Kodwa siyavuya ukusibona isishichelo se Koloni.—Isishicilelo esisoloko sibaze amehlo—sisalatisa ingca- mango zoluntu ngendawo ebite kutshanje yazikataza kunene intliziyo zamakowetu. I-Cupe Mercury izitabatele inkatazo yokupicota indawo yomfo ontsundu owadutyulwa ngumfana we Bulu e Bur- ghersdorp, ate u-Rulumente ngokoyikiswa luluvo Iwama Bulu akona abengafuni ukuba enziwe luto uwabo lowo wase lesuka lonto eyinikela emantyini ete yona yamkulula ngokundla imali. I-Cane Argus yenjenje elayo ngenye into ekwa- yeyolohlobo:— ' Akutandeki ukusingisa utete ngenani elikulu kunene elibonakele kumapepa alapa e-Koloni kwezinyangana zimbalwa zidlulileyo, apo ate amafama, ngokukodwa akwezi ziqingata zingase mpumalanga, amana ukuba namatyala okudubula abantsundu Ezindawo akukafuti eziti zixoxwe ngokunzulu. Kuti ukuqala ukuvakala kwendaba kutiwe uye wazinikela ngokwake umntu lowo mhlaumbi kukutshwe yimantyi ipepa lokuba abanjwe, izeke lime ityala kuba lilindele ijaji. Emva koko O ! Igqweta lakomkulu alivuma.. nga ukummisela ityala lomotn, kungenjalo ukululwe zi jury, kunqabeke ngoko ukuteta ngomntu ogwetyelweyo oziva emsulwa naye ngokwasemtetweni. Emayivunywe kananjalo indawo yokokuba kukumatuba ambalwa kupela angade umntu ukuzihlanganisela isiqu sake kufuneke edubule, nokudubula adubule umntu ongenampu yena ontsundu.'' KUSAND' ukutetwa kule jaji e-Monti, ityala elidliwe ama £30 ,'eponti) ngalo ifama elo ebelidubule um-Xosa lifun' ukumenzakalisa, kuba imbumbulu ingene etangeni endodeni leyo. Ifama lizilandulele ngokuti, um-Xosi limdubule kuba ebengena pasi; latike nokudubula oko belimoyikisa njekodwa. Umpu lowo ubewungxashe imbumbulu, kodwa isi- tuba besisikulu pakatikwabo—ibe iziyadi ezipakati kwe 1,000 no 1,200. Ngesimilo ifama elo pofu ngumfo onobubele; kodwa ke okokuba ebomoyikisa, ibe iyinina angayikupeli emoyeni imbumbulu leyo? UDLIWO abadliwe ngalo abantsundu e- Bayi ngamagwangqa akona ibe ' lolu- mdaka' kanye.
