[Pg 12] When this hurricane of horses and men had, like a blazing meteor, devastated and laid low the splendid gold of the crops, two men remained behind, surveying the scene with visible satisfaction and undisguised interest. One of the two was tall and the other short. The tall man was Colonel Dupressoir, who had directed the manoeuvre.
