Just
at
this
moment
,
Robert
was
well
nigh
the
victim
of
his
own
imprudence
.
To
make
sure
of
his
aim
,
he
had
approached
too
near
the
kangaroo
,
and
the
animal
leaped
upon
him
immediately
.
Robert
gave
a
loud
cry
and
fell
.
Mary
Grant
saw
it
all
from
the
brake
,
and
in
an
agony
of
terror
,
speechless
and
almost
unable
even
to
see
,
stretched
out
her
arms
toward
her
little
brother
.
No
one
dared
to
fire
,
for
fear
of
wounding
the
child
.
But
John
Mangles
opened
his
hunting
knife
,
and
at
the
risk
of
being
ripped
up
himself
,
sprang
at
the
animal
,
and
plunged
it
into
his
heart
.
The
beast
dropped
forward
,
and
Robert
rose
unhurt
.
Next
minute
he
was
in
his
sister
's
arms
.

"
Thank
you
,
Mr.
John
,
thank
you
!
"
she
said
,
holding
out
her
hand
to
the
young
captain
.
"
I
had
pledged
myself
for
his
safety
,
"
was
all
John
said
,
taking
her
trembling
fingers
into
his
own
.
This
occurrence
ended
the
sport
.
The
band
of
marsupia
had
disappeared
after
the
death
of
their
leader
.
The
hunting
party
returned
home
,
bringing
their
game
with
them
.
It
was
then
six
o'clock
.
A
magnificent
dinner
was
ready
.
Among
other
things
,
there
was
one
dish
that
was
a
great
success
.
It
was
kangaroo-tail
soup
,
prepared
in
the
native
manner
.
Next
morning
very
early
,
they
took
leave
of
the
young
squatters
,
with
hearty
thanks
and
a
positive
promise
from
them
of
a
visit
to
Malcolm
Castle
when
they
should
return
to
Europe
.

Then
the
wagon
began
to
move
away
,
round
the
foot
of
Mount
Hottam
,
and
soon
the
hospitable
dwelling
disappeared
from
the
sight
of
the
travelers
like
some
brief
vision
which
had
come
and
gone
.
For
five
miles
further
,
the
horses
were
still
treading
the
station
lands
It
was
not
till
nine
o'clock
that
they
had
passed
the
last
fence
,
and
entered
the
almost
unknown
districts
of
the
province
of
Victoria
.
