Heu-Heu, or the Monster Chapter 1 - The Storm

In which a retired adventurer and his companions, gathered in the cosy smoke-room of Quatermain’s Yorkshire home, are drawn into a tale of a tempestuous night on the Drakensberg foothills, where a gathering storm and treacherous terrain force a perilous seek for shelter in a long-forgotten cave. In the midst of thunder and lightning, the story reveals the steadfast loyalty of the Hottentot Hans and hints at ancient mysteries lurking in the African wilds.
