North bank of the Limpopo River.
"Mr. Wiggins! These past months have been hard on you. We have a small boat ready. Once you cross the river, you can return to the Transvaal Republic. This is a letter, and we hope you can deliver it to your president." An East African warrior handed a letter to Wiggins as he spoke.
Wiggins, who had been in a somewhat dispirited state, spoke incredulously: "You're really letting me go!"
Escorted to the edge of the Limpopo River by two East African soldiers, Wiggins thought the East African Kingdom intended to execute him. For many days, he had been under soft detention in East Africa, with no one to talk to; even the strongest heart cannot endure such torture. Wiggins knew what he had done, and the East African Kingdom would have been justified in executing him a hundred times over.
