Jameson telegraphed to Harris, Charter, Capetown: 'There will be no flotation if left to themselves; first delay was races, which did not exist; second policies, already arranged. All mean fear. You had better go as quickly as possible and report fully, or tell Hon. C.J. Rhodes to allow me. The reply to this was: 'It is all right if you will only wait. Captain Maurice Heany comes to you from Col.
Harris informs Colonel Rhodes at Johannesburg that, 'Have arranged for Captain Maurice Heany; Dr. Jameson awaiting Capt. Maurice Heany's arrival. Keep market firm. And later: 'Charles Leonard says flotation not popular, and England's bunting will be resisted by public. Is it true? Consult all our friends and let me know, as Dr.
Heany, for fear she'd be frettin' about the little boy that's lyin' at home in the small-pox; and indeed I thought 'twas for him it was; but man proposes, and God disposes and death forgets none, the Lord be praised and everyone has their hour, old and young, Ma'am; and as I was sayin', they had no notion or expectation up at the Elms, Ma'am, she was so bad, the heavens be her bed this night.

F.W. Rhodes by special train to-day. And, again, two hours later, Dr. Harris for the Chartered Company telegraphs: 'Goold Adams arrives Mafeking Monday, and Heany, I think, arrives to-night; after seeing him, you and we must judge regarding flotation, but all our foreign friends are now dead against it and say public will not subscribe one penny towards even with you as a director Ichabod.
Major Heany was sent by train viâ Kimberley, and in order to facilitate his travelling a telegram was sent to Mr. Rhodes in Capetown asking him to arrange for a special train, and acquainting him with the purpose of the trip. Captain Holden was sent on horseback across country to Pitsani. Both gentlemen carried the most definite instructions to Dr. Jameson on no account to move.
Rutherfoord Harris 'We will make our own flotation by the aid of the letter which I shall publish' can set up any defence at the expense of others. By Wednesday night it was known that Major Heany had passed through Mafeking in time to join Dr. Jameson's force, and that, bar some extraordinary accident, Captain Holden must have met Dr.
Jameson is quite ready to move resolution and is only waiting for Captain Heany's arrival. A few hours later Dr. Jameson telegraphs to Harris, Charter, Capetown: 'Received your telegram Ichabod re Capt. Maurice Heany. Have no further news. I require to know.
The Reform Committee had then learnt that the two messengers sent to stop Dr. Jameson Major Heany and Captain Holden had reached him, and had come in with him, and were at that moment prisoners with him in Pretoria.
Blake questioning and Major Heany replying: 'Having got the message you went off with it and you got in, as we see by the evidence, as quickly as you could, and you just gave the message as accurately as you could to Dr. Jameson? I read the message from my note-book absolutely accurately to Dr. Jameson. 'And he did not lose much time in making up his mind? No; he went outside his tent.
