and he fed lorwam on his face. This time
I had made no mistake; and 1 say it as a
proof of how little we think of others when
our own pride or reputation is in question
I was bi lit- esiouj'"-to feel uvltehted at the
icht.
The rezimciit who hid seen the feat
cheered wildly at the exhibition of the white
man's magic, which they took as an omen of
success, while the force to which the general
bad belonged which, indeed, as we after
ward ascertained, he had commanded began
to fall back in confusion. Sir Henry and
(iood now took up their rifles and began to
'ire, the latter industriously "browing" the
dense mass before him with a Winchester
repeater, and I aLo had another shot or two
with the result that, so far as we eoulc
judge, we put some eight or ten men tor h
cjinbat before they got out of range.
Just as we i-topped firiiu there came a
ominons roar from "our far right, then
similar roar from our left. The two othei
divisions were engaging us.
At the sound the mass of men be'01 "f
opened out a little, and came on toward the
hill uo Uie roil of bare er-asUnd at a sio

advanced. We kept up a steady tire from
our rifles as they came. Ignosi joining lu oc
casionally, and accounted for several men,
but of course produced no more effect upon
t!i,.t mighty rush of armed hnm inity than h
who throws (nibble does on the advancing
wave.
On they came, with a shout and clashing
of spears; now they were driving in the out
misus we had placed among the rocks at tin
toot of til i lull. A : ter that the advance was
a iuiie slower; l' r although as yet we hac
o.7ei;d no sen. ns opposition, the attacking
foice had to coin.; up hill, and came slow ly
t save tiicir breath. O ir lir-t liins of de
fense was about hr'.lf way up the sMe, out
second liity yards further back, while om
third occupied the edge of the plain.
On they rauie, shouting their war cry
"Twala! Twala! Chicle! Chicle!" (Twala
I Twala! Smite! Smite). "Ignosi! Ignosi
Chielel Chicle!" answered our people
They were quite close now. and the tollas.
or throwiiig-kuivcs began to Hash backward
ami forward, and now with an awful jel
the battle closed in.
To and fro swayed the mass of struggling
warriors, men tailing thick as leaves in ai
autumn wind; but before long the suH-rio
weight of the attacking force began to tell
and our first line of defense was slowlj
presse l back, till it merged into the second.
Here the struggle w.us very fierce, but again
our people were back and up, till at length,
within twenty minutes of the commencement
of the light, our third line came into action.
But by this time the assailants were muer
exhausted, and had besides lost many men
killed and wounded, and to break through
that third imenetrable hedgo of speaif
proved beyond their powers. For awhile th
dense mass of struggling warriors swung
backward and forward in the tierce ebb and
flow of battle, and the issue was doubtful
Sir Henry watched the desperate struggW
with a trembling eve, and then without a
word he rushed off, followed by Good, and
Hung himself into the hottest of the fray. A:
for myself I stopped where I was.
The soldiers caught sight of his tall fonr
as he plunged into the battle, and there rose
a crv of
"Xitziu Tiicubii.r' (Here is the Elephant!)
"Chieli:! Chicle!"
From thai moment the issue was no longei
in doubt. Inch by inch, fighting with des
perate gallantry, the attacking force was
pressed back down the hillside, til! at last it
retreated up ci its reserves in something like
confusion. At tint moment, too. a messen
ger arrived to say that the left attack had
Ix'cii repulsed; and 1 wis just beginning to
congratulate myself that the affair was over
for the present, when, to our horror, we per
ceived our men who had been engaged in :
the right defense being driven toward u.- j
across the plain, followed by swarms of the j
enemy, w ho had evidently succeeded at thb !
point. j
lguo-i, who was standing by me, took ir !
the situation at a glance, and issued a rap'd '
order. Instantly the reserve regiment round
us ( the Grays) extended itself. j
Again Ignosi gave a word of command,
which was ta'ien up and repeated by the cap ,
tains, and in another second, tomyinteii.se
disgust, 1 found invself involved in a furious
onslaught ujxui the advancing foe. Getting
as much as I could behind Ignosi's huge
frame, 1 made the best of a bad job, ami
toddled along to be killed, as though I liked
it In a minute or two the time seemed ai.
too short to me we were plunging through
the flying
roups of our men, who at oncf j

the meeting shields, and the sudden appari
tion of a huge ruffian, whose eyes seeme''
literally t- be starting out of his head, inak

done for, I, as the horrid apparition came.
Hung myself down in front of him so clever
ly, that, being unable to stop himself, Ik
took a header l iht over my prostrate form
Before he could rise, again, I Lad risen and
settled the matter from behind with my re
volver. Shortly after this, somebody knocked nie
down, and 1 remember no more of the
chnvge.
When I came to I found myself back at
the konpie. with Good bending over me
with some water in a gourd.
' How do you feel, old fellow?' he asked,
anxiously.
I got up and shook myself before answer
ing. "Pretty well, thank you," I answered.
"Thank heaven ! when I saw thein carry
you in I ft.lt quite sick. I thought you were
done for."
"Not this time, my hoy. I fancy I only
got a rap on the head which knocked me
out of time. How has it ended?"
"They are repulsed at every point for the
time. The loss is dreadfully heavy; we have
lost quite two thousand killed and wounded,
and they must have lost three. Look, there's
a sight!" and he pointed to long lines of
men advancing by fours, lu the center of,
and being borne by each group of four, was
a kind of hide tray, of which a Kukuaua
force always carried a quantity, with a loop
for a handle at each corner. On these trays
and their number seemed endless lay
wounded men. who as they arrived, were
hastily examined by the medicine men, of
whom ten were attached to each regiment
If the wound was not of a fatal character,
the sufferer was taken away and attended
to as carefully as circumstances would allow.
But if, on the other hand, the wounded
man's condition was hopeless, what followed
was very dreadful, though doubtless it was
the truest mercy. One of the doctors, under
the pretense of carrying out an examination,
swiftly opened an artery with a sharp knife,
and in a minute or two the sufferer expired
painlessly. There were many cases that day
in which this was done. In fact it was done
in most cases when the wound was in the
body, for the gash made by the entry of the
enormously broad spears used by the Kuku
anas generally rendered recovery hopeless.
In mot cases the poor sufferers were al
ready unconscious, and in others the fatal
"nick" of the artery was done so swiftly and
painlessly that they did not seem to notice
it. Still it was a ghastly sight, and one from
which we were glad to escape; indeed, I
never remember one which affected me more
than seeing those gallant soldiers thus put
out of pain by the red-handed medicinemen,
except, indeed, on an occasion, when, after
an attack, I saw a force of Swazis burying
their hopelessly wounded alive.
Hurrying from this dreadful scene to the
further side of the koppie, we found Sir
Henry ( who still held a bloody battle-ax in
his hand), Ignosi, lnfadoos, and one or two
of the chiefs in deep consultation.
"Thank Heaven, here yon are, Quater
main ! I can't quite make out what Ignosi
wants to do. It seems that, though wo have
beaten off the attack, Twala is now receiv
ing large reinforcements, and is showing a
disposition to invest us, with a view of
starving us out."
"That's awkward."
"Yes; especially as lnfadoos says that the
water supply has given out7
"Mr lord that is so." aaid lnfadoos: "th
. iprrog cannot tnppiy mo wants or ao great a
i multitude, and is falling rapidly. Before
night wo shall all bo thirsty. Listen, Maco
mazahn. Thou art wise, and hast doubtless
seen many wars in the landa from whence
thou earnest that Is, if, indeed, they make
ware in the stars. Now tell us, what shall
we do? Twala has brought up many fresh
men to take the place of those who have
fallen. But Twala has leanied a lesson ; the
hawk did not think to find the heron ready;
but our beak has pierced his breast; he will
not strike at us aaiu. We. too. are wound
ed, and he will wait for us to die; he will
wind himself round us like a sn. ike round a
buck, and li'ht the li-ht of 'sit down.' "
-l hear you," 1 said.
"So, M.icumazahn, thou seest we have no
water here, and but a little food, and we
must choose between these three things to
languish like a si:irviii(; lion in his ien, or
to strive to break away toward the north,
or" and here he rose and pointed toward
the dense mass of the foes "to launch our
selves straight at 1 wala's throat, lneubu,
the great warrior for ': day he ioii'4ht like
a buffalo in a net, arid Twala's soldiers went
down before his ox like corn before the hail;
with these eyes 1 saw it. Incitou says
'Charge;, hut the K ephaut (Iii 'iilni) is ever
prone to charge. No v wh it says Maeuma
zahn, the wily i ld lox who has seen much
and loves to bW. bi.s enemy from behind?
The last word is in luo-i the kim;, for it is
a king's right to speak of war; but let us
hear thy voice, too, of him of the transpar
ent eye.''
"What sayest thou, Ignosi?" 1 asked.
"Nay, my father," answered our quon
dam servant, who now, clad as he was in
the full panoply of savage war, looked every
inch a warrior king, "do thou speak, and let
me, who am but a child in wisdom beside
thee, hearken to thy words."
j Thus adjured, I, after taking hasty coun
sel with Good and Sir Henry, delivered my
opinion briefly to the effect that, being
trapped, our best chance, especially in view
of the failure of our water supply, was to
! initiate an attack upon TwaU's forces, and
then I recommended that the attack should
be delivered at once, "before our wounds
, grew stiff," and also before the sight of
j Twala's overpowering force caused the
i hearts of our soldiers "to wax small like fat
! before a lire." Otherwise. I pointed out,
some of the captains might change their
minds, and, making peace with Twala,
desert him, or even betray us into his hands.
! This expression of opinion seemed, on the
, whole, to be tavorahly received; indeed,
: among the Ivukuanus my utterances met
with a respect which has never been accord
ed to them before or since. But the real
i decision as to our course lay with Ignosi,
who, since he had been recognized as right
ful king, could exercise the almost unbound
ed rights of sovereignty, including, of
course, the linal deeisou on matters of gen
eralship, and it was to him that all eyes
were now turned.
At length after a pause, during which ha
appeared to be- thinking dt;ep!y, he spoke;
"incubu, Macumuzahn, and Uoughwan,
brave white men, and my friends; Ini'adoos,
my uncle, and chiefs; my heart is lixed. J
will strike at l want this day. and set my
fortunes on the blow, ay, and my life; my
life and your lives also. Listen: thus will I
strike. Ye see how the hill curves round
like the half-moon, and how the plain runs
like a green toward us within the curve?"
"We see," I answered.
"Good; it is now midday, nnd the men
cat and rest after the toil of battle. When
the sun has turned and traveled a little way
toward the dark, let thy re:iuent, my uncle,
advance with one other down to the green
tongue. And it shall be that when Twala
sees it he shall hurl his force at it to crush
it. Hut the spot is narrow, and the regi
ments can come against thee one at a time
only; so shall they be destroyed one by one,
and the eyes of all Twala's army shall be
fixed upon a struggle the like of which has
not been seen by living man. And with thee
my uncle shall go Incubu my friend, that
when Twala sees his battle-ax flashing in
the lirst rank of the 'Grays' his heart may
grow faint. And 1 will come with the
second regiment, that which follows tiiee, so
that If ye are destroyed, ns it may happen,
there may yet be a king left to light for; and
with me shall come Macumuzahn the wise."
"It is, well, oh, king," said lnfadoos, ap
parently contemplating the certainty of the
Domplete annihilation of his regiment with
Ierfect calmness. Truly these Kukuauas
are a wonderful people. Death has no ter
rors for them when it is incurred in the
course of a duty.
"And whilst the eyes of the multitude of
Twala's regiments are thus fixed upon the
fight," went on Ignosi, "behold, one third
of tlie men who are left alive to us (i. e.,
about six thousand) shall creep along the
right horn of the hill and fall upon the left
flank of Twala's force, and one third shall
creep along the left horn and fall upon
Twala's right flank. And when 1 see that
the horns are ready to toss Twala, then will
I, with the men who are left to me, charge
home in Twala's face, and if fortune goes
with us the day will be ours, and before
Night drives her horses from the mountains
to the mountains we shall sit in peace at
Loo. And now let us eat and make ready;
and, lnfadoos. do thou prepare, that the
plan be carried out; and stay, let my white
father Bougwan go with the right horn, that
his shining eye may give courage to the
men."
The arrangements for attack thus briefly
indicated were thus set in motion with a
rapidity that spoke well for the perfection of
the Kukuana military system. Within little
more than an hour rations had been served
out to the men and devoured, the three divi
sions were formed, the plan of attack ex
plained to the leaders, and the who'e farce,
with the excettion of a guard left v-. li :
wounded, now numbering abu..t eighteen
thousand men in all, was ready to Le put in
motion.
Presently G m I cams up and shook hands
with Sir lleury and ;u;. self.
"Good-oy : you fe lows."' "lam
off with tha right w ing aec r ting to orders;
and so I have come to shake hands in case
we should not meet again, you know," he
added, significantly.
We shook bauds in silence, and not with
out the exhibition of as much emotion as
Englishmen are wont to show.
"It is a queer business," s lid Sir Henry,
his deep voice shaking a little, "and 1 con-
fess 1 never expect to see to-morrow 's sun.
As far as I can makogmit, the Grays, with
whom 1 am to go, are to fight until they are
wiped out in order to enable the wings to
slip round unawares and outflank Twala.
Well, so be it; at any rate, it will be a man's
death! Good-bye, old fellow. God bless
you! 1 hope you will pull through and live
to collar the diamonds; but if you do, take
my advice and don't have anything more to
do with pretenders!"
In another second Good had wrung us both
by the hand and gone; and then lnfadoos
came up and led off Sir Henry to his place
in the forefront of the Grays, whilst, with
many misgivings, I departed with Ignosi to
my station in the second attacking regiment.
