After that first brush, the blacks still for a time kept clear of the station buildings, but, now here, now there, they were always giving unpleasant proofs of their presence on the run. It was, in fact, the best bit of their hunting-ground, and therefore it is not astonishing that they considered the whites, instead of themselves, to be the trespassers. The black fellows speared the cattle and horses, and tried hard to kill the men and boys too. They had to look about them “with all their eyes” when they were riding past any cover.
194
Once Handsome Bob was missing for a couple of days. When he was found he was almost dead; for the blacks had knocked him off his horse with a boomerang,
gashed1 him with their tomahawks,
prodded3 at him with their spears till his flesh was like a perforated card, and then tied him to a tree which ants had connected with their hill by a little sunken path like a miniature railway-cutting. The ants and the flies had made an awful object of poor Bob’s
patchwork4 of wounds; and though he did at last most marvellously “recover,” as it is called, he was half silly ever afterwards.
Jawing5 Jim was kinder to him than you would have expected whilst he lay helpless in the hut, and Sydney and the boys, of course, looked in, and did what they could for him. But for hours he had to be left alone, with the chance that the blacks would
swoop6 down upon him and finish their work. When he did get about again, although half silly in other things, he had a strange, fierce
knack7 of surprising black fellows, and potting them from behind a tree as if they had been so many wild ducks.
195
Long before Handsome Bob was up again, his mates had been forced, as they thought, to be almost equally
savage8. Whenever they saw a black, they tried to kill him, as “naturally” as one tries to kill a snake or a
wasp
