_b._ This figure, besides the mogope which she holds in her left hand, carries away in her flight, steadying it on her head with her right hand, a nkho (sesuto), a baked earthenware vessel, in which drinks are kept, and of which the ethnographic museum now contains some specimens. This woman, too, has lost all her clothing except the pudendal covering, and she looks pregnant. The attitudes of flight, while maintaining equilibrium, I deem very fine. _c_, _f_, _g_, _h_, _l_, _m_, and perhaps _j_. Women carrying their babies on their backs, as is the practice of the natives, in the so-called thari; that is, a sheepskin so prepared that they can fasten it to their bodies and hold it secure, even while bent to the ground or running. _l_ and _m_. Women with twins. It may be worthy of note that the painter has placed them last, hampered as they are with a double weight. _c._ Apparently a woman who has fallen in her flight. Figures _e_ and _i_ represent men, who by their stature might be thought to be Bushmen, as also by their color, which, so far as I remember, is not the same as that of the men coming up after them, being rather similar to that of the women. In that case _e_ would stoop to raise the woman _c_ who has fallen, and _i_ would point the way to the others. Otherwise, if there is question of Matebeles, which is rendered plausible by the fact that _n_ (which evidently represents an enemy) is not larger in stature than those two, then _e_ would stoop to snatch the baby of the fallen woman, and _i_ would strive to catch up with the two women _g_ and _h_, who flee before it. _j._ I can not explain this unless as a diffusion of color, which has transformed into something unrecognizable the figure of the child carried by its mother, who has fallen, like _b_. _k_ seems to be a woman resigned to her fate, who touches her neck with the left hand, unless, indeed, the line which I take to be the arm is the sketch of the thari with the baby. _l._ A woman who runs toward the looker-on. _m_ represents a woman who has sat down, perhaps in order to place her twins better in the thari, while behind her _n_ arrives, preparing to spear her. With _n_ the band of enemies begins plainly, _o_ seeming to be the leader, who, standing still, gives the signal. But this figure must have been altered by the water, which by diluting the color of the body has made it appear as a garment. _p_ and _q_. These admirable portraits of impetuosity and menace are a pictorial translation of the saying “having long legs so as to run fast.” _r._ A fine type of an attitude in the poise of running.
