Their drums struck up ; the women rose, and danced in triumph over the fallen wrestler, and sang in defiance to the opposite party.
Página 47 - A few women and children ran from me in a fright ; but the majority, less timid, approached as near as they could to catch a glimpse of the first white man they had ever seen. My appearance seemed to interest them amazingly, for they tittered and wished me well, and turned about to titter again.
