Francis Macomber had, half and hour before, been carried to his tent from
the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and the shoulders of the cook,
the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken
no part in the demonstration. When the native boys put him down at the
door of his tent, he had shaken all their hands, received their
congratulation, and then gone into the tent and sat on the bed until his wife
came in. She did not speak to him when she came in and he left the tent at
once to wash his face and hands in the portable wash basin outside and go
over to the dining tent to sit in a comfortable canvas chair in the breeze and
the shade.
