Chapter XVIII
THE DEATH OF ONE EYE From now on Sunrise was the leader of his people. They never got over the bullying which he gave them, when they were numb and empty of fight. He only had to command and he was obeyed; only once was there anything like grumbling. They crossed the plateau, and descended into the barren plains upon the other side. Here night overtook them; and as before a bitter frost threatened them with death.
