South Africa

summary

A hunting party locates Willem with a captured young giraffe and secures a second, while suffering thefts, a rhinoceros stampede and other hazards but ultimately recovering most of their stock. Congo tracks the stolen giraffes to a camp, is seized and abandoned, yet is saved after Spoor’em signals their approach; Willem and Hendrik retake the animals and subdue the thieves. The group returns to Graaf Reinet, delivers the giraffes to the consul for the reward, rewards their native attendants, and the story closes with two marriages and departures.
