PIET VAN DER WYCK had no difficulty in catching one of the masterless steeds while the Haussa secured the other. The animals seemed hardly distressed. They had been cantering along at an easy pace, and gave no indications of having been frightened. Bridle, saddle, and stirrups were in place; there was nothing to give a clue to what had befallen the riders.
"Perhaps," suggested Van der Wyck, "they dismounted and forgot to tether the animals."
