No phase of the Company's activities is more important than its construction of the Rhodesian railways. They represent a double-barrelled private ownership in that they were built and are operated by the Company. There are nearly 2,600 miles of track.
Regaining the open air he posted a sentry over the entrance and, collecting the German prisoners, awaited the arrival of the C.O. By this time all resistance on the summit of M'ganga was over. Away to the north-east came occasional reports of rifle-firing, showing that the Pathans and the Rhodesian horse were engaging the fugitives. The one fly in the ointment was the escape of von Gobendorff.
Just about the time that Rhodes made the Rhodesian diamond deal a prospector came to him and said: "If I bring you a handful of rough diamonds what will I get?" "Fifteen years," was the ready retort. He was never at a loss for an answer. We can now turn to the really romantic side of the Rhodesian mineral deposits.
A part of this force is scattered in small garrisons of half a battalion each at points on the railways leading to the Free State Burghersdrop, Naauwpoort, and Kimberley. At Mafeking Colonel Baden-Powell has raised a local force and has fortified the place as well as its resources permit. A force of Rhodesian volunteers is moving from Buluwayo towards Tuli, on the northern border of the Transvaal.
When I came away it was like closing a book and writing 'Finis. I do not want to reopen the book for many reasons." "But your people?" she ventured, longing to hear more, yet fearful of staying his unexpected confidence. "I have no people," and his voice was suddenly stern. "But your home?..." bravely; "your country?..." "My home is here. My country is here. I am a Rhodesian."
Isn't it enough that you know she could love you as a Rhodesian soldier-policeman? Why torture yourself unnecessarily?" "If I were only a Rhodesian policeman I should not have come." She looked at him with quick curiosity. Then something had happened! There really was some great change in him. He smiled into her questioning eyes. "Then Mrs. Grenville did not tell you?"
Under irrigation, citrus fruits, oats and barley do well. Cattle are a bulwark of Rhodesian prosperity. The immense pasturage areas are reminiscent of Texas and Montana. For a hundred years before the white settlers came, the Matabeles and the Mashonas raised live stock. The natives still own about 700,000 head, nearly as many as the whites.
Her husband had since died, and this lady was travelling round that part of Africa representing the Loyal Women's League, who did such splendid work in marking out and tending the soldiers' graves. At Mafeking we picked up the Rhodesian train de luxe, and travelled in the greatest comfort to Bulawayo, and on to Salisbury. At that town we met a party, comprising, amongst others, Dr.
Encouraged by this small success, Methuen's cavalry on January 9th made another raid over the Free State border, which is remarkable for the fact that, save in the case of Colonel Plumer's Rhodesian Force, it was the first time that the enemy's frontier had been violated. The expedition under Babington consisted of the same regiments and the same battery which had covered Pilcher's advance.
Diana snappy was better than no Diana at all. Aunt Emily thought otherwise, and was deeply grateful to them in her heart whenever they took her refractory niece safely out of her way. Her escapades were apt to be so wild nowadays, and her language so horrifying; and whenever the poor lady remonstrated, she was always told that it was the result of the Rhodesian trip.
