one o'clock
This wise program Kingozi entered upon carefully . The three hours ' march went well ; the two hours followed with every one strong and cheerful ; then two hours more without trouble . Kingozi 's men were picked , and hard as nails . By now it was one o'clock ; coming the hottest part of the day . The power of the vertical sun attained its maximum . Kingozi felt as though a heavy hand had been laid upon his head and was pressing him down . The mirage danced and changed , its illusions succeeding one another momently as the successive veils of heat waves shimmered upward .
