You have seen _the circle of the witch-doctors and the unconquerable Zulu -impis rushing to war; you have crowned their kings and 3 shared their counsels, and with your son’s blood you have ~< expiated a statesman’s error and a general’s fault. ~< Sompseu, a song has been sung in my ears of how first — you mastered this people of the Zulu. Is it not true, my 9 father, that for long hours you sat silent and alone, while “ three thousand warriors shouted for your life? And when they grew weary, did you not stand and say, point- voting towards the ocean: “ Kill me if you wish, men of ‘ Cetywayo, but I tell you that for every drop of my blood ~ahundred avengers shall rise from yonder seal” 45 Then, so it was told me, the regiments turned staring ~. towards the Black Water, as though the day of Ulundi had ~ already come and they saw the white slayers creeping across _ the plains. ~ Thus, Sompseu, your name became great among the — ~ people of the Zulu, as already it was great among many vi DEDICATION another tribe, and their nobles did you homage, and they gave you the Bayéte, the royal salute, declaring by the mouth of their Council that in you dwelt the spirit of Chaka. Many years have gone by since then, and now you are old, my father. Jt is many years even since I was a boy, and followed you when you went up among the Boers and took their country for the Queen. Why did you do this, my father? I will answer, who know the truth. You did it because, had it not been done, the Zulus would have stamped out the Boers. Were not Cetywayo’s impis gathered against the land, and was i not because it became the Queen’s land that at your word he sent them murmuring to their kraals?+ To save blood- shed you annexed the country beyond the Vaal. Perhaps it had been better to leave it, since “ Death chooses for himself,” and after all there was killing—of our own peo- ple, and with the killing, shame. But in those days we did not guess what we should live to see, and of Majuba we thought only as a little hill! Enemies have borne false witness against you on this matter, Sompseu, you who never erred except through over kindness. Yet what does that avail? When you have “gone beyond” it will be forgotten, since the sting of ingratitude passes and lies must wither like the winter veldt. Only your name will not be forgotten; as it was heard in life so it shall be heard in story, and I pray that, however humbly, mine may pass down with it. Chance has taken me by another path, and I must leave the ways of action that I love and bury myself in books, but the old days and friends are in my mind, nor while [ have memory shall L forget them and you. Therefore, though it be for the last time, from far across the seas I speak to you, and lifting my hand I give you your “Sibonga”? and that royal salute, to which, now 1“ T thank my father Sompseu for his message. Iam glad that he has sent it, because the Dutch have tired me out, and I intended to fight them once and once only, and to drive them over the Vaal. Kabana, you see my impis are gathered. It was to fight the Dutch I called them together ; now Isend them back to their homes.’”’—MEssAGE FROM CETYWAYO TO Sir T. SHEPSTONE, APRIL, 1877. * Titles of praise.

Salutation to you, Father ! Bayéte, O Sompseu ! fe ry A Tue writer of this romance has been encouraged to his task by a purpose somewhat beyond that of setting out a wild tale of savage life. When he was yet a lad,—now some seventeen years ago,—fortune took him to South Africa. There he was thrown in with men who, for thirty or forty years, had been intimately acquainted with the Zulu people, with their history, their heroes, and their customs. From these he heard many tales and traditions, some of which, perhaps, are rarely told nowadays, and in time to come may cease to be told altogether. Then the Zulus were still a nation; now that nation has been destroyed, and the chief aim of its white rulers is to root out the warlike spirit for which it was remarkable, and to replace it by a spirit of peaceful progress. The Zulu military organisation, per- haps the most wonderful that the world has seen, is already a thing of the past; it perished at Ulundi. It was Chaka who invented that organisation, building it up from the smallest beginnings. When he appeared at the commence- ment of this century, it was as the ruler of a single small tribe ; when he fell, in the year 1828, beneath the assegais of his brothers, Umhlangana and Dingaan, and of his ser- vant, Mopo or Umbopo, as he is called also, all south-eastern Africa was at his feet, and in his march to power he had slaughtered more than a million human beings. An attempt has been made in these pages to set out the true character of this colossal genius and most evil man,—a Napoleon and a Tiberius in one,—and also that of his brother and suc- cessor, Dingaan, so no more need be said of them here, The x PREFACE author’s aim, moreover, has been to convey, in a narrative form, some idea of the remarkable spirit which animated these kings and their subjects, and to make accessible, in a popular shape, incidents of history which are now, for the most part, only to be found in a few scarce works of refer- ence, rarely consulted, except by students. It will be obvious that such a task has presented diffi- culties, since he who undertakes it. must for a time forget his civilisation, and think with the mind and speak with the voice of a Zulu of the old régime. Al the horrors per- petrated by the Zulu tyrants cannot be published in this polite age of melanite and torpedoes; their details have, therefore, been suppressed. Still much remains, and those who think it wrong that massacre and fighting should be written of,—except by special correspondents,—or that the sufferings of mankind beneath one of the world’s most cruel tyrannies should form the groundwork of romance, . may be invited to leave this book unread. Most, indeed nearly all, of the historical incidents here recorded are substantially true. Thus it is said that Chaka did actually kill his mother, Unandi, for the reason given, and destroy an entire tribe in the Tatiyana cleft, and that he prophesied of the coming of the white man after receiving his death wounds. Of the incident of the Missionary and the furnace of logs, it is impossible to speak so certainly. It came to the writer from the lips of an old traveller in ‘the Zulu’; but he cannot discover any confirmation of it. Still, these kings undoubtedly put their soldiers to many tests of equal severity. Umbopo, or Mopo, as he is named in this tale, actually lived. After he had stabbed Chaka, he rose to great eminence. ‘Then he disappears from the scene, but it is not accurately known whether he also went “the way of the assegai,” or perhaps, as is here suggested, came to live near Stanger under the name of Zweete. The fate of the two lovers at the mouth of the cave is a true Zulu tale, which has been considerably varied to suit the purposes of this romance. The late Mr. Leslie, who died in 1874, tells it in his book “Among the Zulus and Amatongas.” “TI heard a story the other day,” he says, “ which, if the power Meda Le Gre x1 of writing fiction were possessed by me, I might have worked up into a first-class sensational novel.” It is the story that has been woven into the plot of this book. To him also the writer is indebted for the artifice by which Umslopogaas obtained admission to the Swazi stronghold ; it was told to Mr. Leslie by the Zulu who performed the feat and thereby won a wife. Also the writer’s thanks are due to his friends, Mr. F. B. Fynney,' late Zulu border agent, for much information given to him in by gone years by word of mouth, and more recently through his pamphlet “ Zulu- land and the Zulus,” and to Mr. John Bird, formerly treas- urer to the Government of Natal, whose compilation, “The Annals of Natal,” is invaluable to all who would study the early history of that colony and of Zululand. As for the wilder and more romantic incidents of this story, such as the hunting of Umslopogaas and Galazi with the wolves, or rather with the hyznas,—for there are no true wolves in Zululand,—the author can only say that they seem to him of a sort that might well have been mythically con- nected with the names of those heroes. Similar beliefs and traditions are common in the records of primitive peoples. The club “ Watcher of the Fords,” or, to give its Zulu name, U-nothlola-mazibuko, is an historical weapon, chronicled by Bishop Callaway. It was once owned by a certain Undhle- bekazizwa. He was an arbitrary person, for “no matter what was discussed in our village, he would bring it to a conclusion with a stick.” But he made a good end; for when the Zulu soldiers attacked him, he killed no less than twenty of them with the Watcher, and the spears stuck in him “as thick as reeds in a morass.” This man’s strength was so great that he could kill a leopard “like a fly,” with his hands only, much as Umslopogaas slew the traitor in this story. Perhaps it may be allowable to add a few words about the Zulu mysticism, magic, and superstition, to which there is some allusion in this romance. It has been little if at all exaggerated. Thus the writer well.remembers hearing a 1] grieve to state that I must now say the late Mr. F. B. Fynney. xii PREFACE legend how the Guardian Spirit of the Ama-Zulu was seen riding down the storm. Here is what Mr. Fynney says of her in the pamphlet to which reference has been made: “The natives have a spirit which they call Nomkubulwana, or the Inkosazana-ye-Zulu (the Princess of Heaven). She is said to be robed in white, and to take the form of a young maiden, in fact an angel. She is said to appear to some chosen person, to whom she imparts some revelation; but, whatever that revelation may be, it is kept a profound secret from outsiders. J remember that, just before the Zulu war, Nomkubulwana appeared, revealing something or other which had a great effect throughout the land, and I know that the Zulus were quite impressed that some calamity was about to befall them. One of the ominous signs was that fire is said to have descended from heaven, and ignited the grass over the graves of the former kings of Zululand. . . . On another occasion Nomkubulwana appeared to some one in Zululand, the result of that visit being, that the native women buried their young children up to their heads in sand, deserting them for the time being, going away weeping, but returning at nightfall to unearth the little ones again.” For this divine personage there is, therefore, authority, and the same may be said of most of the supernatural mat- ters spoken of in these pages. The exact spiritual position held in the Zulu mind by the Umkulunkulu,—the Old— Old, —the Great — Great, —the Lord of Heaven, —is a more vexed question, and for its proper consideration the reader must be referred to Bishop Callaway’s work, the “Religious System of the Amazulu.” Briefly, Umkulun- kulu’s character seems to vary from the idea of an ancestral spirit, or the spirit of an ancestor, to that of a god. In the case of an able and highly intelligent person like the Mopo of this story, the ideal would probably not be a low one; therefore he is made to speak of Umkulunkulu as the Great Spirit, or God. It only remains to the writer to express his regret that this story is not more varied in its hue. It would have been desirable to introduce some gayer and more happy PREFACE xii incidents. But it has not been possible. It is believed that the picture given of the times is a faithful one, though it may be open to correction in some of its details. At the least, the aged man who tells the tale of his wrongs and vengeance ooaa not be expected to treat his subject in an optimistic or even in a cheerful vein. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

SoME years since—it was during the winter before the Zulu War—a White Man was travelling through Natal. His name does not matter, for he plays no part in this story. With him were two wagons laden with goods, which he was transporting to Pretoria. The weather was cold and there was little or no grass for the oxen, which made the journey difficult; but he had been tempted to it by the high rates of transport that prevailed at this season of the year, which would remunerate him for any probable loss he might, suffer in cattle. So he pushed along on his journey, and all went well until he had passed the little town of Stanger, once the site of Duguza, the kraal of Chaka, the first Zulu king and the uncle of Cetywayo. The night after he left Stanger the air turned bitterly cold, heavy grey clouds filled the sky, and hid the light of the stars. “Now if I were not in Natal, I should say that there was a heavy fall of snow coming,” said the White Man to himself. “I have often seen the sky look like that in Scotland before snow.” ‘Then he reflected that there had been no deep snow in Natal for years, and, having drunk a “tot” of squareface and smoked his pipe, he went to bed beneath the after-tent of his larger wagon. During the night he was awakened by a sense of bitter cold and the low moaning of the oxen that were tied to the trek-tow, every ox in its place. He thrust his head through the curtain of the tent and looked out. The earth was - white with snow, and the air was full of it, swept along by a cutting wind. B 2 WADA LHe aay Now he sprang up, huddling on his clothes and as he did so calling to the Kaffirs who slept beneath the wagons. Presently they awoke from the stupor which already was beginning to overcome them, and crept out, shivering with cold and wrapped from head to foot in blankets. “Quick! you boys,” he said to them in Zulu; “quick! Would you see the cattle die of the snow and wind? Loose the oxen from the trek-tows and drive them in between the wagons; they will give them some shelter.” And lighting a lantern he sprang out into the snow. At last it was done—no easy task, for the numbed hands of the Kaffirs could scarcely loosen the frozen reims. The wagons were outspanned side by side with a space between them, and into this space the mob of thirty-six oxen was driven and there secured by reims tied crosswise from the front and hind wheels of the wagons. Then the White Man crept back to his bed, and the shivering natives, forti- fied with gin, or squareface, as it is called locally, took refuge on the second wagon, drawing a tent-sail over them. For awhile there was silence, save for the moanings of the huddled and restless cattle. “Tf the snow goes on I shall lose my oxen,” he said to himself; “they can never bear this cold.” | Hardly had the words passed his lips when the wagon shook; there was a sound of breaking reims and tram- pling hoofs. Once more he looked out. “Whe@omem@aad ‘“skrecked ”” in a mob. ‘There they were, running away into the night and the snow, seeking to find shelter from the cold.. In a minute they had vanished utterly. There was nothing to be done, except wait for the morning. At last it came, revealing a landscape blind with snow. Such search as could be made told them nothing. The oxen’ had gone, and their spoor was obliterated by the fresh-fallen flakes. The White Man called a council of his Kaffir ser- vants. “What was to be done?” he asked. One said this thing, one that, but all agreed that they must wait to act until the snow melted. “Or till we freeze, you whose mothers were fools!” said ‘INTRODUCTION 3 the White Man, who was in the worst of tempers, for had he not lost four hundred pounds’ worth of oxen ? Then a Zulu spoke, who hitherto had remained silent. He was the driver of the first wagon. ‘“‘My father,” he said to the White Man, “this is my word. The oxen are lost inthe snow. Noman knows whither they have gone, or whether they live or are now but hides and bones. Yet at the kraal yonder,” and he pointed to some huts about two miles away on the hillside, “lives a witch doctor named Zweete. He is old—very old—but he has wisdom, and he can tell you where the oxen are if any man may, my father.” “Stuff!’? answered the White Man. “Still, as the kraal cannot be colder than this wagon, we will go and ask Zweete. Bring a bottle of squareface and some snuff with you for presents.” An hour later he stood in the hut of Zweete. Before him Was a very ancient man, a mere bag of bones, with sightless eyes, and one hand—his left—white and shrivelled. “What do you seek of Zweete, my white father?” asked the old man in a thin voice. ‘You donot believe in me and my wisdom; why should I help you? Yet IJ will do it, though it is against your law, and you do wrong to ask me, —yes, to show you that there is truth in us Zulu doctors, I will help you. My father, I know what you seek. You seek to know where your oxen have run for shelter from the cold! Is it not so?” “Tt is so, Doctor,” answered the White Man. “You have long ears.” “Yes, my white father, I have long ears, though they say that I grow deaf. I have keen eyes also, and yet I cannot see your face. Let me hearken! Let me look!” For awhile he sat silent, rocking himself to and fro, then he spoke: “You have a farm, White Man, down near Pine Town, is it not? Ah! I thought so—and an hour’s ride from your farm lives a Boer with four fingers only on his right hand. There is a kloof on the Boer’s farm where mimosa-trees grow. ‘There, in the kloof, you shall find your BZ é: NADA THE LILY oxen—yes, five days’ journey from here you shall find them all. I say all, my father, except three only—the big black Africander ox, the little red Zulu ox with one horn, and the speckled ox. You shall not find these, for they have died in the snow. Send, and you will find the others. No, no! Task no fee! Ido not work wonders for reward. Why should I? Iam rich.” Now the White Man scoffed. But in the end, so great is the power of superstition, he sent. And here it may be stated that on the eleventh day of his sojourn at the kraal of Zweete, those whom he sent returned with the oxen, except the three only. After that he scoffed no more. Those eleven days he spent in a hut of the old man’s kraal, and every afternoon he came and talked with him, sitting far into the night. On the third day he asked Zweete how it was ‘that his left hand was white and shrivelled, and who were Umslo- pogaas and Nada, of whom he had let fall some words. Then the old man told him the tale that is set out here. Day by day he told some of it till it was finished. It is not all written in these pages, for portions may have been forgotten, or put aside as irrelevant. Neither has it been possible for the writer of it to render the full force of the Zulu idiom nor to convey a picture of the teller. For, in truth, he acted rather than told his story. Was the death of a ere in question, he stabbed with his stick, showing how the blow fell and where; did the story grow sorrowful, he groaned, or even wept. Moreover, he had many voices, one for each of the actors in his tale. This man, ancient and withered, seemed to live again in the far past. It was the past that spoke to his lstener, telling of deeds long forgot- ten, of deeds that are no more known. Yet as he best may, the White Man has set down the substance of the story of Zweete in the spirit in which Zweete told it. And because the history of Nada the Lily and of those with whom her life was intertwined moved him strangely, and in many ways, he has done more, he has printed it that others may judge of it. And now his part is played. Let him who was named Zweete, but who had another name, take up the story. tHe BOY CHAK AL PROPHESTIES y CHAPTER. I, THE BOY CHAKA PROPHESIES. You ask me, my father, to tell you the tale of the youth of Umslopogaas, holder of the iron Chieftainess, the axe Groanmaker, who was named Bulalio the Slaughterer, and of his love for Nada, the most beautiful of Zulu women. It is long; but you are here for many nights, and, if I live to tell it, it shall be told. Strengthen your heart, my father, for I have much to say that is sorrowful, and even now, when I think of Nada the tears creep through the horn that shuts out my old eyes from light. Do you know who I am, my father? You do not know. You think that I am an old, old witch-doctor named Zweete. So men have thought for many years, but that is not my name. Few have known it, for I have kept it locked in my breast, lest, though I live now under the law of the White Man, and the Great Queen is my chieftainess, an assegai still might find this heart did any know my name. Look at this hand, my father—no, not that which is withered with fire; look on this right hand of mine. You see it, though I who am blind cannot. But still, within me I see it as it was once. Ay! I see it red and strong—red with the blood of two kings. Listen, my father; bend your ear to me and listen. I am Mopo—ah! I felt you start; you start as the regiment of the Bees started when Mopo walked before their ranks, and from the assegai in his hand the. blood of Chaka? dropped slowly to the earth. Iam Mopo who slew Chaka the king. I killed him with Dingaan and Umhlangana the princes; but the wound was mine that his life crept out of, and but for me he would never have been slain. I killed him with the princes, but Dingaan, I and one other slew alone. 1 The Zulu Napoleon, one of the greatest geniuses and most wicked men who ever lived. He was killed in the yeas 1828, haying slaughtered more than a million human beings.—Ep. 6 NADA THE ALICE What do you say? “Dingaan died by the Tongola.” Yes, yes, he died, but not there; he died on the Ghost - Mountain; he lies in the breast of the old Stone Witch who sits aloft forever waiting for the world to perish. But I also was on the Ghost Mountain,. In those days my feet still could travel fast, and vengeance would not let me sleep. I travelled by day, and by night I found him. I and an- other, we killed him—ah! ah! Why do I tell you this? What has it to do with the loves of Umslopogaas and Nada the Lily? I will tell you. I stabbed Chaka for the sake of my sister, Baleka, the mother of Umslopogaas, and because he had murdered my wives and children. I and Umslopogaas slew Dingaan for the sake of Nada, who was my daughter. There are great names in the story, my father. Yes, many have heard the names: when the Impis roared them out as they charged in battle, I have felt the mountains shake and seen the waters quiver in their sound. But where are they now? “Silence has them, and the white men write them down in books. I opened the gates of dis- tance for the holders of the names. They passed through and they are gone beyond. I cut the strings that tied them to the world. ‘They fell off. Ha! ha! ‘They fell off! Perhaps they are falling still, perhaps they creep about their desolate kraals in the skins of snakes. J wish I knew the snakes that I might crush them with my heel. Yonder, beneath us, at the burying-place of kings, there is a hole. In that hole lie the bones of Chaka, the king who died for Baleka. Far away in Zululand there is a cleft upon the Ghost Mountain. At the foot of that cleft lie the bones of Dingaan, the king who died for Nada. It was far to fall and he was heavy; those bones of his are broken into little pieces. I went to see them when the vultures — and the jackals had done their work. And then I laughed three times and came here to die. All this is long ago, and I have not died; though I wish to die and follow the road that Nada trod. Perhaps I have lived to tell you this tale, my father, that you may repeat it to the white menif you will. HowoldamI? Nay, Hipe ney) CHAKAL PROPHESIES 7 Ido not know. Very, very old. Had Chaka lived he would have been as old as I.’ None are living whom I knew when Iwasa boy. Iam so old that I must hasten. The grass withers and the winter comes. Yes, while I speak the winter nips my heart. Well, I am ready to sleep in the cold, and perhaps I shall wake again in the spring. Before the Zulus were a people—for I will begin at the beginning—I was born of the Langeni tribe. We were not a large tribe; afterwards, all our able-bodied men num- bered one full regiment in Chaka’s army, perhaps there were between two and three thousand of them, but they were brave. Now they are all dead, and their women and chil- dren with them,—that people is no more. It is gone hke last month’s moon; how it went I will tell you by-and-bye. Our tribe lived in a beautiful open. country; the Boers, whom we called the Amaboona, are there now, they tell me. My father, Makedama, was chief of the tribe, and his kraal was built on the crest of a hill, but I was not the son of his head wife. One evening, when I was still little, standing as high as a man’s elbow only, I went out with my mother below the cattle kraal to see the cows drivenin. My mother was very fond of these cows, and there was one with a white face that would follow her about. She carried my little sister Baleka riding on her hip; Baleka was a baby then. We walked till we met the lads driving in the cows. My mother called the white-faced cow and gave it mealie leaves which she had brought with her. Then the boys went on with the cattle, but the white-faced cow stopped by my mother. She said that she would bring it to the kraal when she came home. My mother sat down on the erass and nursed her baby, while I played round her, and the cow grazed. Presently we saw a woman walking towards us across the plain. She walked hke one who is tired. On her back was a bundle of mats, and she led by the hand a boy of about my own age, but bigger and stronger than I was. 1 This would have made him nearly a hundred years old, an age rarely attained by a native. The writer remembers talking to an aged Zulu woman, however, who told him that she was married when Chaka was king.—ED. rs) NADA THE TARY We waited a long while, till at last the woman came up to us and sank down on the veldt, for she was very weary. We saw by the way her hair was dressed that she was not of our tribe. “Greeting to you!” said the woman. “Good-morrow!” answered my mother. “ What do you seeks?) 7” “Food, and a hut to sleep in,” said the woman. “I have travelled far.” “ How are you named ?—and what is your people?” asked my mother. “My name is Unandi: I am the wife of Senzangacona, of the Zulu tribe,” said the stranger. Now there had been war between our people and the Zulu people, and Senzangacona had killed some of our war- riors and taken many of our cattle. So, when my mother heard the speech of Unandi she sprang up in anger. “You dare to come here and ask me for food and shelter, wife of a dog of a Zulu!” she cried; “begone, or I will eall the girls to whip you out of our country.” The woman, who was very handsome, waited till my mother had finished her angry words; then she looked up and spoke slowly, “There is a cow by you with milk dropping from its udder; will you not even give me and my boy a gourd of milk?” And she took a gourd from her bundle and held it towards us. “T will not,” said my mother. ‘We are thirsty with long travel; will you not, then, give us a.cup of water? We have found none for many hours.” “T will not, wife of adog; go and seek water for yourself.” The woman’s eyes filled with tears, but the boy folded his arms on his breast and scowled. He was a very hand- some boy, with bright black eyes, but when he scowled his eyes were like the sky before a thunderstorm. “‘NMother,” he said, “we are not wanted here any more than we were wanted yonder,” and he nodded towards the country where the Zulu people lived. “Let us be going to Dingiswayo; the Umtetwa people will protect us.” Wife of a dog of a Zulu... begone! Maite ONC AR A PROPAHESTIES 9 “Yes, let us be going, my son,” answered Unandi; “but the path is long, we are weary and shall fall by the way.” I heard, and something pulled at my heart; I was sorry for the woman and the boy, they looked so tired. Then, without saying anything to my mother, I snatched the gourd and ran with it to a little donga that was hard by, for I knew that there was a spring. Presently I came back with the gourd full of water. My mother wanted to catch me, for she was very angry, but I ran past her and gave the gourd to the boy. Then my mother ceased trying to inter- fere, only she beat the woman with her tongue all the while, saying that evil had come to our kraals from her husband, and she felt in her heart that more evil would come upon us from her son. Her Ehlosé' told her so. Ah! my father, her Ehlosé told her true. If the woman Unandi and her child had died that day on the veldt, the gardens of my people would not now be a wilderness, and their bones would not lie in the great gulley that is near U’Cetywayo’s kraal. While my mother talked I and the cow with the white face stood still and watched, and the baby Baleka cried aloud. The boy, Unandi’s son, having taken the gourd, did not offer the water to his mother. He drank two-thirds of it himself; I think that he would have drunk it all had not his thirst been slaked; but when he had done he gave what was left to his mother, and she finished it. Then he took the gourd again, and came forward, holding it in one hand; in the other he carried a short stick. “What is your name, boy ?” he said to me as a big rich man speaks to one who is little and poor. “‘Mopo is my name,” I answered. «“ And what is the name of your people ?” T told him the name of my tribe, the Langeni tribe. “Very well, Mopo; now Iwill tell you my name. My name is Chaka, son of Senzangacona, and my people are ealled the Amazulu. And I will tell you. something more. I am little to-day, and my people are a small people. But I shall grow big, so big that my head will be lost in 1 Guardian spirit.—Ep, 10 NADA THEFTS the clouds; you will look up and you shall not see it. My face will blind you; it will be bright like the sun; and my people will grow great with me; they shall eat up the whole world. And when I am big and my people are big, and we have stamped the earth flat as far as men can travel, then IL will remember your tribe—the tribe of the Langeni, who would not give me and my mother a cup of milk when we were weary. You see this gourd; for every drop it can hold the blood of a man shall flow—the blood of one of your men. But because you gave me the water I will spare you, Mopo, and you only, and make you great under me. You shall grow fat in my shadow. You alone I will never harm, however you sin against me; this I swear. But for that woman,” and he pointed to my mother, “let her make haste and die, so that I do not need to teach her what a long time death can take to come. I have spoken.” And he ground his teeth and shook his stick towards us. My mother stood silent awhile. Then she gasped out: “The little liar! He speaks like a man, does he? The calf lows like a bull. I will teach him another note—the brat of an evil prophet!” And putting down Baleka, she ran at the boy. Chaka stood quite still till she was near; then suddenly he lifted the stick in his hand, and hit her so hard on the head that she fell down. After that he laughed, turned, and went away with his mother Unandi. These, my father, were the first words that I heard Chaka speak, and they were words of prophecy, and they came true. ‘The last words I heard him speak were words of prophecy also, and I think that they will come true. Even now they are coming true. In the one he told how the Zulu people should rise. And say, have they not risen ? In the other he told how they should fall; and they will fall. Do not the white men gather themselves together even now against U’Cetywayo, as vultures gather round a dying ox? The Zulus are not what they were to stand against them. Yes, yes, they will come true, and mine is the song of a people that is doomed. But of these other words I will speak in their place. MOPO IS IN TROUBLE II Iwent to my mother. Presently she raised herself from the ground and sat up with her hands over her face. The blood from the wound the stick had made ran down her hands on to her breast, and I wiped it away with grass. She sat for a long while thus, while the child cried, the cow lowed to be milked, and I wiped up the blood with the grass. At last she took her hands away and spoke to me. “Mopo, my son,” she said, “I have dreamed a dream. I dreamed that I saw the boy Chaka who struck me: he was grown like a giant. He stalked across the mountains and the veldt, his eyes blazed like the lightning, and in his hand he shook a little assegai that was red with blood. He caught up people after people in his hands and tore them, he stamped their kraals flat with his feet. Before him was the green of summer, behind him the land was black as when the fires have eaten the grass. I saw our people, Mopo: they were many and fat, their hearts laughed, the men were brave, the girls were fair; I counted their children by hundreds. I saw them again, Mopo. They were bones, white bones, thousands of bones tumbled to- gether in a rocky place, and he, Chaka, stood over the bones and laughed till the earth shook. Then, Mopo, in my dream, Isaw you grown aman. You alone were left of our people. You crept up behind the giant Chaka, and with you came others, great men of a royal look. You stabbed him with a little spear, and he fell down and grew small again; he fell down and cursed you. But you cried in his ear a name —the name of Baleka, your sister—and he died. Let us go home, Mopo, let us go home; the darkness falls.” So we rose and went home. But I held my peace, for I was afraid, very much afraid. CHAPTER: TI. MOPO IS IN TROUBLE. Now, I must tell how my mother did what the boy Chaka had told her, and died quickly. For where his stick ~ had struck her on the forehead there came a sore that would 12 NADA THEALILCY not be healed, and in the sore grew an abscess, and the. abscess ate inwards till it came to the brain. Then my mother fell down and died, and I cried very much, for I loved her, and it was dreadful to see her cold and stiff, with not a word to say however loudly I called to her. Well, they buried my mother, and she was soon forgotten. I only remembered her, nobody else did—not even Baleka, for she was too little—and as for my father he took another young wife, and was content. After that I was unhappy, for my brothers did not love me, because I was much cleverer than they, and had greater skill with the assegai, and was swifter in running; so they poisoned the mind of my father against me and he treated me badly. But Baleka and I loved each other, for we were both lonely, and she clung to me like a creeper to the only tree in a plain, and though I was young, I learned this: that to be wise is to be strong, for though he who holds the assegai kills, yet he whose mind directs the battle is greater than he who kills. Now I saw that the witch-finders and the medicine- men were feared in the land, and that everybody looked up to them, so that, even when they had only a stick in their hands, ten men armed with spears would fly before them. Therefore I determined that I would be a witch-doctor, for they alone can kill those whom they hate with a word. So I learned the arts of the medicine-men. J made sacrifices, I fasted in the veldt alone, I did all those things of which you have heard, and I learned much; for there is wisdom in our magic as well as lies—and you know it, my father, else you had not come here to ask me about your lost oxen. So things went on till I was twenty years of age—a man full grown. By now I had mastered all I could learn by myself, so I joined myself on to the chief medicine-man of our tribe, who was named Noma. He was old, had one eye only, and was very clever. Of him I learned some tricks and more wisdom, but at last he grew jealous of me and set a trap to catch me. As it chanced, a rich man of a neighbour- ing tribe had lost some cattle, and came with gifts to Noma praying him to smell them out. Noma tried and could not find them; his vision failed him. Then the-headman grew MOPO LS (NM TROUBLE 13 angry and demanded back his gifts; but Noma would not give up that which he once had held, and hot words passed. The headman said that he would kill Noma; Noma said that he would bewitch the headman. “Peace,” I said, for I feared that blood would be shed. “Peace, and let me see if my snake will tell me where the cattle are.” | “You are nothing but a boy,” answered the headman. “Can a boy have wisdom ? ” “That shall soon be known,” I said, taking the bones in my hand.! “Leave the bones alone!” screamed Noma. “We will ask nothing more of our snakes for the good of this son of a dog.” : “He shall throw the bones,” answered the headman. “If you try to stop him I will let sunshine through you with my assegai.” And he lifted his spear. Then I made haste to begin; I threw the bones. The headman sat on the ground before me and answered my questions. You know of these matters, my father—how sometimes the witch-doctor has knowledge of where the lost things are, for our ears are long, and sometimes his Ehlosé tells him, as but the other day it told me of your oxen. Well, in this case, my snake stood up. I knew nothing of the man’s cattle, but my Spirit was with me and soon I saw them all, and told them to him one by one, their colour, their age—everything. I told him, too, where they were, and how one of them had fallen into a stream and lay there on its back drowned, with its forefoot caught in a forked root. As my Hhlosé told me so I told the headman. Now, the man was pleased, and said that if my sight was good, and he found the cattle, the gifts should be taken from Noma and given to me; and he asked the people who were sitting round, and there were many, if this was not just. “Yes, yes,” they said, it was just, and they would see that it was done. But Noma sat still and looked at me evilly. He knew that I had made a true divination, 1The Kafir witch-doctors use the knuckle bones of animals in their magic rites, throwing them something as we throw dice.—Ep. =a ef 14 NADA THE LILY and he was very angry. It was a big matter: the herd of cattle were many, and, if they were found where I had said, then all men would think me the greater wizard. Now it was late, and the moon had not yet risen, therefore the headman said that he would sleep that night in our kraal, and at the first light would go with me to the spot where I said the cattle were. After that he went away. I too went into my hut and lay down to sleep. Suddenly T awoke, feeling a weight upon my breast. I tried to start up, but something cold pricked my throat. I fell back again and looked. The door of the hut was open, the moon lay low on the sky like a ball of fire far away. I could see it through the door, and its light crept into the hut. It fell upon the face of Noma the witch-doctor. He was seated across me, glaring at me with his one eye, and in his hand was a knife. It was that which I had felt prick my throat. “You whelp whom I have bred up to tear me!” he hissed into my ear, “ you dared to divine where I failed, did you? Very well, now I will show you how I serve such puppies. First, I will pierce through the roots of your tongue, so that you cannot squeal, then I will cut you to pieces slowly, bit by bit, and in the morning I will tell the people that the spirits did it because you lied. Next, I will take off your arms and legs. Yes, yes, I will make you like a stick! Then I will’””——— And he began driving in the knife under my chin. “Mercy, my uncle,” I said, for I was frightened and the knife hurt. “Have mercy, and I will do whatever you wish!” “ Will you do this ?” he asked, still pricking me with the knife. “Will you get up, go to find the dog’s cattle and drive them to a certain place, and hide them there?” And he named a secret valley that was known to very few. “If you do that, I will spare you and give you three of the cows. If you refuse or play me false, then, by my father’s spirit, JI will find a way to kill you!” “Certainly I will do it, my uncle,” I answered. “Why did you not trust me before? Had I known that you wanted to keep the cattle, I would never have smelt them MOPO"IS IN TROUBLE I vat out. I only did so fearing lest you should lose the presents.” “You are not so wicked as I thought,” he growled. “Get up, then, and do my bidding. You can be back here two hours after dawn.” So I got up, thinking all the while whether I should try to spring on him. But I was without arms, and he had the knife; also if, by chance, I prevailed and killed him, it would have been thought that I had murdered him, and I should have tasted the assegai. So I made another plan. I would go and find the cattle in the valley where I had smelt them out, but I would not bring them to the secret hiding-place. No; I would drive them straight to the kraal, and denounce Noma before the chief, my father, and all the people. But I was young in those days, and did not know the heart of Noma. He had not been a witch- doctor till he grew old for nothing. Oh! he was evil!—he was cunning as a jackal, and fierce like a lion. He had planted me by him lke a tree, but he meant to keep me clipped like a bush. Now I had grown tall and over- shadowed him; therefore he would root me up. I went to the corner of my hut, Noma watching me all the while, and took a kerrie and my small shield. Then I started through the moonlight. Tull I was past the kraal I glided along quietly as a shadow. After that, I began to run, Singing to myself as I went, to frighten away the ghosts, my father. For an hour I travelled swiftly over the plain, till I came to the hillside where the bush began. Here it was very dark under the shade of the trees, and I sang louder than ever. At last I found the little buffalo path I sought, and turned along it. Presently I came to an open place, where the moonlight crept in between the trees. I knelt down and looked. Yes! my snake had not lied to me; there was the spoor of the cattle. Then I went on gladly till I reached a dell through which the water ran softly, some- times whispering and sometimes talking out loud. Here the trail of the cattle was broad: they had broken down ~the ferns with their feet and trampled the grass. Pres- 16 NADA THE LILY ently I came to a pool. I knew it—it was the pool my snake had shown to me. And there at the edge of the pool floated the drowned ox, its foot caught in a forked root. All was just as I had seen it in my heart. I stepped forward and looked round. My eye caught something; it was the faint grey ight of the dawn glint- ing on the cattle’s horns. As I looked, one of them snorted, rose and shook the dew from his hide. He seemed big as an elephant in the mist and twilight. Then I collected them all—there were seventeen—and drove them before me down the narrow path back towards the kraal. Now the daylight came quickly, and the sun had been up an hour when I reached the spot where I must turn if I wished to hide the cattle in the secret place, as Noma had bid me. But I would not do this. No, I would go on to the kraal with them, and tell all men that Noma was athief. Still, Isat down and rested awhile, for I was tired. As I sat, I heard a noise, and looked up. There, over the slope of the rise, came a crowd of men, and leading them was Noma, and by his side the headman who owned the cattle. I rose and stood still, wondering; but as I stood, they ran towards me shouting and waving sticks and spears. “There he is!” screamed Noma. “There he is !—the clever boy whom I have brought up to bring shame on me. What did I tell you? Did I not tell you that he was a thief? Yes—yes! I know your tricks, Mopo, my child! See! he is stealing the cattle! He knew where they were all the time, and now he is taking them away to hide them. They would be useful to buy a wife with, would they not, my clever boy?” And he made a rush at me, with his stick lifted, and after him came the headman, grunting with rage. I understood now, my father. My heart went mad in me, everything began to swim round, a red cloth seemed to lift “itself up and down before my eyes. I have always seen it thus when I was forced to fight. I screamed out one word only, “Liar!” and ran to meet him. On came Noma. He struck at me with his stick, but I caught the blow upon my little shield, and hit back. Wow! I did hit! The skull of Noma met my kerrie, and down he fell dead at my MOPO VENTURES HOME 17 feet. I yelled again, and rushed on at the headman. He threw an assegai, but it missed me, and next second I hit him too. He got up his shield, but I knocked it down upon his head, and over he rolled: senseless. Whether he lived or died I do not know, my father; but his head being of the thickest, I think it likely that he lived. Then, while the people stood astonished, I turned and fled like the wind. They turned too, and ran after me, throwing spears at me and trying to cut me off. But none of them could catch me—no, not one. I went like the wind; I went like a buck when the dogs wake it from sleep; and presently the sound of their chase grew fainter and fainter, till at last I was out of sight and alone. CHAPTER “Ii. MOPO VENTURES HOME. I rurew myself down on the grass and panted till my breath came back; then I went and hid in a patch of reeds down by a swamp. All day long I lay there think- ing. What was I to do? Now I was a jackal without a hole. If I went back to my people, certainly they would kill me, whom they thought a thief. My blood would be given for Noma’s, and that I did not wish, though my heart was sad. Then there came into my mind the thought of Chaka, the boy to whom I had given the cup of water long ago. I had heard of him: his name was known in the land; already the air was big with it; the very trees and grass spoke it. The words he had said and the vision that my mother had seen were beginning to come true. By the help of the Umtetwas he had taken the place of his father Sen- zangacona; he had driven out the tribe of the Amaquabe ; now he made war on Zweete, chief of the Endwande, and he had sworn that he would stamp the Endwande flat, so that nobody could find them any more. . Now I remembered how this Chaka promised that he would make me great, and ‘that I should grow fat in his shadow; and I thought to C 18 NADA THE LILY myself that I would arise and go to him. Perhaps he would kill me; well, what did it matter? Certainly I should be killed if I stayed here. Yes, I would go. But now my heart pulled another way. There was but one whom I loved in the world—it was my sister Baleka. My father had betrothed her to the chief of a neighbouring tribe, but I knew that this marriage was against her wish. Perhaps my sister would run away with me if I could get near her to tell her that I was going. I would try—yes, I would try. I waited till the darkness came down, then I rose from my bed of weeds and crept like a jackal towards the kraal. In the mealie gardens I stopped awhile, for I was very hungry, and filled myself with the half-ripe mealies. Then I went on till I came to the kraal. Some of my people were seated outside of a hut, talking together over a fire. I crept near, silently as a snake, and hid behind a little bush. I knew that they could not see me outside the ring of the firelight, and I wanted to hear what they said. As I guessed, they were talking of me and called me many names. They said that I should bring ill-luck on the tribe by having killed so great a witch-doctor as Noma; also that the people of the headman would demand payment for the assault on him. I learned, moreover, that my. father had ordered out all the men of the tribe to hunt for me on the morrow and to kill me wherever they found me. “Ah!” I thought, “you may hunt, but you will bring nothing home to the pot.” Just then a dog that was lying by the fire got up and began to sniff the air. I could not see what dog it was—indeed, I had forgotten all about the dogs when I drew near the kraal; that is what comes of want of experience, my father. The dog sniffed and sniffed, then he began to growl, looking always my way, and I grew afraid. “What is the dog growling at?” said one man to another. “Go and see.” But the other man.was taking snuff and did not like to move. “Let the dog go and see for himself,” he answered, sneezing, “what is the good of keeping a dog © if you have to catch the thief?” * MOPO VENTURES HOME 19 “Go on, then,” said the first man to the dog. And he ran forward, barking. Then I saw him: it was my own dog, Koos, a very good dog. Presently, as I lay not knowing what to do, he smelt my smell, stopped barking, and run- ning round the bush he found me and began to lick my face. . Be quiet, Koos!’ I whispered to him. And he lay down by my side. “Where has that dog gone now?” said the first man. “Is he bewitched, that he stops barking suddenly and does nob. come back-?.?’ . “We will see,” said the other, rising, a spear in his hand. Now once more I was terribly afraid, for I thought that they would catch me, or I must run for my life again. But as I sprang up to run, a big black snake glided between the men and went off towards the huts. They jumped aside in a great fright, then all of them turned to follow the snake, saying that this was what the dog was barking at. That was my good Ehlosé, my father, which without any doubt took the shape of a snake to save my life. When they had gone I crept off the other way, and Koos followed me. At first I thought that I would kill him, lest he should betray me; but when I ealled him to me to knock him on the head with my kerrie, he sat down upon the ground wagging his tail, and seemed to smile in my face, and I could not do it. So I thought that I would take my chance, and we went on together. This was my purpose: first to creep into my own hut and get my assegais and a skin blanket, then to gain speech with Baleka. My shatys 1 thought, would be empty, for nobody slept there except myself, and the huts of Noma were some paces away to the right. I came to the reed fence that surrounded the huts. Nobody was to be seen at the gate, which was not shut with thorns as usual. It was my duty to close it, and I had not been there todo so. Then, bidding the dog lie down outside, I stepped through boldly, reached the door of my hut, and listened. It was empty; there was not even a breath to be heard. So I crept in and began to search for my assegais, my water-gourd, and my wood pillow, which was so nicely ~ carved that I did not like to leave it. Soon I found them, og 20 NADA THE LILY Then I felt about for my skin rug, and as I did so my hand touched something cold. I started, and felt again. It was a man’s face—the face of a dead man, of Noma, whom I had killed and who had been laid in my hut to await burial. Oh! then I was frightened, for Noma dead and in the dark was worse than Noma alive. I made ready to fly, when suddenly I heard the voices of women talking outside the door of the hut. I knew the voices; they were those of Noma’s two wives, and one of them said that she was com- ing in to watch by her husband’s body. Now I was in a trap indeed, for before I could do anything I saw the light go out of the hole in the hut, and knew by the sound of a fat woman puffing as she bent herself up that Noma’s first wife was coming through it. Presently she was in, and, squatting herself by the side of the corpse in such a fashion that I could not get to the door, she began to make lamenta- tions and to call down curses on me. Ah! she did not know that I was listening. I too squatted by Noma’s head, and grew quick-witted in my fear. Now that the woman was there I was not so much afraid of the dead man, and I remembered, too, that he had been a great cheat; so I thought I would make him cheat for the last time. I placed my hands beneath his shoulders and pushed him up so that he sat upon the ground. The woman heard the noise, and made a sound in her throat. “Will you not be quiet, you old hag?” I said in Noma’s voice. ‘Can you not let me be at peace, even now when I am dead ?” She heard, and, falling backwards in fear, drew in her breath to shriek aloud. “What! will you also dare to shriek?” I said again in Noma’s voice; “then I must teach you silence.” And I tumbled him over on to the top of her. Then her senses left her, and whether she ever found them again I do not know. At least she grew quiet for that time. For me, I snatched up the rug—afterwards I found it was Noma’s best kaross, made by Basutos of chosen cat-skins, and worth three oxen—and I fled, followed by Koos. Now the kraal of the chief, my father, Makedama, was =—_—s~ . ~~ — ~ — MOPO VENTURES HOME 2I —- © two hundred paces away, and I must go thither, for there Baleka slept. Also I dared not enter by the gate, because a man was always on guard there. So I cut my way through the reed fence with my assegai and crept to the hut where Baleka was with some of her half-sisters. J knew on which side of the hut it was her custom to lie, and where her head would be. So I lay down on my side and gently, very gently, began to bore a hole in the grass cover- ing of the hut. It took a long while, for the thatch was thick, but at last I was nearly through it. Then I stopped, for it came into my mind that Baleka might have changed her place and that I might wake the wrong girl. I almost gave it over, thinking that I would fly alone, when sud- denly I heard a girl wake and begin to cry on the other side of the thatch. “Ah,” I thought, “that is Baleka, who weeps for her brother!” So I put my lips where the thatch was thinnest and whispered: — “Baleka, my sister! Baleka, do not weep! I, Mopo, am here. Say not a word, but rise. Come out of the hut, bringing your skin blanket.” Now Baleka was very clever: she did not shriek, as most girls would have done. No; she understood, and, after waiting awhile, she rose and crept from the hut, her blanket in her hand. | ‘Why are you here, Mopo?” she whispered, as we met. “Surely you will be killed!” “Hush!” I said. And then I told her of the plan which I had made. “ Will you come with me?” I said, when I had done, “or will you creep back into the hut and bid me fare- well?” 7 She thought awhile, then she said, “No, my brother, I will come, for I love you alone among our people, though I believe that this will be the end of it—that you will lead me to my death.” I did not think much of her words at the time, but after- wards they came back to me. So we slipped away together, followed by the dog Koos, and soon we were running over the veldt with our faces set towards the country of the Zulu 1) alla = NADA THE LILY t “kD CHAPTER IV. THE FLIGHT OF MOPO AND BALEKA. Aut the rest of that night we journeyed, till even the dog was tired. Then we hid in a mealie field for the day, as we were afraid of being seen. Towards the afternoon we heard voices, and, looking through the stems of the mealies, we saw a party of my father’s men pass searching for us. They went on to a neighbouring kraal to ask if we had been seen, and after that we saw them no more for awhile. At night we travelled again; but, as fate would have it, we were met by an old woman, who looked oddly at us but said nothing. After that we pushed on day and night, for we knew that the old woman would tell the pursuers if she met them; and so indeed it came about. On the third evening we reached. some mealie gardens, and saw that they had been trampled down. Among the broken mealies we found the body of a very old man, as full of assegai wounds as a por- cupine with quills. We wondered at this, and went on a little way. ‘Then we saw that the kraal to which the gar- dens belonged was burnt down. We crept up to it, and— ah! it was a sad sight for us to see! Afterwards we became used to such sights. All about lay the bodies of dead people, scores of them—old men, young men, women, children, little babies at the breast—there they lay among the burnt huts, pierced with assegal wounds. Red was the earth with their blood, and red they looked in the red light of the setting sun. It was as though all the land had been smeared with the bloody hand of the Great Spirit, of the Umkulunkulu. Baleka saw it and began to cry: she was weary, poor girl, and we had found little to eat, only grass and green corn. ‘An enemy has been here,” I said, and as I spoke I thought that I heard a groan from the other side of a broken reed hedge. JI went and looked. There lay a young woman: she was badly wounded, but still alive, my Cael liGHl On MOPOSAND BALEKA eee! father. A little way from her lay a man dead, and before him several other men of another tribe: he had died fight- ing. In front of the woman were the bodies of three chil- dren; another, a little one, lay on her body. I looked at the woman, and, as I looked, she groaned again, opened her eyes and saw me, and that I had a spear in my hand. “Kill me quickly!” she said. “ Have you not tortured me enough ? ” I said that I was a stranger and did not want to kill her. “Then bring me water;” she said; “there is a spring there behind the kraal.” I called to Baleka to come to the woman, and went with my gourd to the spring. There were bodies in it, but I dragged them out, and when the water had cleared a little I filled the gourd and brought it to the woman. She drank deep, and her strength came back a httle—the water gave her life. “How did you come to this ?” I asked. “Tt was an impi of Chaka, Chief of the Zulus, that ate us up,” she answered. “They burst upon us at dawn this morning while we were asleep in our huts. Yes, I woke up to hear the sound of killing. I was sleeping by my hus- band, with him who lies there, and the children. We all ran out. My husband hada spear and shield. He was a brave man. See! he died bravely: he killed three of the Zulu devils before he himself was dead. Then they caught me, and killed my children, and stabbed me till they thought that I was dead. Afterwards, they went away. I don’t know why they came, but I think it was because our chief would not send men to help Chaka against Zweete.” She stopped, gave a great cry, and died. My sister wept at the sight, and I too was stirred by fee An’ thought’ to myself, “the Great: Spirit must be evil. If he is not evil such things would not happen.” ‘That is how I thought then, my father; now I think differently. I know that we had not found out the path of the Great Spirit, that is all.. I was a chicken in _those days, my father; afterwards I got used to such sights, They did not stir me any more, not one whit. But 24 IVAD A TTLE Nal Lok ; then in the days of Chaka the rivers ran blood—yes, we had to look at the water to see if:it was clean before we drank. People learned how to die then and not make a noise about it. What does it matter? ‘They would have been dead now anyway. It does not matter; nothing ‘matters, except being born. That is a mistake, my father. We stopped at the kraal that night, but we could not sleep, for we heard the IJtongo, the ghosts of the dead people, moving about and calling to each other. It was natural that they should do so; men were looking for their wives, and mothers for their children. But we were afraid that they might be angry with us for being there, so we clung together and trembled in each other’s arms. Koos also trembled, and from time to time he howled loudly. But they did not seem to see us, and towards morning their cries grew fainter. When the first light came we rose and picked our way through the dead down to the plain. Now we had an easy road to follow to Chaka’s kraal, for there was the spoor of the impi and of the cattle which they had stolen, and some- times we came to the body of a warrior who had been killed because his wounds prevented him from marching farther. But now I was doubtful whether it was wise for us to go to Chaka, for after what we had seen I grew afraid lest he should kill us. Still, we had nowhere to turn, so I said that we would walk along till something happened. Now we grew faint with hunger and weariness, and Baleka said that we had better sit down and die, for then there would be no more trouble. So we sat down by a spring. But I did not wish to die yet, though Baleka was right, and it would have been well to do so. As we sat, the dog Koos went to a bush that was near, and presently I heard him spring at some- thing and the sound of struggling. I ran to the bush—he had caught hold of a duiker buck, as big as himself, that was asleep init. Then I drove my spear into the buck and shouted for joy, for here was food. When the buck was dead I skinned him, and we took bits of the flesh, washed them in the water, and ate them, for we had no fire to cook them with. It is not nice to oat uncooked flesh, but we Baleka looked up, and gave a cry of fear. a - . = i Mia = ». ‘ ¥ hi 5 ‘ Z . i a> 3 at .% od ‘ ‘ ‘ ? 5 cs HE FLIGHT OF 3O0PO AND BALEKA 25 were so hungry that we did not mind, and the food refreshed us. When we had eaten what we could, we rose and washed ourselves at the spring; but, as we washed, Baleka looked up and gave a cry of fear. For there, on the crest of the hill, about ten spear-throws away, was a party of six armed men, people of my own. tribe— children of my father Makedama—who still pursued us to take us or kill us. They saw us—they raised a shout, and began to run. We too sprang up and ran—ran like bucks, for fear had touched our feet. Now the land lay thus. Before us the ground was open and sloped down to the banks of the White Umfolozi, which twisted through the plain like a great and shining snake. On the other side the ground rose again, and we did not know what was beyond, but we thought that in this direc- tion lay the kraal of Chaka. We ran for the river—where else were we to run? And after. us came the warriors. They gained on us; they were strong, and they were angry because they had come so far. Run as we would, still they gained. Now we neared the banks of the river; it was full and wide. Above us the waters ran angrily, breaking into. swirls of white where they passed over sunken rocks; below was a rapid, in which none might live; between the two a deep pool, where the water was quiet but the stream strong. “Ah! my brother, what shall we do?” gasped Baleka. “There is this to choose,” I answered; “perish on the spears of our people or try the river.” “Easier to die by water than on iron,” she answered. “Good!” I said. “Now may our snakes look towards us and the spirits of our fathers be with us! At the least we can swim.” And I led her to the head of the pool. We threw away our blankets—everything except an assegai, which I held in my teeth—and we plunged in, wading as far as we could. Now we were up to our breasts; now we had lost the earth and were swimming towards the middle of the river, the dog Koos leading the way. Then it was that the soldiers appeared upon the bank. «Ah! little people,” one cried, “you swim, do you? Well, you will drown; and if you do not drown we know a ford, 26 WADA Ai Lf. ELE and we will catch you and kill you—yes! if we must run over the edge of the world after you we will catch you.” And he hurled an assegai after us, which fell between us like a flash of heht. While he spoke we swam hard, and now we were in the current. It swept us downwards, but still we made way, for we could swim well. It was just this: if we could reach the bank before we were swept into the rapids we were safe; if not, then—good-night! Now we were near the other side, but, alas ! we were also near the lip of the foaming water. We strained, we struggled. Baleka was a brave girl, and she swam bravely ; but the water pushed her down be- low me, and I could do nothing to help her. I got my foot upon the rock and looked round. There she was, and eight paces from her the broken water boiled. I could not go back. I was too weak, and it seemed that she must’ perish. But the dog Koos saw. He swam to her, barking, then turned round, heading for the shore. She grasped him by the tail with her right hand. Then he put out his strength— he was very strong. She too struck out with her feet and left hand, and slowly—very slowly—drew near. Then I stretched out the handle of my assegai towards her. She caught it with her’ left hand. Already her feet were over the brink of the rapids, but I pulled and Koos pulled, and we brought her safe into the shallows, and from the shallows to the bank, and there she fell gasping. Now when the soldiers on the other bank saw that we had crossed, they shouted threats at us, then ran away down the bank. “Arise, Baleka!” I said: “they have gone to seek a ford.” “Ah, let me die!” she answered. But I forced her to rise, and after awhile she got her breath again, and we walked on as fast as we could up the long rise. For two hours we walked, or more, till at last we came to the crest of the rise, and there, far away, we saw a large kraal. “Keep heart,” I said, “See, there is the kraal of Chaka,” ere diate OM 1070, AND BALEKA 27 «Yes, brother,” she answered, “ but what waits us there ? Death is behind us and before us—we are in the middle of death.” Presently we came to a path that ran to the kraal from the ford of the Umfelozi. It was by it that the Impi had travelled. We followed the path till at last we were but half an hour’s journey from the kraal. Then we looked back, and lo! there behind us were the pursuers—tive og them—one had been drowned in crossing the river. Again we ran, but now we were hie and they gained upon us. Then once more I thought of the dog. He was fierce and would tear any one on whom I set him. I called him and told him what to do, though I knew that it would be his death. He understood, and flew towards the sol- diers growling, his hair standing up on his spine. They tried to kill him with spears and kerries, but he jumped round them, biting at them, and kept them back. At last a man hit him, and he sprang up and seized the man by the throat. There he clung, man and dog rolling over and over together, till the end of it was that they both died. Ah! he wasa dog! We do not see such dogs nowadays. His father was a Boer hound, the first that came into the country. That dog once killed a leopard all by himself. Well, this was the end of Koos! Meanwhile, we had been running. Now we were but three hundred paces from the gate of the kraal, and there was something going on inside it; that we could see from the noise and dust. The four soldiers, leaving the dead dog and the dying man, came after us swiftly. I saw that ' they must catch us before we reached the gate, for now Baleka could go but slowly. Then a thought came into my head. I had brought her here, I would save her life if I could. Should she reach the kraal without me, Chaka would not kill a girl who was so young and fair. “Run on, Baleka! run on!” I said, dropping behind. Now she was almost blind with weariness and terror, and, not seeing my purpose, staggered towards the gate of the kraal. But Isat down on ene veldt to get my breath again, _for I was about to fight four men till I was killed, My 28 WADA (lil WA tas heart beat and the blood drummed in my ears, but when they drew near and I rose—the assegai in my hand—once more the red cloth seemed to go up and down before my eyes, and all fear left me. The men were running, two and two, with the length of a spear-throw between them. But of the first pair one was five or six paces in front of the other. This man shouted out loud and charged me, shield and spear up. Now I had no shield—nothing but the assegai; but I was crafty and he was overbold. On he came. I stood waiting for him till he drew back the spear to stab me. Then suddenly I dropped to my knees and thrust upward with all my strength beneath the rim of his shield; and he also thrust, but over me, his spear only cutting the flesh of my shoulder—see! here is its scar; yes, to this day. And my assegai? Ah! it went home; it ran through and through his middle. He rolled over and over on the plain. ‘The dust hid him; only I was now weaponless, for the haft of my spear—it was but a light throwing assegai—broke in two, leaving noth- ing but a little bit of stick in my hand. And the other one was on me! He looked tall as a tree above me. I was already dead; there was no hope; darkness opened to swallow me. ‘Then in the darkness I saw a light. I fell on tomy hands and knees and flung myself over sideways. My body struck the legs of the man who was about to stab me, lifting his feet from beneath him. Down he came heavily. Before he had touched the ground I was off it. His spear had fallen from his hand. I stooped, seized it, and as he rose I stabbed him through the back. It was all done in the shake of a leaf, my father; in the shake of a leaf he also was dead. Then I ran, for I had no stomach for the other two; my valour was gone. About a hundred paces from me Baleka was staggering along with her arms out like one who has drunk too much beer. By the time I caught her she was some forty paces from the gate of the kraal. But then her strength left her altogether. Yes! there she fell senseless, and I stood by her. And there, too, I should have been killed had not this chanced, since the other two men, having stayed one THE FLIGHT OF MOPO AND BALEKA 29 instant by their dead fellows, came on against me mad with rage. For at that moment the gate of the kraal opened, and through it ran a party of soldiers dragging a prisoner by the arms. After them walked a great man, who wore a leopard skin on his shoulders, and was laughing, and with him were five or six ringed councillors, and after them again came a company of warriors. The soldiers saw that killing was going on, and ran up just as the slayers reached us. “ Who are you?” they cried, “who dare to kill at the gate of the Elephant’s kraal? Here the Elephant kills alone.” | “We are of the children of Makedama,” they answered, “and we follow these evildoers who have done wickedness and murder in our kraal. See! but now two of us are dead at their hands, and others he dead along the road. Suffer that we slay them.” “Ask that of the Elephant,” said the soldiers; “ask too that he suffer you should not be slain.” Just then the tall chief saw blood and heard words. He stalked up; and he was a great man to look at, though still quite young in years. For he was taller by a head than any round him, and his chest was big as the chests of two; his face was fierce and beautiful, and when he grew angry his eye flashed like a smitten brand. “Who are these that dare to stir up dust at the gates of my kraal?” he asked, frowning. “OQ Chaka, O Elephant!” answered the captain of the soldiers, bending himself double before him, “the men say that these are evildoers and that they pursue them to kill them.” “Good!” he answered. “Let them slay the evildoers.” “QO great chief! thanks be to thee, great chief!” said those men of my people who sought to kill us. “T hear you,” he answered, then spoke once more to the captain. “And when they have slain the evildoers, let them- selves be blinded and turned loose to seek their way home, because they have dared to lift a spear within the Zulu gates. Now praise on, my children!” And he laughed, while ~ 30 NADA THE LILY the soldiers murmured, “Ou! he is wise, he is great, his justice is bright and terrible like the sun!” | But the two men of my people cried out in fear, for they did not seek such justice as this. “Cut out their tongues also,” said Chaka. ‘What? shall the land of the Zulus suffer such a noise? Never! lest the cattle miscarry. To it, ye black ones! There lies the girl. She is asleep and helpless. Kill her! What? you hesitate! Nay, then, if you will have time for thought, I give it. Take these men, smear them with honey, and pin them over ant-heaps; by to-morrow’s sun they will know their own minds. But first kill these two hunted jackals,” and he pointed to Baleka and myself. “They . seem tired and doubtless they long for sleep.” Then for the first time I spoke, for the soldiers drew near to slay us. : “©O Chaka,” I cried, “I am Mopo, and this is my sister Baleka.” I stopped, and a great shout of laughter went up from all who stood round. “Very well, Mopo and thy sister Baleka,” said Chaka, erimly. “Good-morning to you, Mopo and Baleka—also, good-night !” “OQ Chaka,” I broke in, “I am Mopo, son of Makedama of the Langeni tribe. It was I who gave thee a gourd of water many years ago, when we both were little. Then thou badest me come to thee when thou hadst grown great, vowing that thou wouldst protect me and never do me harm. So I have come, bringing my sister with me; and now, I pray thee, do not eat up the words of long ago.” As I spoke, Chaka’s face changed, and he lstened ear- nestly, as aman who holds his hand behind his ear. “Those are no lies,” he said. ‘Welcome, Mopo! Thou shalt be a dog in my hut, and feed from my hand. But of thy sister T said nothing. Why, then, should she not be slain when IL swore vengeance against all thy tribe, save thee alone ?” _ “Because she is too fair to slay, O Chief!” I answered, boldly; “also because I love her, and ask her hfe as a boon!” THE FLIGHT OF MOPO AND BALEKA 3t “Turn the girl over,” said Chaka. And they did so, show- ing her face. “ Again thou speakest no lie, son of Makedama,” said the chief. “I grant thee the boon. She also shall le in my hut, and be of the number of my ‘sisters.’ Now tell me thy tale, speaking only the truth.” So I sat down and told him all. Nor did he grow weary of listening. But, when I had done, he said but one thing —that he would that the dog Koos had not been killed; since, if he had still been alive, he would have set him on the hut of my father Makedama, and made him chief over the Langeni. Then he spoke to the captain of the soldiers. “TI take back my words,” he said. ‘Let not these men of the Lan- geni be mutilated. One shall die and the other shall go free. Here,” and he pointed to the man whom we had seen led out of the kraal-gate, “here, Mopo, we have a man who has proved himself a coward. Yesterday a kraal of wizards yon- der was eaten up by my order—perhaps you two saw it as you travelled.. This man and three others attacked a sol- dier of that kraal who defended his wife and children. The man fought well—he slew three of my people. Then this dog was afraid to meet him face to face. He killed him with a throwing assegai, and afterwards he stabbed the woman. That is nothing; but he should have fought the husband hand to hand. Now I will do him honour. He shall fight to the death with one of these pigs from thy sty,” and he pointed with his spear to the men of my father’s kraal, “and the one who survives shall be run down as they tried torun you down. I will send back the other pig to the sty with a message. Choose, children of Makedama, which of you will live.” Now the two men of my tribe were brothers, and loved one another, and each of them was willing to die that the other might go free. Therefore, both of them stepped for- ward, saying that they would fight the Zulu. “What, is there honour among pigs?” said Chaka. “Then I will settle it. See this assegai? I throw it into the air; if the blade falls uppermost the tall man shail go 32 NADA THE LILY free; if the shaft falls uppermost, then life is to the short one, so!” And he sent the little spear whirling round and round in the air. Every eye watched it as it wheeled and fell. The haft struck the ground first. | “Come hither, thou,” said Chaka to the tall brother. ‘“Hasten back to the kraal of Makedama, and say to him, Thus says Chaka, the Lion of the Zulu-ka-Malandela ‘Years ago thy tribe refused me milk. To-day the dog of thy son Mopo howls upon the roof of thy hut.?. Begone!” * The man turned, shook his brother by the hand, and went, bearing the words of evil omen. Then Chaka called to the Zulu and the last of those who had followed us to kill us, bidding them fight. So, when they had praised the prince they fought fiercely, and the end of it was that the man of my people conquered the Zulu. But as soon as he had found his breath again he was: set to run for his life, and after him ran five chosen men. Still, it came about that he outran them, doubling like a hare, and got away safely. Nor was Chaka angry at this; for I think that he bade the men who hunted him to make speed slowly. ‘There was only one good thing in the cruel heart of Chaka, that he would always save the life of a brave man if he could do so without making his word nothing, And for my part, I was glad to think that the man of my people had conquered him who murdered the children of the dying woman that we found at the kraal beyond the river. CHAPTERGY, MOPO BECOMES THE KING’S DOCTOR. THesk, then, my father, were the events that ended in the coming of me, Mopo, and of my sister Baleka to the kraal of Chaka, the Lion of the Zulu. Now you may ask why have I kept you so long with this tale, which is as 1 Among the Zulus it is a very bad omen for a dog to climb the roof of a hut. The saying conveyed a threat to be appreciated by every Zulu.—Ep. mere DLOOMES THE KING'S. DOCTOR , 233 are other tales of our people. But that shall be seen, for from these matters, as a tree from a seed, grew the birth of Umslopogaas Bulalio, Umslopogaas the Slaughterer, and Nada the Beautiful, of whose love my story has to tell. For Nada was my daughter, and Umslopogaas, though few knew it, was none other than the son of Chaka, born of my sister Baleka. Now when Baleka recovered from the weariness of our flight, and had her beauty again, Chaka took her to wife, numbering her among his women, whom he named _ his “sisters.” And me Chaka took to be one of. his. doc- tors, of his izinyanga of medicine, and he was so well pleased with my medicine that in the end I became his head doctor. Now this was a great post, in which, during the course of years, I grew fat in cattle and in wives; but also it was one of much danger. For when I rose strong and well in the morning, I could never know but that at night I should sleep stiff and red. Many were the doctors whom -Chaka slew; doctored they never so well, they were killed at last. Fora day would surely come when the king felt ill in his body or heavy in his mind, and then to the assegai or the torment with the wizard who had doctored him! Yet I escaped, because of the power of my medicine, and also because of that oath which Chaka had sworn to me asachild. So it came about that where the king went there I went with him. I slept near his hut, I sat behind him at council, in the battle I was ever at his side. Ah! the battle!—the battle! "In those days we knew how to fight, my father! In those days the vultures would follow our impis by thousands, the hyenas would steal along our path in packs, and none went empty away. Never may I forget the first fight I stood in at the side of Chaka. It was just after the king had built his great kraal on the south bank of the Umhlatuze. Thenit was that the chief Zwide attacked his rival Chaka for the third time and Chaka moved out to meet him with ten full regiments,’ now for the first time armed with the short stabbing- spear. 1 About 30,000 men.—Ed. 34 NADA THE LILY. The ground lay thus: On a long, low hill in front of our impi were massed the regiments of Zwide; there were seventeen of them; the earth was black with their number; their plumes filled the air like snow. We, too, were on a hill, and between us lay a valley down which there ran a little stream. All night our fires shone out across the valley; all night the songs of soldiers echoed down the hills. Then the grey dawning came, the oxen lowed to the light, the regiments arose from their bed of spears; they sprang up and shook the dew from hair and shield— yes! they arose! the glad to die! ‘The impi assumed its array regiment by regiment. ‘There was the breast of spears, there were the horns of spears, they were number- less as the stars, and like the stars they shone. The morning breeze came up and fanned them, their plumes bent in the breeze; like a plain of seeding grass they bent, the plumes of the soldiers ripe for the assegai. Up over the shoulder of the hill came the sun of Slaughter; it glowed red upon the red shields; red grew the place of killing; the white plumes of chiefs were dipped in the blood of heaven. They knew it; they saw the omen of death, and, ah! they laughed in the joy of the waking of battle. What was death? Was it not well to die on the spear? What was death? Was it not well to die for the king? Death was the arms of Victory. Victory should be their bride that night, and oh! her breast is fair. Hark! the war-song, the Ingomo, the music of which has the power to drive men mad, rose far away to the left, and was thrown along from regiment to regiment—a rolling ball of sound— We are the king’s kine, bred to be butchered, You, too, are one of us! We are the Zulu, children of the Lion, What! did you trenble ? Suddenly Chaka was seen stalking through the ranks, followed by his captains, his indunas, and by me. He walked along like a great buck; death was in his eyes, and like a buck he sniffed the air, scenting the air of slaughter. He lifted his assegai, and a silence fell; only the sound of chanting still rolled along the hills. MOPO BECOMES THE KING'S DOCTOR 35 “Where are the children of Zwide?” he shouted, and his voice was like the voice of a bull. “Yonder, father,” answered the regiments. And every spear pointed across the valley. “They do not come,” he shouted again. “Shall we then sit here till we grow old?” “No, father,” they answered. “Begin! begin!” “Let the Umkandhlu regiment come forward!” he shouted a third time, and as he spoke the black shields of the Um- kandhlu leaped from the ranks of the impi. “Go, my children!” cried Chaka. “There is the Se Go and return no more!” “We hear you, father!” they answered with one voice, and moved down the slope like a countless herd of game with horns of steel. Now they crossed the stream, and now Zwide awoke. A murmur went through his companies; lines of light played above his spears. Ou! they are coming! Ou/ they have met! Hearken to the thunder of the shields! Hearken to the song of battle ! To and fro they swing. The Umkandhlu gives way—it flies! They pour back across the stream—half of them; the rest are dead. y e 4 Fy be ; wo : ' F ' , ~ PF ' if i ats eh 9 acu &- seae see is eo ah 6 | RW oe: en j AAA *. “ - v * A a+ i one 16th 9 ¥ i + aTAt “i be icy Ae “49 ae 2 4 y 3 CPt SA ‘* nmyge 4 4 ¢ j i: Y ode Pe cine ZAMS a oar ee - 1. g é ¢ M He : ~, ; fi ; : ¢ ‘ A ‘ . ~~ tad : tj 7 7 ‘a ; b { i? a 4 7 4 A CATALOGUE OF WORKS ener Ab LITERATURE PUBLISHED BY MESSRS.
