said Zombo. "Dead?"
