A Zulu explained to Callaway that his people forgot those who died long ago they were supposed to be not helpful and hope of gain has always been the basis of worship. Among the Kafirs of the Hindu Kush it is the custom to erect an effigy to the memory of every adult one year after his decease.
Dr. Callaway gives the Zulu practice, where the chief 'sees what will happen by looking into the vessel. The Shamans of Siberia and Eastern Russia employ the same method. The case of the Inca, Yupanqui, is very curious.
A sceptical Zulu, named John, having a shilling to expend on psychical research, smote violently at every guess. The diviner was hopelessly puzzled; John kept his shilling, and laid it out on a much more meritorious exhibition of animated sticks. Uguise gave Dr. Callaway an account of a female possessed person with whom Mrs. Piper could not compete.
Callaway collected great masses of Zulu answers to his inquiries, and it is plain that a respondent, like the native theologian whom we have cited, may have adapted his reply to what he had learned of Christian doctrine. Callaway's valuable collections.
The question of Sophie's legitimacy anses from the fact that her mother, Jane Callaway, was registered at death as ``a spinster. Sophie was one of ten children. Dickey Daw drank his family into the poorhouse, an institution which sent Sophie to fend for herself in 1805, procuring her a place as servant at a farm on the island. Service on a farm does not appear to have appealed to Sophie.
These are technically termed apports. The writer knows a case in which this was attested by a witness of the most unimpeachable character. But savages hardly go so far. Bishop Callaway has an instance in which 'spirits' tossed objects into the midst of a Zulu circle, but such things are not usual.
The names of the three girls were Betsy and Fanny Callaway and Jemima Boon, See Boon's Narrative, and Butler, who gives the letter of July 21, 1776, written by Col. John Floyd, one of the pursuing party. Three weeks after the return to the fort Squire Boon united in marriage the eldest pair of lovers, Samuel Henderson and Betsey Callaway. It was the first wedding that ever took place in Kentucky.
Callaway observes, neither the long-haired mountain cannibals of Western Africa, nor the Fulahs, nor the tribes of Eghedal described by Barth, "can be considered as answering to the description of long-haired as given in the Zulu legends of cannibals; neither could they possibly have formed their historical basis..... It is perfectly clear that the cannibals of the Zulu legends are not common men; they are magnified into giants and magicians; they are remarkably swift and enduring; fierce and terrible warriors."
Disturbed state of the country in 1775 Breaking out of the Revolutionary war Exposed situation of the Kentucky settlements Hostility of the Indians excited by the British First political convention in the West Capture of Boone's daughter and the daughters of Colonel Callaway by the Indians Their rescue by a party led by Boone and Callaway Increased caution of the colonists at Boonesborough Alarm and desertion of the Colonies in the West by land speculators and other adventurers A reinforcement of forty-five men from North Carolina arrive at Boonesborough Indian attack on Boonesborough in April Another attack in July Attack on Logan's Fort, and siege Attack on Harrodsburg.
The secret effort of the Indians to tunnel a way underground into the fort, being discovered by the defenders, was frustrated by a countermine. Unable to outwit, outfight, or outmaneuver the resourceful Callaway, de Quindre finally withdrew on September 16th, closing the longest and severest attack that any of the fortified stations of Kentucky had ever been called upon to withstand.
