Though it had not rained for over a month, the track was easy to follow, for luckily our friend did not use the beaten paths, preferring to make a new one. At about eleven o'clock, the track became much clearer, so with the utmost care we advanced, now and then stopping motionless to listen. Suddenly we heard terrific snorting, and the sound of a heavy body crashing through the underwood, but after some moments, silence reigned supreme again, this being due to the uncanny way these animals, representing so many tons of flesh, muscles and bones move through the forest without making unnecessary noises.
